[SOLVED]Can't load game, get disconnected.

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Been playing fine without any problems since the day the new Elysium server started. However, today when I wanted to relog, I got stuck at loading screen (to get into the world, I got into toon selection with no problems). I then proceeded to search for possible fixes online and read that I had to delete my WDB and WTF folders. I recall doing this in the past, so I figured it wasn't a big deal. However, now, whenever I log in, I get disconnected from server right away. I log in just fine, but before toon selection it disconnects me. Anybody else with a similar problem or a fix for this? I am desperate to get back into the game, as I plan on having a level 60 before I start the tedious life of a student again. 

Kind regards

EDIT: I also added the authenticator in between not having any problems logging in and having some, can the authenticator be a problem?

EDIT2: a TL;DR for people. Depending on what I do, I either get stuck on "Connected" or "Retrieving character list" during the login process itself. I can bypass this by replacing the WDB and WTF folders with the old ones. However, this only gets me to the loading screen, which then freezes for 2-3 minutes before it DC's me.

Hi, 

Thanks a tonne for the quick reply. It managed to get me further and I can now login to a server, however, it is now stuck at "Retrieving character list". Couldn't find a possible solution in the link you provided. Has this something to do with the deleted WDB file? Should I try and restore it?

EDIT: I restored the previous WDB and WTF folder, and managed to get my character list back. However, now I am stuck again at the loading screen, trying to get into the actual world.

Delete both those folders, wow will recreate them on its own. Run game as administrator and with compatibility settings to windows 8 if you are using windows 10. Let me know how it goes.

Hello there,

I did as you asked. However it got stuck on connect, so I went out of WoW again, into config.wtf and changed it to "SET realmName "Elysium"". However, to no prevail. I am still now stuck on "connected". Won't let me get into toon selection now.

Delete config.wtf. Go into main wow folder, open realmlist.wtf 

Copy and paste this in: set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

That is the only thing that should be on the file. Save and exit and try opening wow again

realmlist.wtf is already set to that. Deleted config.wtf, ran WoW.exe as admin, now stuck in Retrieving character list" 

EDIT: Replaced the newly created WDB folder with the old one, I get past "Retrieving character list" now, but I get stuck at loading screen again, where I get DC'ed after about 2 minutes.

I would try just waiting and seeing if it loads, it could just take a while on that screek and is being canceled and interrupted.

I am not cancelling it manually in any way, I let it do it's thing, however it only DC's me after a couple of minutes has passed. 

EDIT: I even deleted everything related to it and downloaded the torrent again, to get "fresh" files, in case some got corrupted. Deleted the modified Interface folder and replaced it with the original one, in case it was a addon gone bad. I am lost for ideas.

Just reïnstall the game. I got a fibre connection, torrent is done in <5 mins, install on ssd, less than 5 mins. Within 10 minutes you can have a complete reset! Even faster if you got the installer already.

Pretty much this. Used Revo Uninstaller to completely remove any reg keys or leftovers that might have been left behind. Though I could swear thats how I did it the first time too, though I guess this time, second time is the charm...
