Mandatory addons? Connection issue
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2026 6:17 pm
Hi there, been playing here since the beginning and I'm still getting the very same issue with false positives on mods such as nampower, vanillahelper, vanillafixes and unitxp.dll
(I've been reporting this since May 6th https://octowow.st/forum/viewtopic.php?t=129 ).
Never managed to solve the issue. My antivirus won't whitelist the dlls, don't know why. I didn't know what to do but deactivate mods. I've been updating the game from the launcher, but launching the game from wow.exe. Played like that since today.
Now the game automatically downloads the mods, but this stops my client from even connecting to the server (because of firewall or something). Tried re-downloading, didn't work.
Any help? ty
