It's just a small patch for a tools update.

In the mean time, you can launch WoW directly from your World of Warcraft folder.

Should be located somewhere in your program files (x86)[for newer computers]. Youll scroll down until you see World of Warcraft, from there you should see World of Warcraft Launcher, and then just WoW. If you double click wow, it should start right up.

Good luck (:


Thank you! I'll try this when I get home!

Much appreciated.

No comment on how it broke a lot of peoples launcher?


I wouldn't be the one to comment on that necessarily. It's better to hop into the Tech support forums for any information that they may have for those having issues.

It was an update to the launcher bringing the repair tool back in. It was flagged to do an auto check and repair of your game files.

@Nethaera the coffee bird tried to post on this last night but the website was giving him issues :(


Yeah, unfortunately so. It was just bad timing causing him an issue in letting people know at the time. :/
