The launcher does not work to update the game on Linux now. It has some kind of symlink issue with the new torrent process. Turning off the seed option didn't work either.

In trying to fix it, I attempted to copy my octowow folder into the wine prefix (normally I keep it outside to make it easier to access) to see if it was a problem of crossing the virtual drive boundary, and accidentally must have cut-paste instead of copy-pasted it. When that did not work, I deleted the new copy, and it was too big for the trash bin.
And the launcher still doesn't work.

So I guess GG for me until either this is fixed or I find the mental energy to redownload the game, set up all my settings and addons, etc...

PS: I pasted some of the source code into an AI in the hopes that fixing it was as easy as a setting change or a wrapper script, and it seems like it would require way more technical knowledge to fix than I have, involving having to edit the source and compile it again and... yea, not my area of expertise at all.

Forgot to take your medication?

Obviously the devs are highly capable, but to make an omelette you gotta (or oughta) break a few eggs... Give them the benefit of the doubt and some time to iron out the details. Be respectful really isn't that difficult.

You wannabe good-guy... Insulting and disrespectful in the first sentence in your reply and a sentence later: "Be respectful really isn't that difficult."

Zero self awareness lmao

You´re a caricature of yourself XD
You get what you give. When you start off by lying and trying to steer people away from the server with misinformation and a rude attitude you shouldnt be shocked when people respond in kind. Theres no lack of self awareness in his comment. You behaved poorly and he called a spade a spade. The difference between those two things is that he didnt start it. You did.

It is impossible for you to have the performance you claimed with no client modifications. This isnt a hardware issue, its a software issue. I have seen plenty of people with extremely high quality rigs like yours complaining that they get horrible FPS and that is because as I mentioned previously the stock client can only utilize 2gb of RAM and a single CPU core. So you can throw all the fancy hardware you want at that problem it wont change much.

After the latest launcher version 1.3.7 deployment, things should self heal for any clients that got put in a wonky state from previous deployments (client.torrent corruption from a previous torrent update issue).

If you are still having issues and confirmed that you are using launcher version 1.3.7 please post as many technical details here. If you are having trouble pulling the 1.3.7 version of the launcher please close your launcher and re-open it so that it re-checks for a newer version.

If you are using any custom patches, or have any specific non-english language settings, that information is very important when we are debugging these issues. Thank you for all of your patience <3

Updated the launcher to 1.3.7. Hit update game, get "Error: EPERM: operation not permited, mkdir 'file location'

Now my launcher cannot find wow.exe in the folder.

Need to start from square one.
How do I make sure my characters are not deleted if I do a full re-isntall?

Your characters are not stored on your machine but on our servers there is no risk of them getting deleted ever.

That appears to be a windows permissions issue, you should run the launcher as administrator.

Try adding your octowow directory to the allowed/ignore list in Windows.

My whole directory is just messed up so blessing in disguise to have to fix it. When I first DL and install the game I put it in my D/ drive, it didnt make its own folder, just shoved everything lose. So hopefully if I get it working it will be cleaner.

Thx for helping Kestrel

Yep, can confirm that version 1.3.7 works fine
