I have a problem with my "Planomic" character. The problem I have is that many times it happens to me that an error arises that throws me out of the game, and when I go to enter it tells me that this character already exists, and the error is continuous, practically does not leave game with the character more than 30 seconds. When I manage to enter after the error "That character already exists" it does not last within the game for more than a few seconds when the wow breaks

Check if your connection is not interrupted. "Character already exists" is just a side-effect of you being disconnected.

It is not because of a connection problem, it only happens to me in that character, in the other entrances without any problem, whenever I try to enter it, it is when it comes out, and it breaks. It is usually seasonal, sometimes it does not happen but when it says to happen the wow falls due to an error, not a fall due to connection failure, and then it is a continuous "The character already exists" but only with him.

What error do you get (post screenshot) and when? It's likely a corrupt file that gets used when you enter a certain area.

Right now it has not happened to me again, but it usually happens to me often, it is a matter of waiting a little, as soon as I come out again I will take photos. It usually happens in Dalaran, at least the times it has happened to me there. It is the typical wow error that opens a window to send the problem that has happened to "Blizzard". As soon as it happens again I take a photo and upload it. Although "That character already exists" usually happens to me not only when that error happens, but when I leave the character and go to another and return to the character of the error, that message skips me, and I have to give it several times until at the end it enters.

"Character with that name already exists" is a server measure. It keeps your character in the world for a minute longer after you disconnect, error out, close WoW randomly or any other combination. So when you try to enter with the same character it forbids you since that character is still in the world. It's nothing to worry over.
If most of your errors happen in Dalaran it could be the classic WoW running out of memory issue, since WoW WotLK is a 32-bit app - in that case I recommend you read this, download it and apply to WoW.exe: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...-aware.112556/
I use it and it's safe. Haven't had a memory error in 5 years give or take.

Yes, I think it's going to be like that, I remember I read something about memory when I jumped the error, I didn't remember it until you mentioned it. If so, thank you very much, I was a little fed up with that mistake. I'm going to read it and I'm going to do it, thank you very much friend
If it were a forum with voting you have my 10/10 ;)
