Realmlist & Download Issues

Post by zuzulol123 »

Hi,
I'm currently trying to update my game to 2.4.3 but I'm not quite sure how. I installed vanilla WoW & TBC successfully. Which torrent do I now need to download to advance in patches?
WoW Burning Crusade 2.4.3 (Pre-installed) or
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (Installers & Patches)?

Also, I am having some issues changing my realmlist, I keep receiving a message saying:
Cannot create the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Date\enUS\realmlist.wtf file.
Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

Then, I click "ok" and it brings me to a "save as" screen prompting me to save the realmlist, but when I try to save it, I get another message saying:
realmlist.wtf already exists. Do you want to replace it?

When I click yes, the first message specified up top pops up again, any suggestions?

I would recommend downloading the pre-installed client, it is ready to play and you don't need to mess with anything.

In the TBC expansion the realmlist file is not in the enUS folder, it is in the general one. You will find it as soon as you open your WoW folder. Make sure you open it with notepad and edit it to our realm list.

If it won't let you modify the file cut it and paste it in your desktop, modify it and the paste it in your wow folder.

Tell me how it goes.

Alright, the pre-installed client torrent is now being downloaded. :)

Also, the realmlist did not let me modify it upon pasting it into the general WoW folder but I moved it to desktop, modified it, and pasted it back in successfully.
Appreciate the help and if for some reason it doesn't work after it downloads, I'll post here.

Also, once downloaded, do I need to move any files around? Or can I just jump right into the game.

No, you should be able to jump right in!
See you in-game :)

Do you guys have a custom launcher? Because no matter what I do it's disconnecting me from server before I even get off the login page.

Then you have not set your realmlist.wtf correctly at all.

Delete, or uninstall and try again. This time, do not let it patch to 3.0.1.
