WHERE ARE THE WOWHEAD PEOPLE WHO STARTED THIS THREAD? HEAPS OF QUESTIONS BUT NO ANSWERS!
/endrant
Wowhead is not an official support channel for WoW. I created this thread to allow the community to combine efforts into helping each other. From the amount of "that worked, thanks!" in this thread, it seems to have worked.
I also created it to cut down on the number of random threads that were littering the General Forums.

Can't even download the stupid patch :(
Run the game: Patch content required, press restart and download the patch.
-Pressed Restart: Get the stupid confirm box thingy in Vista to download it - recieve the error message "Invalid Torrent File."
Run the background dowloader: Get the message "Data for the next patch is not available."
And ofcourse, like always when I have a problem, wow-eu forums are down :<
Any ideas on how to fix it (preferably not installing again).
Same here.
For the background downloader it also said "Invalid Torrent File".
I also noticed that if I try to open with the launcher, it tells me it has to be in the same file as World of Warcraft's even though it is.
Other question: Does this patch mean the release of Death Knights and level 80? Or is that still to be released with the real WoTLK game? The only new thing I know of in this patch is new talents and graphics.
Thanks a lot Tecnobrat for creating this official thread. :]
Edit: Also wow-europe.com and its forums don't seem to be working with me.

Mine isn't so much a download problem as a display problem. before the patch everything was fine but now that I have it installed and up and running everything looks off and when I'm on my mount it looks short and fat from behind. I've checked all my video and display settings and they are all the same. Even changed a few back and forth to see if that made any difference and it hasn't. Anyone else running into that ?

Administrator needs a password.
By the way, for patching you don't really need to enter account name or password, just press any keys and press enter. :P

My main issues have been with the lag from hell, especially in Stormwind. The portals weren't working, my boats would disappear right from under you and the taxis were messed up. The portals seem to be working, but I'm afraid to try the boats! lol I'll probably try when I get home.
did anyone run any instances last night? I hope not. Also, I'm $%^&ed because they took mana tap away from Blood Elves. I'd think they would keep it since it ties in with their addiction to magic. Plus, I think the story goes that Kael'thas taught them to do it to satisfy their hunger for magic. They left arcane torment though.

New problem.
I've downloaded the 2.4.... to 3.0.... from Rapidshare. When I try to run the updater it says it cannot find WoW installed.
I'm assuming its registry issues, so I'm fiddling about in regedit - incase I can't find the problem;
What do I do now? :)
Oh and the run as administrator didn't solve my previous problem either :(
edit: Blizzard ftw, they can't even link to their own stickies/support pages correctly.
edit2: Managed to get it to work. Ran the game as administrator, then ran the updater. Seemed to have trouble locating the file because it wasn't in a public folder. Just hope .1 to .2 goes smoother.

My Updater is taking forever, it took nearly an hour to do 4%. I have the patch downloaded etc, it jsut takes forever to actually install onto my computer :(
Running:
2.4ghz Dual core AMD
2mg RAM
8600gt Nvidia
Vista SP1
All my patches are up to date etc. No addons coz I deleted them for the patch, coz they'd most likely not work anyway. And I did the "repair" from Blizz as well just to make sure hehe.
Theres the prob. you have a brick for a processor.
Seriously tho. 2 meg is not a lot. Dont u have 2Gig?
For those who like Torrents here is a fast link. took me an hour to download (and its VIRUS FREE)

Found the solution.
At least I think so, I just downloaded the patch of another site.
