I just downloaded the client and I am trying to get into the game however the game wont launch. I run Wow.exe directly but it wont start, it just loads in up into the task manager and doesn't do anything since:
its been stuck like this for about half an hour.
I tried:
Disabling Firewall and AntiVirus
Compatbility mode to Windows 7, Windows XP SP3 and Windows XP SP2
Deleting WTF folder (although it was empty from the start, and relaunching just creates the folder but no content inside it, if I recall correctly it should create the config file with all the default settings)
Running as Admin.
I am using Windows 8 and the new Wotlk client.
