Not able to run Launcher

Post by CAMPAFRANCO » Fri Aug 18, 2023 7:37 am

Hi, I'm new to Linux, and followed the guide for setting up Wow and Launcher in Linux-Mint 21.2. Using same client that i'm played until some days ago on Win, i'm able to start Wow, logging and play, but only using Wow.exe. Despite many attempts, Launcher.exe simply doesn't start.
The question is: Can i stil play, using wow.exe, without fear of being banned?
Thanks in advance for answers.

[EDIT]
Nvm, problem solved.
Downgraded linux version from Linux Mint 21 to Linux Mint 20, followed again the guide, and all is working like a charm, launcher included, after deleting mpeg file in resources.

Launcher issues that don't run properly can be frustrating.among usChecking for compatibility issues or making sure all necessary dependencies are installed can help resolve the issue.

Good to hear you got it working. For future reference: yes, running via Wow.exe usually works fine and doesn’t trigger bans, as long as you’re not modifying the client or violating ToS. That said, always safer to use the launcher if it works, since it handles updates and integrity checks.
