"This will download ALL OF WOW, BC and patches to 2.4.3"
BUT the patches are for Windows users so don't download the patches (1.18 Gig .exe junk)
WoW TBC client (Version 2.0.0) (4.04 Gig)

Link is broken. Got the patches but can't find actual client

Go to the downloads page on the main site and download the 2nd link. It has the installers in it, not the pre-installed client.

Oh, thanks for noticing that. That has been fixed.

Thanks for the fix but the installers are PowerPC apps that don't run on new Macs -.- I'll just dual boot or keep playing on this 8yr old desktop

Oh, I assumed you were running Snow Leopard. WoW 2.4.3 will not run at all past Snow Leopard (stickied a thread here: http://www.smolderforge.com/forums/view ... =12&t=4347)

There's something wrong with the game programming, that I don't THINK is Rosetta/PowerPC related because the client has been Universal since 1.12. For example, you can run the 1.12.1 Mac Client in Mountain Lion. 2.4.3 will boot, but crash upon getting to the login screen (black, then crash). I've never been able to find a fix, nor has anyone else on other forums. Truly is sad... I have to keep my iMac forever running Snow Leopard -_-.
