OctoWow - Forums

Anyone else experiencing missing frames/graphics/structures and being stuck mid air after the last updates?

Happened with the Moonwhisper Coast Patch and now today again after the update from the launcher.

Cba having to fully reinstall the game on every update. Did not have those issues on twow.

Running the game with modernwow / vanilla fixes etc. - same stuff as on twow.

Already reinstalled the latest .mpq file updates, cleared WDB and .caches in WTF ...



Someone got an idea what it could be or is experiencing the same issues? Seen a few people mention it in the community discord, but no one with a proper solution besides full reinstall, which I am not inclined to do after every patch.

After trying for a while, a fix for now was to do the following:
1. Close the game completly
2. Delete caches: WDB, WTF -> Account -> Character -> .cache in the character folders
3. Delete the latest .mpq patch: Data -> Sort files by date edited -> Delete latest .mpq patch
4. Right click Octowow Directory and remove "Read-only" -> Select also apply to subfolders etc.
5. Start OctoLauncher as Admin and update the directory again

Most likely the launcher either updates the .mpq file corrupted and/or was not able to update it due to a folder setting.
