Project Lore

for this error make sure your virus thing is off

Thnx mate that fixed my problem ;)

This was the information i was looking for, thanks dude and lets hope it will work!

Thanks.. Worked :D was just about to go to my friends so i could get it off his hardrive :P

Didn't have this problem.. but then maybe that's because I disabled UAC after the first week of being annoyed by it. :)

WoW was fine for me on the day of the patch, was able to play and get some cool stuff done, (new tourny stuff, and get started with the ravasaur quest).

But, last nights restart on Nazgrel screwed me over royally. WoW had a fatal error and crashed on me while logging on today. I figured "ok, just a fluke." I tried again, same exact thing. Flustered, I go to the wow repair utility. I thought that would fix it for sure... Nope! :D About 3 parts into the repair I get an error message telling me that there is 'Too much data to repair.' and to 'Please reinstall'

Sooo... I've been reinstalling and patching ALL DAY :D

This Happen to anyone else?

Im just a kid trying to get my new patch downloaded.
When i first tried getting on WoW, a downloader came up,
and when it got to 70% it got Aborted because i had a older version.Now I got passed 70% but now it's super slow. Anybody can help?

installed WoW on my comp which has Vista. worked fine untill 3.2. my interface got all screwed up. boxes around texts wouldnt appear. it was just floating text. my action bar was missing and there was only a colored bar that was my exp bar. my map was a bunch of big colored boxes, as well as the landscape itself.
any suggestions/answers/help?

same with me

ive been this way since aug 5
really getting me pissed

I downloaded the patch fine but when updating I get this error

"This file
'\base\world\maps\Northrend\Northrend_41_30.adt' could not be opened.
If this problem persists you many be able to solve it by uninstalling/reinstalling the game.
If you are unable to resolve please contact Blizzard Technical support. (InstallerFile::Open)."

I've tried Repair.
I've re-installing,
I've tried running as administrator.. I've tried
booting in safe mode, disabling UAC, re-installing using only the Wrath DVD..
& I still get the same issue!!! only this time while patching to 3.0.3 ../sigh.

Still no reply from Blizz tech support, I contacted them nearly 2 days ago now.
They are ignoring this issue until the players affected simply give up.

got stuck @ 70%, i disabled my anti virus and everything worked!!!

I was having problems downloading the latest patch as it would get to 70% then shut down, on my laptop running Vista.

I tried the fix suggested, but it did not work, so I modified the approach a little.

Instead of Running the Launcher as an Admin, I went into the WOW folder right clicked on the latest versions of:

Downloader
Updater

and selected Run as an administrator. It completed the download within seconds and at last I was able to login and play.

The WoW Launcher would download Patch 3.2, but would then give an error, "Failure to Apply Patch," or "Unable to Apply Patch." After trying the repair utility, a quick search reveals the steps to fix the problem:

■Go to the folder where WoW is installed. I find the easiest way to get there is simply right clicking the shortcut I use to launch WoW and choosing "Open File Location"
■Right Click on Launcher.exe
■Choose Run as Administrator
■If a UAC window pops up, choose continue
■Let the patching commence

^^ Best info ever, after using repair, re-installing the game 2 times as the repair suggested. it still failed while patching (windows 7, saved in shared/users/games) giving a slighty different error every time, corrupt game etc. this worked first time, gotta love forums. thanks so much for your help.
