Application Doesn't Launch

[Thaboranoc]

I've tried downloading the game multiple times with all three options, but every time, I end up with a file that's around 4,800 KB that will not open. I've checked my firewall, I've checked my quarantine, I've checked many posts on this forumn, but I can't seem to find an answer as to why the game itself doesn't launch. Has anyone experienced something similar and (hopefully) resolved this issue?

Ive just downloaded the client today 25th, via the Launcher and cant log in.

Yesterday i was getting constant Lua error pop ups in game.

Will try again later.

Does not launch for me either. If I go off and run the Vanilllafixes.exe , that will run and complain about vulkan. I never remember having any issues like this with turtlewow running on steam, using proton. I remember their client 'just ran' with the proton and I didn't really have to do anything special. -- I'm using proton 9.0.4 at the moment, I'll go try a few nearby versions for kicks, but I suspect there is something 'not right' with the WoW.exe 4,812 KB (from a couple days ago), and I'm downloading the newest one right now, and will repeat the steps. --- I had tried running the launcher, but then it complains about about symlink, regardless of what location I try to have the install performed

After updating to Proton 11.2, I was able to run the launcher, and it downloaded the application. It downloaded the same one I had earlier today. Neither of these will start the WoW.exe executable. There are no Logs other than
cpu.log --- gx.log has zero size
