Exactly. How come WOW players find a solution faster than Blizzard employers… Blizzard brings awesome game features, but it seems cant handle technical issues that keep popping constantly. They need to slow down and brush up what we already have in the game.
So I’m able to log in without making any modifications, the breaking news is also gone. But apparently they couldn’t update this thread when the fix was done…
Hey all,
To update and cap things off here, the fix was implemented with the realm restarts earlier this morning. Everyone should be able to log back in now without making any modifications. The WoW team fixed the problem on the back-end but it required realm restarts to pick up the changes.
The issue had to do with how the WoW client was loading hotfixes after logging into a realm. Players that were already logged into the game or that had logged into the game recently before the problem started were unaffected, but those that had not logged in recently or had swapped realms were getting disconnected.
Copying a Cache folder from a working install was a work around due to the way hotfixes are cached, and I’m glad to see the community was able to help each other out with that. Unfortunately that work around was not something that was discovered early on, and we didn’t want to recommend others have to download Cache files from unofficial sources.
