I have only experienced this while playing on the Warmane server Ragnaros. My game continues to crash as it fails to attempt to read certain files. Typically they are skins (death knights, mounts, spider mobs) from what I believe based on the error messages. While playing I enter a populated area like Stormwind and receive these errors constantly, or I will be somewhere remote and my game will constantly crash at the instant I log in. Please help with suggestions.

I have tried the following:
1. Deleted game files and re-downloaded the WotLK client. This is a 18gb torrent file and downloading it over and over again is not a solution. Because this version requires no installation, the 'repair utility' has no way of understanding which corrupted files I need to replace. Additionally, some of these files that are listed in the error cannot be easily found in my pc, if they are there.
2. Locating WotLK file and under properties I deselect 'read only'. The file always reverts back to a 'read only' status upon closing the properties window. I have tried to execute commands in windows in order to force the file to keep 'read only' unselecting, but this caused me issues when I tried to use the file, so I re-downloaded that.
3. I have ran diagnostic tests on my RAM and hardware using software recommended by this forum and I passed all tests.
4. All of my video drivers are up to date
I have not 'uninstalled WoW, defragged my hard drive, and reinstalled' the game since the game has never been installed when playing on Warmane and my hard drive was recently cleared as I refurbished my laptop.
Soz for the slow reply I kinda forgot about this topic I intended on replying sooner
Yes, the dumb and painful way is to manually installing and patching a client from scratch, but you could just use another mpq file with those missing corrupted files to fix it
I`ll make you one if you haven`t DL`d and patched up already
