Hello guys,
I thought maybe it'd be fun to see Vanilla WoW again, and so I decided to try out Nostalrius this time around.
What I have done:
I downloaded the game file from the Elysium Project site setup description. I changed the realm list file to read "elysium-project.org" where it should. I signed up on the Elysium website and authenticated my account.
What happens:
When I launch the game it fails to connect/start up correctly and tells me that the dbghelp.dll and DivxDecoder.dll files are not there. I noticed in the WoW file I downloaded there is a weird symbol for those two files--and a few others like "fmod.dll" and "ijl15.dll" and "Scan.dll" and "unicows.dll" that I have never seen before that looks like two blue outlined cogwheels? I understand I'm not probably supposed to be able to open these files; however, I am just not familiar with that. It seems like the file type is unreadable by my computer or something.
What I have tried:
I have reinstalled the game three times now from the same source. I'm not aware of how to get a different souce to work. There are two magnets on the page to click for a download, are they different? This is the first time I've torrented.
As a note:
I was able to download the file on a different computer and successfully get to the character creation screen last night; however, the game froze and/or crashed and then this issue occurred with the same files. I am now experiencing the same issue on a different computer.
Would appreciate help on getting to play Vanilla!
