Hi, I'm having a pretty unique issue with my game. Whenever I play on a different account, I tend to lag out on that account within the first few seconds. I am not having this issue with my main account at all, and I am pretty confused. I have tried deleting the cache, I have tried redownloading WoW 2 times but still there is nothing has worked. Please help. Thanks :)
edit: nvm sorry, i think acc was corrupted or smth
did the whole chmod777 drag the warcraft file in press enter which seem to just about work until it came up with and error "unable to open DBFfilesclient\startup_strings.dbc(unknown):0" if anyone could help that would be great. this is for lich king, i did do cats few years ago which worked and still works but I'm getting this error
Yup I made a mistake, gave some bad code above when I wrote down a directory. I edited the post above, thanks. This is what works to correct the permissions on the Warmane Lich King torrent after you've copied it to your Applications folder from wherever your torrent program put it. I've personally run each of these commands on my system right now as I'm writing this.
Three commands here so you can see before and after the effects.
The commands will: list the details about the file, change the perms on it, and list the details again.
Pro tips: Drag your terminal window so it's at least 150 columns wide,
When the chmod command works, it displays no feedback.
ls -l "/Applications/Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (Mac)/World of Warcraft.app/Contents/MacOS/World of Warcraft"
chmod 755 "/Applications/Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (Mac)/World of Warcraft.app/Contents/MacOS/World of Warcraft"
ls -l "/Applications/Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (Mac)/World of Warcraft.app/Contents/MacOS/World of Warcraft"
I've tried both codes, and i just get feedback that says "permission denied" or "...is a directory". I'm noobish with this sort of thing so I'm probably doing something wrong... help please!
Edit: ok, I succesfully changed the permissions... now when I try to open the app it tells me "failed to open interface.mpq".. aghhhh....... anyone found a solution to this problem?
"To install from scratch on a computer with Lion or if you just want to use a torrent, download the PC client via a torrenting client. One such client is Transmission . Download the torrent tracker for the PC game files here for WOTLK or here for Cata. Once you have successfully download the files, drag the folder to your applications folder, then drag the .app file for your version from here (WOTLK or Cata)"
What does "from here" mean? Does it mean i have to drag the folder "wotlk" to applications or just the file in it? FROM HERE TO WHERE?! It is not very well explained
I was having the same problem most people have mentioned here. I put the entire wow folder into the applications folder and deleted both the ''launcher'' and wow app file to trash and replaced with the above link. WORKS PERFECTLY NOW. THANKS !
Hi, i'm currently having the same problem as everyone here. However, i can't acces the link you've given us above. (Blocked by government) Do you have an idea of where i can find this link? Thank you
