"Unable to Connect"

Post by LaceUp101 »

I downloaded the 2.4.3 TBC client off of the homepage, http://www.smolderforge.com/site/, and the client it gave me is lacking a realmlist.wtf file. Should I just make one myself?

Edit: I added my own realmlist.wtf, correct and all, but upon logging in it just states "Unable to Connect"

Comparing this client to other TBC clients there seems to be a LOT missing... not quite sure what to do.

I am assumed you downloaded the first link, the pre-installed one? The realmlist file is there, it's just empty. It is in the folder with Wow.exe. If you are used to Wrath+ servers the file is under the /Data/ folder, but in TBC and below it was in the root folder.

The file is empty since this is a universal torrent so multiple servers can use, so simple fill the realmlist with:
set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com

I did use the first link, and it came missing more than half of the files I'm used to seeing in pre-packed clients. I also created the realmlist file under C:\Users\Public\Downloads\2.4.3 Smolderforge\Data\enGB and the realmlist is copied and pasted from your site, as follow:

set realmlist connect.smolderforge.com

Now, however, when I log in, I get stuck at Authenticating. I'll check out some other posts and come back with an edit here soon.

Edit: haven't found a thread that doesn't use the same fix you told me to previously, and my realmlist is not the issue.

As I said in my post, do not create the realmlist under /Data/enGB. In TBC is did not belong there, it belongs in the root folder with Wow.exe.
