Morning it seems there is a new hotfix released in china which doesnt match the European version.
Try to update the europe one but it says up to date. Now updating my chinese client to see the diffrence.

Can anybody else confirm this?

GHOST EDIT:

Download link to fixed Wow.exe - Link 1. Link 2.

Fixed Wow.app - Link.

disclaimer: will not work 100%. China seems to be 1 patch ahead of the US/EU servers, thereby confusing the US/EU clients.

Yes same here...Until now I was not able to update. If I modify the launcher.db to "zhCN", launcher will show a chinese error message.

yes china is one hotfix further then EU, updating my chinese client and see if changing the wow.exe works like in the past

Tja, same here. Only i dont use a chinese version. Hope someone will fix this soon.

Just checked on the official froum - ghere are the patch notes for the hotfixes

Updated my Chinese version and replaced the files in my European version. So I can play now.
Unfortunately I have a Mac and cannot upload the exe-files. If somebody need the Mac-Apps just tell me and I'll upload it...

Anybody got already something?

Yes Germany is to slow to update US and UK client are already patched. Just checked again nothing on the German page.

We can still play without the patch but must start the game with the latest chinese Wow.exe


Download and rename the original wow.exe to wowbackup.exe! Copy the Chinese wow.exe into your game folder and play.

Hey Guys,

it is like it always is - last version not backuped.... .
Can somebody put the chinese wow.exe up for upload?
Thxs

Hermann

Looks like there not so many which got this problem.
Solution, as far as i checked it and it is like Jul said:
a.) Rename your eng wow.exe in f.e. wow.exe.bak
b.) Copy the newest chinese wow.exe into the WOW Folder
c.) Start the game with the wow.exe in the folder and enjoy

So now only someone need to upload the latest chinese wow.exe Version. Because I am hell no downloading the whole game in Chinese just to get 1 file

Cheers

Hermann

danziqi can you throw the mac files up please

Here are both World of Warcraft and the Launcher App for Mac (5.4.0 Hotfix):
Rapidshare

Hey everyone, I took the change and left my client how it was with the zhCN in the configs and everything. I ran the launcher and it downloaded a new launcher as always and then started downloading the new patch - 900 and something MB in all. I am now on 5.4.0 (17371) and playing wow up to date in China. If you would like proof then feel free to let me know.

ITS SAFE to just run the launcher and download the update.

thanks man

I trird it this way and it really doesn't want to work...I just get a *BONG* noise and an error message.

Could anyone have a crack at uploading the latest chinese Wow.exe please?

Other than that I reckon i just wait for the catch-up?

Cheers :-)

Mine says its updated from the EU part but when i try to connect on the chinese part it just says i need to install a patch, i press restart takes me to the launcher which says i'm up to date, rince repeat :S

Yeah, funny topic.
Mine is the same:
1.) EU is uptodate but
2.) China needs update but
3.) get Error message then.

Hope somebody will upload soon for Windows.

Hermann

Only US and UK is updated Germany and other EU parts will get it the coming week.

Here is the latest Chinese WoW.exe:

P.S: There is no chance for the EU (German) client to update with the chinese zhZn, it will always give an error! For US version it might work for u.

Hey Jul,

thxs for that. Unfortunately I was not able to download the file. Ive got:

I am not so sure but i think you can not dl .exe files directly. I guess you have to pack them first.

I'm not convinced that the UK is up to date as my launcher runs on enGB and i still get the issue.

I'm about to try it one more time but nothing much seems to have changed since yesterday and the UK launcher says everyting is just dandy......

edit: Nope, still waiting for that update.....

I also seem to get issues getting hold of the Chinese version :-

Firefox can't find the file at Link.

waaaah!

i downloaded the wow.exe that was uploaded and i still get the same error.
Any more help?

Sorry got here late. Dave could you tell me what you've done so far with your client?

Does it matter if i have multiple copies of a folder (realmlist, realmlistEU, realmlistCN)?
I assume it only uses the actual Realmlist folder, not the others? The others i can just use to store the details?

Launcher: enGB

I've tried updating the client from the EU side (launcher enGB) and it says its up to date, (i can even play on the EUserver... 500ping).
But when run the wow.exe (whats the difference between wow.exe and wow-64.exe?) i get a error message (in chinese).

Did you try using stitch's copy of WoW to login?

If it that doesn't work, try renaming Launcher.exe to launcher.exe.bak. Go into WTF and open Launcher.db and change enGB to zhCN.

The difference between wow.exe and wow-64.exe is that one runs on 32 bit process chips in your pc's, and the other on 64 bit chips (more powerful) but you'll hardly be able to tell the difference for a game like WoW.

I redownloaded the wow.exe and its working now, thanks so much for the help.
Now i just have to decide what server were going to play on

Also, when i first logged in, a gm messaged me, i couldnt tell at all what the email said but i noticed that it had (email) at one part, any idea what that may have been? Has it happened to anyone else?
Obviously it was in chinese so i have no idea what it was
Also i logged out as i was checking out the other characters cinematics so i dont have a screenshot

Are you sure he was a GM and not a scammer?

I will upload the exe later again. I had no problems and it worked fir dave to download it.
Maybe its your browser problem?

It popped up in the top right corner, "A game master sent you a message" or something like that, then it opened up the GM Message box. (i've played wow from bc - cata and i'm fairly convinced it was a GM )
It's ok if my chars have english characters right?

Also, is it ok that my e-mail is hotmail?
(trying to think what he could have been going on about )

Dont bother about it. English names, hotmail all that is fine. We play for many years and i dont know anybody who got in trouble. Just ignore it.

Edit : This is a screen shot of the gm's message

postimg org/image/refi8ueel/
(you have to put the dot in because i cant since i haven't been a member for 7 days yet.)

Managed to get my GF's client up to date. I THINK.
But i keep getting the battle.net error #2 Unable to connect. please try again later...

It looks like the GM sent you a mail to welcome you as a new player. Apparently, he/she can help you out and introduce you to other people. There may even be some kind of goodies involved. But, you have to reply to the whisper and chat.

Pretty sure you can just ignore the message.

If you're getting Unable to connect, usually its some kind of conflict between your ISP and the game servers. Enea gave me a way to fix it, which is to change your DNS servers in your network settings to Google's free DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). For instructions, check here: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using?csw=1

Edit - Everything seems to have worked itself out after about 5 hours of troubleshooting
Time to get some gaming done

Were gona have to play on the beijing servers, shanghai has 300+ ping

If anyone is on the beijing servers let us know (:
Were currently leveling on "艾露恩 (Elune)".

Hey all- Long time no see! Anyway, just got the new one after not playing for 2 years...been working fine until yesterday when I tried taking the boat to StormHelm. It would load after the movie I would be over in StormHelm for a second and then it would reload and kick me back to Stormwind. After that I have been getting this "Unable to connect, try again later, if the problem persists then contact Technical support" message. Before I was playing with the rest of my hours but yesterday I also switched to the daily pay method (I'm not sure Richard deals with the payment option since I'm back in the US right now).

Anyone know what I should do???
