Re: Getting disconnected within 20 seconds everytime I log on

Like the title says, I'm constantly getting disconnected within 20 seconds of logging in. I log on, load up a character, and a few seconds after loading a character, any character, it disconnects me. It does the same even if I just sit in the character select screen. Anyone know what's going on? My internet definitely isn't the problem and I can stay connected to other realms fine.

Are you running Wow.exe in Windows XP compatibility mode?

Are you sure you're using just Wow.exe ? :D

Yep, looks like running it in compatibility mode was the problem. I had switched it to that earlier because I was having crackling/static audio issues and that seemed to fix the sound issue. Taking it off compatibility mode fixed the connection issue though, thanks. I'll just deal with the weird audio until I find another fix lol.

Btw, if you don't mind me asking, what's the reason for compatibility mode causing issues on this server?

Something with the way Windows bundles it confuses Warden scanning the memory and it thinks you've injected something into it so it disconnects you. Only seems to happen on XP (possibly below?) Vista, 7, 8 all seem fine.
