Fix #1: Creating a Shortcut for the Freedom Client: (Due to DB changes we must now make a shortcut for the client in order to launch Freedom)
Troubleshooting Edit: Depending on your windows OS, you may have quotations. Try adding it on the outside (Ex: FreedomWoW.exe" --uid wow_enus). If that doesn't work, then try removing the quotations.
- Right click and make a shortcut of your FreedomWoW application.
- Right click the new shortcut, and select 'Properties'.
- In the "Target:" box, add -uid wow_enus to the end of it with a space like shown in the screenshot above.
- Apply, and use the shortcut to get on Freedom until a server-side fix is applied.
