First day, first problem

So I tried to log in and every time I try this happens and I dont know what to do.

Where is your WoW located (full folder path)?



Try deleting caches (WoW/Cache and WoW/Data/Cache) then try again.



Can you paste contents of WoW/Logs/connection.log?



If all fails, how does your WoW/Data folder looks like?



That error is generally something to do with .MPQs not working properly.

So the caches seem to do nothing once deleted. This above is the log and as for the Data folder I will put a Screenshot here.

This is the Data Folder:

I am admittedly not the most tech savvy, but comparing your data folder to my own, you seem to be missing "expansion2.mpq" and "expansion3.mpq". I am unsure if that is the reason for the error so take this message with a grain of salt, but you could try adding them in and see if it solves anything? (The 43401.mpq is a darker nights + blue eye patch, since I play a high elf in-game. It isn't required. :T)

I've tried uploading them myself but since they take ten hours each, I don't think that'll be an option. Perhaps you can download those specific files over the torrent that was in the .rar? In uTorrent you can delete the torrent file from the list, then re-add it by double-clicking the torrent file in the .rar package, at which point a window pops up with all the files listed. Deselect everything but the "expansion2.mpq" and "expansion3.mpq" files and it'll just download those two. :T

EDIT: Looks like Vanora summed it up. I would still recommend full, clean redownload of our client, rather than pick those two missing .MPQs but you can try her way as it might be faster.



You are missing:

• expansion2.MPQ
  
  
• expansion3.MPQ
  
  

Considering you have base-Win.MPQ, you likely are using a different client.



You will need to download our client to get on the server:

• 1. Download WoW Freedom client package:
  
  [url="http://www.mediafire.com/download/7d64wzb1ka71zn8/WoWFreedom434Package.rar"><s></s>link ([url="https://mega.co.nz/#!W9pSzK4b!n5aF_ARjKuNpi4hJDsdqm8dkvkWZb4daGZ7nnM6eidg"><s></s>alternative).
  
  
• 2. Execute .torrent file found in the downloaded zip to start the torrent. You can skip downloading "World of Warcraft.app" and "Background Downloader.app".
  
  
• 3. Don't worry that it is a Mac client, you just need to put in WoW.exe supplied in the .zip in the downloaded client and it becomes Window client (put WoW.exe from the archive in your WoW/ folder.
  
  

Eep. Seems we both posted at the same time. I'd side with Azeroc's advice just to be sure, I've spoilered mine for now! In the end it is your call I suppose. ^^

Okay I am gonna try reidownloading it completely thank you both <E></E>

I remember having a similar problem. It is most likely due to that you are using the patch 43400. Until WoW 4.3.4 is fully downloaded, it should always show that error when a custom patch is installed. And, WoW 4.3.4 is not fully downloaded when you have extracted the torrent. It still needs some extra files, but most of the setup is done.



I could be wrong, but this is how it has worked for me.
