Fatal Errors?

[brisus]

Since WOW has patched, have any of you suffered loading issues or fatal errors?

I was alright until yesterday. I only had issues with one toon, which disabled me from playing her completely so I played my other one. Today, started goofing on that one. Map would turn black, icons would disappear, etc.... and then it would close with a fatal error.

Apparently this is an issue with many other players as well.

Just optimized

I just optimized/patched but I haven't played yet because of real life, is it even worth pre-ordering/re-subbing?

I didn't order the new expansion--this is just the newest patch, 5.0.4. Apparently a lot of people are haivng issues, so when I get home, I'm going to uninstall, redownload, and install again.

Worked fine on my hubby's computer, which only meant it screwed mine up with the patch. LOL

So far I've been lucky, but yeah, a lot of folks are having a lot of problems. I guess you've been poking around on the forums some? I doubt I can offer anything you don't already know, but in case you've been avoiding battle.net and its almost constant stream of negativity, there's a Blue post with some troubleshooting advice:

I don't know what Error 134 is, but this guy has found a fix that's working for some folks:

The other thing is that the update switched to use 64 bit client by default. I can't remember where I saw it -- Tumblr maybe -- but some folks have had success by going to the Options > Game Preferences screen in the Launcher and checking the "Launch 32-bit client" option. I've got that checked just 'cause I know the 32-bit client was working before, so you might give that a try.

Fingers crossed for you and everyone who's having trouble!

Thanks for posting this! I will give it a try later on.

P.s. I just tried the 32-bit option... and I'm good. Didn't have to go through all that. Hopefully that's the only issue!

[zillah975]

Yay!!! So glad it helped! Fingers crossed that you have no other trouble!

Well, it worked for teh day. I started playing and now I'm getting a thousand error windows. :( BAH. Oh well, I tried.
