Update your client (if you don't have 7.2.5 but a different one, like 7.1.5)

If you already have 7.1.5 (or any other version) all you need to do is download our launcher from below (check the WoW Freakz launcher section) into your wow folder and start launcher_freakz.exe to begin the update process. Don't worry if nothing happens, initial start will probably take 5-30 minutes (depending on your internet speed) until critical game data is updated. Don't open it multiple times, open it once and wait until it starts. At first you will probably have long loading screens because the client continues to download the 7.2.5 update in background, you will see a lot of "Downloading game data" while playing.
There's a chance your old interface files (addons/etc) might cause ingame interface/LUA errors. If you have a lot of them we recommend exiting the game, delete the Interface folder then redownload our launcher and extract all the files again
If you're getting Access is denied when trying to open the launcher this means your antivirus is blocking the launcher. You need to either disable your antivirus (including Windows Defender) or add launcher to antivirus allowed / exceptions list. Don't worry, there is no virus

Downloading full client (if you don't have any version)

Best way: using a torrent to get full client (use uTorrent for higher download speeds)

WARNING: After torrent download is done, be sure to remove READ ONLY from the Data folder, otherwise your game will crash at start.
Second way: download while you play
Spoiler:
(recommended for slow internet connections, not recommended if you don't want to experience poor video quality/long loading screens)
All you have to do is download the launcher from below (check the WoW Freakz launcher section) into a new folder then open launcher_freakz.exe. It will start downloading in the background without showing anything. Once it downloaded enough data (roughly 80MB) it will launch the game and you will be able to login, however the loading screens will be longer and video quality lower because the client will continue to download data in the background

WARNING! The download while play client may cause you a lot of problems (slow maps loading, long loading screens, 30-60 minutes initial wow opening time [you will open launcher_freakz.exe and nothing happens for 30-60 minutes until it downloads important data], etc), so use this only if you really can't download full client

One solution to the long loading screens is to add this line in your WTF\Config.wtf file

Code:

SET worldPreloadNonCritical "0"

Mac / Linux client

WoW Freakz launcher

you have to open launcher_freakz.exe, not wow.exe

For version 7.2.5 24742 - download (last updated: 07-02-2019 13:58)

I already have wow client 7.2.5 / 7.3.5, what do I do?

In most of the cases it's enough to download our launcher in your 7.2.5 / 7.3.5 client and once you open the launcher it will automatically downgrade your wow version to our exact version, 7.2.5 24742

  Press your windows key on the keyboard and search xbox. Open the xbox application and go through the initial setup if you haven't opened it before, takes less than 5 minutes. Then once in the main app click the SETTINGS gear. At the top it says General / Game DVR / Xbox One / Network / etc. Click on Game DVR and turn off Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR
  
  This is the windows key:
  
  This is how the setting should look like:
  
  If you also see an option Show Game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified, uncheck it
- Solution #2 (Only for Windows 8 / Windows 10, but you can try on older versions too)
  Spoiler:
  Right click on Wow.exe => Properties => Compatibility
  
  Then set Compatibility Mode to Windows 7
  
  Now do the same for Wow-64.exe
- Solution #3
  Spoiler:
  If you manage to get ingame but you get this error while playing:
  
  Then try to change WoW settings: System => Advanced => Graphics API to DirectX 9
- Solution #4
  Spoiler:
  
  This usually means your operating system doesn't support 64 bits application (or there is something wrong with your configuration). You can try deleting Wow-64.exe and launcher_freakz-64.exe (and maybe even launcher_freakz-64.dll) and start the game using launcher_freakz.exe. It might also mean you are using an old launcher, redownload it above
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

The CAS system was unable to initialize / failed to create storage component / shared memory file data/data/shmem / E_STORAGE_INIT
Spoiler:

You need to remove the READ ONLY attribute from the Data folder
The CAS system was unable to initialize / failed fetching the CDN configuration file / E_NOT_AVAILABLE
Spoiler:

Try deleting the config folder from the Data folder and extract the config folder from this archive (if that one doesn't work, also try this archive too)
The CAS system was unable to initialize: WOWDOWNLOAD_FORBIDDEN / WOWDOWNLOAD_GOT_NOTHING
Spoiler:

This is most likely do to PROXY settings on your computer. Go to Control Panel, search for proxy and click on it

Now go to the Connections tab and click on Settings

Now make sure Use a proxy server IS DISABLED
Your World of Warcraft installation is damaged

  Spoiler:
  Try deleting the config folder from the Data folder and extract the config folder from this archive (if that one doesn't work, also try this archive too)
- Solution #3
  Spoiler:
  This is valid only if you have the battle.net retail application (if not, try to install it)
  
  Open the battle.net app and try a "Scan and Repair"
  
  If this doesn't help, go to "Game Settings"
  
  then "Game Install/Update", add your wow folder there then "Scan for Games"
  
  then run step 1 again "Scan and Repair" from the main menu
- Solution #4
  Spoiler:
  If you don't already have it, download Battle.net retail app, open it then install World of Warcraft retail version.
  
  After the game is installed, place the wow freakz launcher there (as already explained in this guide), remove read only from data folder (as already explained in this guide) and start the game.
  
  Warning! Blizzard might update their wow version too much and this method may stop working anytime
http://eu.patch.battle.net:1119/wow/cdns / http://cdn-wow.freakz.ro/version/USwow/23420 - WoW not able to connect to the network data source
Spoiler:
This can happen for many reasons, mostly related to your internet connection. First, try downloading this file http://eu.patch.battle.net:1119/wow/cdns, does it work? Most likely not, but do you get any useful error in your browser? If not:
- You are behind a router and your ports are blocked. Easiest way do avoid this is set your computer as a DMZ zone (demilitarized zone). How to do this depends on your router, google enable DMZ YOUR_ROUTER_NAME. If you can't do that but you know how to unblock ports, check the next step
- If you are in a public network with ports blocked and no access to the router you will have to contact your network administrator and tell him tu unblock the following TCP ports: 1111-1119, 1129, 8001-8009, 8019, 8085, 8086
- You may have some strange DNS overrides (etc/hosts) from playing on other servers, be sure to delete them if you remember doing this
If you still can't fix it, you can also try the solution from The CAS system was unable to initialize / failed fetching the CDN configuration file / E_NOT_AVAILABLE,
the one with the config folder delete/download
There was a problem launching wow.exe, make sure this launcher is in your wow directory
Spoiler:

You probably have WoW in a folder/path with strange/non-english characters or with a too long name, try moving WoW to a clean path, like D:\Games\WoW\
"Access is denied" error when trying to open the launcher / the launcher disappears from the folder
Spoiler:

This means your antivirus is blocking the launcher. You need to either disable your antivirus (including Windows Defender) or add launcher to antivirus allowed / exceptions list. Don't worry, there is no virus
None of the above helped? Check the launcher errors / discussions section

You have been disconnected. (BLZ51914001 / BLZ51914002 / BLZ51914003)
