When I try to launch through VanillaFixes directly I get - "WoW.exe - bad image" due to VanillaHelpers, "either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error Status 0x0000020 " and another separate error box from VanillaFixes saying - "DLL entry point returned an error (259) Make sure you have a compatible game client (1.6.1-1.12.1)"

FINALLY GOT EVERYTHING WORKING!! Disabling "no1600x1200" removed those errors in my previous reply above, but then I started having a different crash when I loaded into the game, the error 132 that many people are also having. The culprit - "Updated Raid Visuals", patch O in the launcher. Without it, I don't have have error 132. Everything is normal, no weird portraits, no crashes, and using the same mod list as before with all the reforged modules. Drove me crazy until I figured out the reason it crashed with error 132 was the patch o from the launcher! Hope this helps devs!

Further testing, and if you simply rename patch C from reforged into patch Z, you can keep both the updated raids visuals patch O from launcher and all reforged modules.

Was already using launcher. Performed full update through launcher.
Nothing failed, nothing broke. Worked perfectly the first time.

I was running into some interface issues today that you guys ironed out pretty quickly. The client looks fantastic. The graphics are much sharper and detailed. kudos to the dev team. great job and thanks for the hard work!

After the update of today, I had no relevant issue at first so I let it go and started playing later.

when I started playing for real, I discovered that I have 15%~30% FPS drop rate compare to before when we had the Patch-A rather than Patch-5. There is no specific region, it's global.

I use :

- AuctionQueryThrottle.dll
- ClassicAPI.dll
- nampower.dll
- perf_boost.dll
- SuperWoWhook.dll
- transmogfix.dll
- UnitXP_SP3.dll
- VanillaHelpers.dll
- weirdperformance.dll

- Patch-A~G - Faithful Upscale World Textures ( previously named as Patch-B~H)
- Patch-I~J - Faithful Upscale Character & Gear Textures 1.18.0
- Patch-K - Faithful Upscale Character & Gear Textures 1.18.1 added
- Patch-O - Octowow Raid visual
- Patch-R - Reforged HD Shaman/Druid forms
- Patch-T - Reforged HD In game interface only custom patch
- Patch-U - Reforged HD Maps & Loading Screens
- Patch-V - Reforged HD Sounds & Music
- Patch-W - Shadows Texture fixed
- Patch-Y - Turtle WoW HD Epoch water
- Patch-Z - Turtle WoW HD Fog pushback

Damn shame that 6k monster didn't get you any comprehension of basic computing knowledge or common sense, ain't it. Lol. lmao, even.

Working fine here. Running on Arch Linux.

Downloaded client from torrent, checked mpqs, deleted some from my install (my *custom* mpqs are symlinked from outside the client directory anyway), backed up WoW.exe, copied some select stuff over from updated client folder. Bob's your uncle, Fannie's your aunt, your mum's your dad. Done.

Seems some people shouldn't be messing with game files if they don't know what they're doing - even if it's a 6K PC.

Cheers devs!

Got it all working great. Thanks team.

The graphical stutter ever 1-2 seconds that is constantly happening since the update kinda sucks but guess just have to get used to it. Tried tons of different options with no success.

EDIT. Turning off the "use more than 2gb memory" option fixed the stutter I was experiencing.

So ayone knows how do I delete this enforced VanillaFixes from my game folder?

but why only 25? why not 30 or even 40?
