samoney Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi everyone. So i was gone a while and decided to come and play a bit of Wow. So i reinstalled Wow and downloaded the launcher. And when i want too open the launcher pops this error: Anyone have any suggestions? Btw: i work on an XP SP3 and i can tell it worked the last time i played AND the game is installed corecly. Why? i can login on other servers and dosent crash or anything. Txs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacepanther Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Right click the program, go to properties > Compatibility Settings tab (or options or something) > check the box to run as administrator > Run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2 or 3. Let me know if you have issues with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try other stuff too and if something comes too work i will post. So i managed too login with another launcher from a diferent wow server. i changed the realmlist and keep changed the patchlist but everytime at realm selection it shows that they are closed. Do someone know the realmlist or if someone can copy what it got in realmlist file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remembered well it's 4.3 but it's there a chance too be older version? And please for GM's, try too be more specific in the section how too install (like more steps, what version of wow too have, how too install the launcher, etc). It would help more people when they want to come here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoney Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Well the realmlist just helped me too enter in game but still the servers are offline for me. So i need the launcher for playing. And there is a thought that went trough my head: is this launcher made on a OS newer than XP? It might be a error of not reading the launcher by XP user because the Launcher is made in a OS newer and not made compatible for lower versions. And the feature for compatibility told by Space above is for higher versions of OS, so i cant use that because i dont want too be compatibil on lower versions than XP (like 95, NT, 2000 ). It works just for Vista versions and above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hachu Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 My question being who the hell even uses XP anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomblast92 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 My question being who the hell even uses XP anymore.People that prefer to save memory usage.Okay, so the idea is pretty easy, you've got a Windows pc so you have to download the launcher from www.icecold-wow.com, paste it preferably in the unit where's not the windows installed (most of the time Windows in the C: partition, you should paste it in a new empty folder on D: partition or where you have most free memory). Last time I tried playing ice-cold on a 4.3.4 client I had some problems with the graphic card clustering some red-green phasing. And that's mostly it, just gotta put the launcher in a new folder and click reinstall game data... Icon is like 2 arrows going to each other. Hope you get it to work and I hope we'll get to see in-game soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoney Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 So... it's true that most of people upgrade too better OS's but i cant (for tehnical reasons) but that isn't the problem here. And the memory isn't either. It dosent matter if you install the WoW in C: D: or wathever if it works. Like i said earlyer in my posts the game works on other servers. I installed other launchers and worked without a problem. I have plenty of memory space and the graphic card it handels the preasure. So i will try something else and will come with a answer for the launcher somehow. txs for the help so far and hope we can see each other in game.

samoney Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Finaly. I managed too get on my hands a laptop who has Wind 8. I instaled the game and guess what? the launcher works without a problem. OK. what now? So i wanted too go lower OS. First i try with the compatiblity from Properties : the launcher can be opened with every OS till XP were it gives an error. Next i can be sure i try a XP simulator on wind 8: it gives the same error as at the start of the post. Conclusion: the launcher has been configured on a newer OS than XP and, probably, the admins (or programmers for launcher) forgot to check the options for lower OS. I'm not upset or anything for that matter but it's something that might be thought when u program something like a free program ( i understand that no one wants a XP too run like the Hachu said above). It might be fixed with a check on the options on launcher but till then i hope i can get somehow too play again (and for those who ask "Why dont u play on the laptop, daaaaw?", it's not mine "daaaaw"). Txs for the help so far and cya in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofl_bruda Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'll pass on the launcher suggestion to Ryan. As far as the server version, we're a 4.0.6 server which might be why a 4.3 client was giving you issues. Our launcher has an option to download an entirely new WoW client if you want. Just put it into an empty folder anywhere on the computer, click "Reinstall Game Data", and let it do its thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatk0o Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got the same issue with the launcher.I am running XP too, but just can't get it to work. I have played WoW on XP on Ice Cold before, I even have characters there, but with the new launcher I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owners Rocx Posted April 3, 2015 Owners Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi, The IceCold Launcher targets the .NET Framework 3.5. This framework is installed by default since Windows 7, but not on older systems. You can download it manually here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 Spacepanther 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
