Patch 3.1.1a 29 April and add-on choices

[Moon Touched] Posted Apr 30, 2009 0 Comments

Spent 11 hours yesterday (whilst doing other things like baking cherry and vanilla cookies and catching up on housework) fixing WoW on the Vista box. XP downloaded and installed fine, but the patch got corrupted on the (manual) download to vista and I had to roll-back the files to 3.0.1 ...This after an hour updating Windows, office, manual additional virus update, firefox (twice, as later in the day they issued a hot fixed to a re-introduced error) and noscript. Support website not much use. Could not even find the Basesignature message on search, though I did locate it later through reading the patch issue pages. Even then, their suggestion that it was due to a system restore was not applicable in my case. The WoW Europe forums showed this had also occurred in 2007 and 2008, and that led me to the patch issue page that suggested deleting the patch files in the /data sub-directory and re-installing the patches. Not knowing which one was corrupt, I redownloaded and re-installed every one...
