[Main Thread] - Permissions errors updating or repairing games in Battle.net

No ETA just yet! Though I can say it’s a high priority issue so hopefully we will see some progress on it soon.

Players should still be able to open the game by bypassing the launcher if it’s updated enough to connect online. Players who are not updated may see red (incompatible) realms when logging in. To login manually:

  1. In the launcher, click the gear icon next to the play/update button then select show in explorer.
  2. Open the folder game version you’re wanting to play
  3. Double click (or right-click and run) the wow executable (it will say application under type)
  4. Login manually since we bypassed the app

Note, the above instructions are for Windows users. We have instructions set up for Mac users on this thread.
