Sept 8th-12th 2019 - WoW connection issues / WOW51900328

banning mac ids makes no sense. it can be easily changed or fooled. if anything they would ban yiou by pc fingerprint through calls from the os kernel. but why? no point.

[Gangrule-sargeras]

Well we will find out. Like I said a new NIC is on the way and if that works well then it looks like I’m right, if it doesn’t well then I have no earthly idea what’s going on. But since I can literally get on my account from any other comp on the same network plugged into the same router and I can get on using a VPN… I’m pretty sure about it. Either way I’ll update once I know for sure.

To all my fellow Linux users
I did this and worked, for now…

On terminal:

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=129

But you have to run one of those commands whenever the computer boots. To make this setting persistent across reboots you could append the following line to the file /etc/sysctl.conf :

net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=129

Wow51900328

OS’ impacted so far: Various distro’s of linux (large community of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS users) Windows 10 Some MAC OS users Linux users find ways to change their TTL from 64 to 128 in case the upstream provider is filtering by passive OS fingerprinting to find malicious packets (packets with abnormal TTL so far has been one of the big trigger points) Most linux distro’s right now and some windows 10 builds seem to be defaulting to 64 (less than that can be considered an old OS) 128 is the def…

Im not able to get to Character selection screen. disconnect code (WOW51900319). Already try the solutions posted here but nothing change.
I lost another day trying to play. >=(
Please give more information about the time required to get this fixed.

I am having the same issues with Retail only

[Fiream-arthas]

why are all the topics on this being closed?

[Ronzo-smolderweb]

Same issue, everything was fine and then during server maintenance this morning I had some windows updates, and now I can’t get past the realm selection screen. Won’t work in Classic or Retail. It’s only on my desktop, I can play on 2 different laptops.

[Ronzo-smolderweb]

I can’t connect to any realms. I get to the realm selection, once I try logging in, it sits at the “logging into realm” screen for a minute then kicks me to the main screen logged out. When I try to manually log in and try again, I get the error “wow51900319”. Any ideas? I can connect on my crappy laptop though no problem. I did some windows updates during server maintenance and it hasn’t worked since.

[Aisos-laughing-skull]

Not going to lie and say I understand how this worked, but it did…after 2-3 days of not being able to connect…thank you good sir/madam

[Mïlky-herod]

This issue has been up for 2 days already? I have only been having this issue since this morning.

[Hashstash-area-52]

I’ve been having the same issue logging onto a server in Classic or Retail for about 4 days now. The problem itself is frustrating enough but the terrible customer communication has made it entirely worse causing me to spend hours since then attempting to troubleshoot and understand what was going on. Wish i had some of that time back… GL everyone.

[Mutimirovic-benediction]

cant tell if seri9ous

[Mutimirovic-benediction]

ttl setting fixed it for me

Hi,
I previously posted but i have an update. I’m using an Untangle firewall, but I’m not currently using any apps (just site to site VPN but only for specific subnets).

This firewall is debian-based. Even though I don’t have any apps configured and all outbound traffic is allowed, I created a bypass rule to test. After creating the bypass rule I was able to connect. The way bypass rules work in Untangle is that traffic matching those rules skips layer 7 entirely. There is more info available on their wiki (I can’t link to it but search google for Untangle Bypass Rules to see exactly what they do)

If anyone else has the ability to bypass layer 7 for their traffic on their router/firewall I’d recommend giving it a shot, and hopefully this gives Blizz a little bit more info to narrow down the cause.

Update: Made it through the queue and got to my character screen. Disabled my bypass rule. Attempted to login and it got ~80% through, paused, and eventually gave me an error of world server is down. Re-enabled the bypass rule and logged in with no issue.

Appears to be an issue with Layer 7 on linux routing.

[Wiretap-kiljaeden]

I am still suffering the same issue–3 days.

[Papamidnight-faerlina]

same with me. still getting the error code.

[Gangrule-sargeras]

Update on my end… I changed the physical address of my Comp. SO I changed the MAC address to match my wife’s address… still nothing. NOw I’m out of ideas and I do apologize for thinking Blizzard was attacking our MAC addresses. I really wish I could figure out what the hell is causing this because it’s frustrating when a person 5 ft from you on the same network can not only log into their account but also yours from their comp and you can do neither without the help of a VPN.

[Grizhold-westfall]

tried everything for mobile, no luck. anyone else? good deal on blizz, pay 14.99 for 17hrs of play.

[Mumi-burning-legion]

i cant get any of this crap to work, if i have to change a bunch of settings and mess with stuff i never had to touch before its not fixed nor is it a solution (especially if i have to buy something)

[Shenanigans-blades-edge]

Still can’t connect via Comcast Business class Internet. I can connect by tethering my iPhone to my computer, and connecting via AT&T. Haven’t been able to connect through my home internet since Saturday.
