So...I didn't know not to download the new patch...I don't know how to change it back. I tried, and tried but nothing. COuld someone help me please?
Moved this to tech support.
1. Goto your WoW folder.
2. Goto the folder "Data" and delete the file: patch.MPQ.
3. Go back to your WoW folder and run: Repair.exe.
4. You may uncheck the resets, it doesn't matter. Press: Check files only.
5. You'll get a error that WoW is seriously damaged and you've to patch it again.
6. Let the repair finish.
7. Start the launcher and let it patch up to the server's current patch.
Havent got repair?Repair tool!

:mrgreen:
EDIT: Just going to put a giant cross through it. Appears this method doesnt work any more.
Well now it is saying it can't repair and that I now have to reinstall the game :/
If you just deleted the file you can check your recycle bin, and put the file back into the folder. But you didnt mention what step you are on. :|
Okay well..My browser (Which is the retail login browser thingy) downloaded the full patch. I can't really find the file where I paste the info needed for the server. I don't know. i am stupid when it comes to this stuff.
Are you still getting the "have to reinstall the game" problem? I am unsure what problem you have? Are you back to the original problem?
I put the patch back in, and it is still saying i have to reinstall the game.
Well, this is strange. Technicaly this shouldnt be a problem, you havent changed anything. I am asumming you got to step two? If everything is back in place there should be no change.
:/ Then I don't know what to do.
So you still have all of these files in your folder?
common
common-2
expansion
lichking
patch
patch-2
patch-3
- and the new patch?
Okay well If deleting patch.MPQ doesn't work for you then try do this.
- Delete any files - if present - named patch-*.MPQ (for example, patch-2.MPQ)
- Drop back to your main game folder and run the Repair tool
I had a issue like that before but I just delete the other .MPQ files and the repair worked. If it still doesn't work let me know and I get you to do one other thing.
Wait...The start up screen is still downloading things...Didn't realize that. May be the reason. i will post an update shortly.
I don't have either of the common files yet...And I have only the first patch file...I am guessing after everything is done I will have them.
I have skype and would be able to have live video feed of my desktop so you could walk me through it.
Okay so the download is complete, yet still no CoTH.
Perhaps i should go on Vent?
