0 Zurlock Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm seeing a whole bunch of, "-64"s in your folder, which is a new file name Blizzard introduced to us for patch 5.x and up. For some reason they're in your folder, when they're not supposed to be in there, as those files are not needed for patch 4.x. I'm looking in my Icecold WoW folder, too. I also don't see ".agent.db" in it, as it's probably a 5.x file. To my knowledge, the Icecold Launcher doesn't install the 5.x files. Title: Incorrect Version Message: You need WoW version 4.X to play. It even says so in your WoW error. You're probably running the 5.x files, also known as Mists of Pandaria files. You made a -WHOLE NEW- folder, right? One that doesn't have any files in it whatsover, right? I'd recommend just going to C:\Program Files\, and making a new folder there called something like, "Icecold", putting the downloaded launcher in there, then running it. Here's the link to the right launcher for your problem... http://www.icecold-wow.com/downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i suppose that for some uknown to me reason, cata seems to be downloading pandaria files. Maybe i should download it from some other site?? Anyway, ill download it again, as it again eraised all my files when i put the correct version in my wow directory ( not the one you showed me, the one regarding placing it in wow directory folder ) but again, for some reason, the space in my hard drive is the same and no files size 36 gb seem to be missing.

0 Owners Rocx Posted December 27, 2012 Owners Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 By default, your Blizzard install disk or download WILL force itself onto MoP as hard as it can. Generally you should stay away from official downloads and installs. Here is your best option: Create a brand new, empty folder somewhere. Drop IceColdLauncher.exe into it Open the IceCold launcher and press "(Re)Install Game" Let it do it's thing. At the end, you will get a black screen for 10-15 mins before the login screen loads. Now a working Cata install should be in the new folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a working Cata install should be in the new folder That is what i am trying to say, it says PATCH RECQUIRED and wont let me download once in sign in. The download goes perfectly well, the screen goes black, wow log in page appears, i enter the code and sign in and yet PATCH RECQUIRED. Please exit and download the patch or something. I created an empty file in which i put the launcher above, i clicked on it and it started downloading. But first, a window (always) pops up that says a proper wow folder was not found in .... and then i press reinstall game. But again PATCH RECQUIRED. Please, help guys its been nearly a week i have been trying to solve that problem. By the way, Is it Neccessary that i download cata before i create (lets say) an empty file on my desktop where i put the icecold launcher and start downloading? Or am i wasting my time downloading cata over and over again? OR---- if you believe that it is not right to download from a disc, then where am i going to find wow and be able to download it online? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vordnox Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Oh and by the way, i get a wow error in my file together with all the other files you icecold launcher creates, the moment the download is finished.

0 Vordnox Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey, whenever i click play wow when the icecold window pops up, another window appers that says realmlist/cache could not be modified, run as admin or something. I run as admin, click play wow AGAIN and only then does the log in screen appear. It does it every time. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run as admin, click play wow AGAIN and only then does the log in screen appear. It does it every time. Any ideas? What's in the folder, exactly? If .agent.db, battle.net-64.dll etc are in the folder, it didn't work, again. Did the whole installation process commence after you ran the Icecold Launcher? If it did, just let it run, and you'll find yourself at the log in screen, log in. If that, "patch" error occurs, then for some reason you're downloading files from the battle.net directly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let me just note that when you're done installing the icecold-launcher stuff, do not run the official World of Warcraft launcher, at all, as it will just update you with the 5.x files. Also, let me just confirm that you have to make a -brand new- folder, not in the main WoW directory at all, and you'll have to put the Icecold-Launcher in that brand new folder, and launch it. Make sure no other files are in that folder except the Icecold-Launcher. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you're Windows XP, go to, ---------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ ---------------------- Make a backup of, "Battle.net", and "Blizzard Entertainment", somewhere other than in Application Data, (preferebly the desktop), then delete the folders in Application Data. After you've done this, delete the Icecold files and folders, then attempt to reinstall them again by using the icecold launcher. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As for the realmlist/cache error, I don't know, just troubleshoot with my steps above.

0 a81986562923 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 No if you want to download a cata game you can but you create a new folder download the IceCold Launcher and open it and click the button Re-install game and it will do its thing and wait for the wow log in screen and then log in if it does it again contact admin and he will tell what to do or he will give you a link to get a free cata download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Zurlock Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Like I've stated multiple times, don't even insert the disc, Vordnox. Just download the Icecold-Launcher don't install any form of Retail World of Warcraft. Start from scratch, and don't even install World of Warcraft. Now, download the launcher, put it in a new folder, and run it. If you didn't install anything from retail, or Blizzard's servers, you won't get the 5.x files. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Update me on what happened. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vordnox Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Once again, thank you for your patience :) Anyway, when i search in my computer files, i get some pandaria files as a result which i cannot delete for some reason, as, according to what it says, i need to get permition from TrustedInstaller kind of thing and wont let me eraise them. For example servercore-wow64-rm FailoverCluster-Core-WOW64-RM ServerCore-EA-IME-WOW64-RM and several other pandaria stuff, which have been downloaded from the disc which i have run several times in the past... Other than that, i follow your steps very accuratelly, and havent tried opening the wow launcher while downloading from icecold ( and havent touched it in general ) as i eraised all wow files from previous downloads, other than the ones i mentioned above. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
