I’m just about at my wits end. After about a ten year hiatus, I decided to come back to WoW. I had parts for a new rig coming, but I thought I would try it out on my old machine. I got it downloaded. Prepaid a 6 month subscription, and pre-purchased the new expansion. I logged on, played for an hour or two, and after, was not able to log in again. Ok, old machine, just a couple of days and I will have the new rig built. So I build the new machine. Get windows installed, and the only other program that I downloaded was the blizz launcher. Guess what- still can’t log in. I get to the retrieving characters screen with the create timerunner popup, and get Access Violation error. Two machines, one with a clean install, and still can’t get past the loading screen. I have submitted several tickets, that all get marked “resolved” with a link to supposed fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled WoW and Blizzard. exe multiple times, I have turned off xmp for my memory in the bios. I have run the scan and repair ad nauseum. Basically, I feel like I have tried all of the “fixes” that Blizzard has linked, as well as what I have found in the forums to no avail. Now I’m getting angry. I laid out some cash for the new machine, bought expansions, and gametime, and Blizzard keeps telling me that my tickets are “resolved”. I just want a GM to actually look at my ticket instead of auto-generating the list of sometimes fixes and help me. Any suggestions? The one suggestion that I can’t try is changing the in-game graphics settings, but you have to get into the game to actually do that. HELP Please.
TLDR. I can’t log into the game. Access Violation error. None of the recommended fixes have worked.
