Keeps telling me to update retail when trying to launch BC

[Anglerholic-benediction]

we need are wow drug fix hurry up and fix your shi.t . some of us quit are jobs and are unemployed to play wow . i even skip sleep and baths who else is with me?

[Litespeed-atiesh]

Thanks, i also found the download hidden near the “bell”.

There’s 5.5 hours before servers are expected to go live (and it’ll probably be delayed like usual), so I don’t see a need to uninstall/reinstall. It’s just having a weird hiccup right now, but you can’t play anyway so what does it matter?

The automatic redirecting to Retail is annoying, though.

didnt show for me…

[Syrium-benediction]

I simply offered a solution to people who were having issues. There seems to be a varying/wide array of issues. Nobody is forcing you to uninstall/reinstall. It’s an OPTION

[Syrium-benediction]

Yeah most people aren’t seeing/given that option.

stuck with 2.5.4.42800 . want update to 2.5.4.42801 and it dont see update

[Tactics-malfurion]

I had to delete cache folder in wow to fix it.

[Olddolio-mankrik]

I figured it was just general update nonsense. After I tried to log in three times (the last time I logged out of battle.net and then logged back in) I decided to come in here and complain about journeyman riding prices.Check me out.

didnt work for me

@Syrium-benediction

Alright so I was able to fix

i did what you said and it fixed it!

[Subculture-benediction]

how do you back up your wtf and interface folder

[Shivman-tichondrius (Shivman)]

@Subculture-benediction

how do you back up your wtf and interface folder.

Copy/paste on to your desktop.
Delete classic TBC completely from your computer.
uninstall the game too.
reinstall the game paste the WTF folder/interface folder back in the classic TBC folder

[Morien-chogall]

This is happening to me as well, still not installing retail again.

[Eienthassa-whisperwind]

Yes i am. and i updated it and it still won’t launch BCC

[Subculture-benediction]

i dont even see a wtf folder

[Eienthassa-whisperwind]

Yeah i’m not gonna delete the WTF folder…I would rather cancel my account than have to set up my interface again.

@Shivman-tichondrius

Copy/paste (WTF/Interface folders) on to your desktop.
Delete classic TBC completely from your computer.
uninstall the game too.
reinstall the game paste the WTF folder/interface folder back in the classic TBC folder

Fixed… Thanks a lot man for the solution.
Now just have to wait for the realms to get back up.

You only need Shadowlands to play Shadowlands content and level past 50. Take a deep breath and unwrap the tinfoil off of your head.

[Flinda-sulfuras]

Do NOT uninstall the game. This will fix the problem:

What's with this error message?

BNet will not launch the game. Here’s the error that is reported: An updated version of World of Warcraft is available. Please launch the Battle.net app to download the update. However, this error is delivered in a text window, not a Blizzard Error Message. Classic launches just fine. Retail? Nope. Can anyone explain what’s going on and what I need to do to the game to launch?
