Problem Launching WoW.exe

When I try launching from wow.exe I get error# 121. I did a little research and apparently that error occurs when I try launching the game unpatched via the wow.exe program. How do I patch it?

You sure you got the right WoW.exe from the connection guide download?

Oh... I see the problem. You have put .MPQs in the wrong way.



The .MPQs from archive have to be put in your WoW/Data folder.

wow-update-base-18273.MPQ and wow-update-base-18548.MPQ go into WoW/Data.

wow-update-enGB-18273.MPQ go into WoW/Data/enGB.



Also, remove wow-update-43400.MPQ (and any other starting with 434), they are meant for Cataclysm only.

I moved the wow-update-base(s) to my /Wow/Data, removed the 43400.MPQ, I also checked my WoW/Data/enGB and enGB-18273.MPQ is there at the bottom.



With all that, I still get the same error. [url="http://gyazo.com/d2f46778c6251a968234e9f219ce38f3"><s></s>http://gyazo.com/d2f46778c6251a968234e9f219ce38f3



Do you want to take a look at any specific folders? From the research I did, It explained that this error occurs when "you're launching the game unpatched via the wow.exe program..."[/quote]

I guess another look at WoW/Data/ and WoW/Data/enGB wouldn't hurt. Also, the WoW.exe from the archive is patched version.

My /WoW/Data/enGB:

My /WoW/Data/ links are at the top.



I've replaced the wow.exe from the archive zip many times to no avail.

Another weird thing I've noticed is that you have some additional, older .MPQs in. Remove all wow-update-base-15XXX.MPQs in WoW/Data and remove all wow-update-enGB-15XXX.MPQs in WoW/Data/enGB, then try to launch it again.



MoP's .MPQs start from 16XXX, so those foreign .MPQs might be interfering with the game.

Ahhhh shit, man! You're a life saver, Azeroc! Works perfectly fine now! Really appreciate it!

Glad to be of help! The troubleshooting we did will certainly help me fix other people clients quicker.
