WoW launcher and downloader causing validation errors [Updated]![(!empty($user->lang['IMAGE'])) ? $user->lang['IMAGE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'IMAGE')))](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/11/ah110909patchoops.jpg)
I and many tipsters have encountered some issues tonight when trying to launch the game.
Here's what we know:
-The Launcher is downloading something small.
-It is taking much longer than the 2 minutes estimated.
-Sometimes the download fails.
-Once the "something" has been downloaded, some are getting "unable to validate game version".
-Constant attempts to log in appear to make the error go away.
-There is no indication of what has been downloaded.
Here's what we don't know: What was downloaded.
We will update you as soon as we know anything.
Please note: There is no indication patch 3.3 is dropping. NONE.
Update 8:55pm: Blizzard says that the
downloading issues are due to "prime time" and gives some advice in this link, mostly suggesting to wait.
Update 8:44pm: Blizzard is
calling this a "Tools Patch" and saying that "Safe Mode with Networking" is solving some people's problems. Obviously the issues are not fixed.
Update 8:30pm: Blizzard says
they have fixed the issues. Anyone still having problems should
take the steps outlined in this link.
