Download authorisation issues on MAC
Hi,

Hope to pick some of your techie brains, I know there is a recent thread about this, but that mentioned .exe files and wowtest folders and files which I dont have on my mac.

I downloaded the ptr patch from the wow website directly where I copied across my characters. It created a folder in my worldofwarcraft folder called World of Warcraft Public Test (woot ;) )

It then proceeded to download what I thought was a new launcher and patch and I can now click on a brand new shiny green icon in that folder worldofwarcraft (test on the icon), or a new launcher. I have tried both, I get the log in screen :), they get the text saying need to download a patch a some percentage then it exits wow. Then the patch downloader screen comes up, but no play, download not authorised it says :(.

Wow-0.20-enGB-download is a new icon I have in my wow public test folder now, but no go. The file it is trying to download is wow-0.2.0.enGB-patch.app

Any help, I have deleted this folder and tried to reinstall everything directly from the correct site, but no go, if theres any chance of a BLUE also adding to this, that would be ace, as the question wasnt answered in the last thread about this. It seems it is downloading a old patch, but I have downloaded it from this website, twice.

Cheers :)

Re: Download authorisation issues on MAC

Q u o t e:
Can a blue please comment as I found the comment on the other authorisation post ambiguous and couldnt really understand it.
It was just that I used an old patch file of the same name, instead of downloading the new one. So I just wanted to try and mention that in case anyone had done this as I had. I was trying to avoid waiting for a download.

At this time I don't have any information for you other than this sorry. We are monitoring this though, if we can find anything helpful to share with you, we will try to.

Q u o t e:
This appears to be a battle.net account problem on the mac. When I logon with a account that is not converted into a battle net account I get the correct 0.2.2 downloader instead of the 0.2.0 downloader with a battle net account.
Interesting news, thank you.
