Can't change my realmlist

Post by Paperchaser »

I might just be plainly retarded ( but I'm still pretty sure I'm doin' the right things )
So basically whenever I try to change my realmlist I receive an error message : « Impossible d'enregistrer ou de créer se fichier.Vérifiez que le disque où vous voulez enregistrez le fichier n'est pas saturé,protégé en écriture ou endommagé.(C:Program Files (x86)\...\realmlist.txt)
Yes I know, the error message is in french, I'll try to translate it as good as I can ( But, it will not be really good, since I'm far from being good at english )
So : « Impossible to save or create this folder.Verify the drive where you want to save the folder if it is not saturate, write protected or damaged. »

What I'm actually doing to change my realmlist :
1 - Open the « Realmlist » folder
2 - change my realmlist for « set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com »
3 - Save it ( Here is the step not working )

Any feedback would be greatly appreciate!

Make sure you have administrator access. That's what happened to me too, Idk how to get admin access for it, I forgot. But I'm almost certain that's the problem, you can't edit files without being an admin or something.

Turn off UAC, this will solve the problem.

Or if you do not want to turn off UAC, save "realmlist.wtf" to the Desktop then click & drag the file into the WoW folder and overwrite the current one. That works too.

I'm not on Windows at the moment but I'm sure there's some good guides on how to do it. It's in the Control Panel. Here's some videos that may help: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+ ... 95&bih=844
