Problem loggin in since last patch...

Post by Jazendar »

When i boot up WoW, and type in my user/pw and hit enter, it loads a dl really quick. It finishes, exits me out of WoW to do the patch.

Well instead of loading the patch, the most recent one on the 22nd, it brings up the patch, and then a second updater report thing that says the program was unable to find a file required for patching. File name: WoWErrorAE.exe
Error: The system cannot find the filed specified.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but if you can help me fix it, it would be greatly appreciated..

You might try copying the directory WoW is installed under, doing the reinstall, copying the file that you are missing from the new install to the old one, then try running the game from the old directory.
