Elysium config script - setup new install & fix connection issues.

[Fulzamoth 5]

Here's a script for setting up a new Vanilla WoW install or fixing connection issues.

https://github.com/fulzamoth/Elysium-WoW-cfg/releases

Mac users should see the Elysium config script [Mac] post instead.

What does it do?

The script does the following:

• Validates your WoW.exe is the right version (MD5 hash check)
• Writes a new realmlist.wtf
• Update WTF\config.wtf
• Clears any existing cache files
• Turn off compatibility mode (causes disconnects)
• Removes unnecessary EXE files (Optional)
• Creates a shortcut to the game on your desktop (Optional)
• Checks the MD5 hashes of game data files (Optional)

How do I use it?

1. Download the ZIP file from the repository Releases page (link at top of post).
2. Extract the ZIP file.
3. Copy the extracted  Elysium-WoW-cfg.cmd file to your Vanilla World of Warcraft directory.
4. In your World of Warcraft directory, double click Elysium-WoW-cfg.cmd to run the script.

The script will prompt you:

• for which realm you want configured
• whether you want unnecessary executables disabled (to avoid firing up retail only EXEs by accident)
• to setup a shortcut to Elysium Project WoW on your desktop
• whether to run MD5 hash checks

NOTE: The script may be sandboxed by some AV/Firewall applications, in which case changes made will be lost. If this is the case on your machine open a command prompt (shift--right-click on your WoW folder in Explorer, and select Open command window here), and run Elysium-WoW-cfg.cmd from the command line.

• Attempts to remove compatibility mode if it's been turned on. We've had reports of that causing disconnects.
• Cleaned up the display and provide an overview of what's going to be done.
• Better explanations at prompts.

I don't understand what you mean by "didn't see any script." The ZIP of the cmd script is on the page linked at the top of the post. What "alternate" did you try?

For what it's worth, here's a direct link to the current version:

    https://github.com/fulzamoth/Elysium-WoW-cfg/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta01/Elysium-WoW-cfg-Windows.v1.0.0-beta01.zip

After downloading, the instructions above work (or at least they have for anyone using it thus far).

Nice work! Hope this helps people.

I myself am paranoid and don't dare to download this in case of malicious code.

Nice work!

On windows 10 you may need to:

-Open command prompt as administrator

-change directory to your wow install folder

-run he script from here

Thanks all, I finally was able to come back to this and managed to figure it out. The script wasn't running originally for me and I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but I got it to work.
