WoW.exe error

[Altaine]

Hey, guys.

I've been working on trying to get back onto CotH for roughly one to two months now, and to be short and sweet I've looked through various forum posts and nothing seems to really help me. Like the forum title says, every time I try to launch the CotH file (with correct realmlist/patchlist) I get an error that looks something like:

==============================================================================
World of WarCraft: Retail Build (build 15595)

Exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\Conquest of the Horde\Wow.exe
Time: Jul 12, 2013 6:19:01.795 PM
User: Allyson
Computer: ALLYS-LAPTOP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #134 (0x85100086) Fatal condition!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Conquest of the Horde\Wow.exe
ProcessID: 1408

Failed to open required archive Data/wow-update-base-15211.MPQ with error : 5

Streaming Status: Data Rdy

Wow.mfil download error: Error downloading patch data from server 'http://logon.conquestofthehorde.com' , error code : timedOut
Manifest is valid.

And the rest is coding gibberish. I'm no expert at everything computer and technicalities, but I know how to get onto a private server. I tried the SkyFire patcher and like the forum 'A Scarring Problem' his WoW was unable to actually find the folders within my CotH.
(Loading Wow.exe into memory...

Could not load Win 'Wow.exe' or Mac 'World of Warcraft' into memory. Make sure this program is in your WoW directory and that WoW is closed.)
My friend Nighthaunter is also having these similar problems. Can anyone help us?

If you've been trying to no avail for a couple of months, try reinstalling.

If deleting your cache didn't do it it's likely a corruption, I think.

Don't take my word for it but...

Failed to open required archive Data / wow- update -
base- 15211 . MPQ with error : 5

makes it sound like a patch issue. But that shouldnt be causing a crash.

Are you using the wow client torrent Kretol has posted up on the forums somewhere? Or is this something else?

[Altaine]

I've already tried reinstalling twice. It didn't work.

I'm using the one that Kretol has posted on the front, and the downloads forum.

Tried unstucking your character(s)? Or running Repair?

If those don't/haven't worked contact Kretol to see if he can delete and remake your in game account. You'll lose your characters inventories, but you can remake them!

[Altaine]

Er.. I can't get into the server, so I can't unstuck them. As for running repair that'd just make the battle.net kick and and it'll start patching.

[Ben]

It's never done that for me. The game only patches when the launcher runs, and you can unstuck your characters from the website. However if you can't get on to the server at all I'm not sure what to do.

The best advice I can give you is:
1) Delete the current CotH you have.
2) Download bitTorrent @ http://www.bittorrent.com/
3) Download one of two files @ http://www.conquestofthehorde.com/Thread...3-4a-15595
4) Follow this handy guide here: http://www.conquestofthehorde.com/Thread...ide-for-PC

Hope it helps!

Evaszions help is all pretty much perfect. I would suggest http://deluge-torrent.org/ instead of bitTorrent though, but that is personal preference.

[Altaine]

I'll go ahead and try this, thanks!

[Kretol]

uTorrent is teh rulest!
If none of the above helps, try deleting the file it claims to not be able to open.

[Altaine]

Hm, so I downloaded it again and discovered something.

The same error box comes up, but I read through it and noticed:

The application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR#134 Fatal Condition!

Program: C\Users\Theodore\Downloads\Conquest of the Horde\WoW.exe
ProcessID:6228

Failed to download WoW.mfil

Press OK to terminate application

So, I do this. But then thereafterwards I try again after deleting said file:

(same gibberish above)

Failed to open archive Data\world2.MPQ with error 5

Streaming Status: Data RDY

I also noticed from the guide for PCs, I'm using a different torrenting system and file. My WoW torrent is 14.5GBs big, while theirs is 11.5GBs. I use uTorrent and I think I'm doing something wrong in the torrenting process. And on top of that, this file has a bunch of files already added and it's set to a different Private Server (monster.wow) I'm not very big on .rars but do you think I should try it or is there another download link to help me with this?

It worked! Thank you -soooo- much!
(P.S., it seems that the 4 part is better than altogether.)
