download help

I downloaded the game files for the first time and I noticed that when I click on the file it says world of warcraft 1.12.1 client, however when I start downloading the file with utorrent the name switched to just 1.12. Every time I tried to launch I would get a sever error. I made sure that the realsmlist.wft file was edited correctly and I still couldn't connect to the server. 

I am currently downloading the game with a different torrent app and I noticed the file name changed again. 

Does this mean I am getting the wrong version? Is there anything else I can try if the server error continues?

Thanks In advanced!

1.12.1 is the version that we support. It should be in the folder, a patch list,  follow the instructions below when you have downloaded the file.

Make sure that you are working with a fully expanded set of files, not an archive/.rar etc

Make sure that the client you downloaded was 1.12.1. People have been known to download others.

If you are on Windows, make sure that the World of Warcraft folder is not in Programs, the desktop is fine.

If you are on a Mac, make sure that the World of Warcraft folder and its contents are not write protected (Getinfo)

Open the World of Warcraft folder - delete the WDB folder, it is cache and will rebuilt.

Open the file realmlist.wtf with a text editor (NotePad/TextEdit)

Make sure that the realmlist.wtf's CONTENTS are ONLY 

set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

There is a folder called WFT, open that, delete the file called Config.wtf if it is present.

Start WoW.exe (Windows) or WoW Classic (mac)

Enter your Username and password

Choose a realm

Usually good at this stage

Thank you for your detailed and easy to follow response. I have done everything suggested above when I type in my login info it say disconnected from the server 

***edit***

the realmlist.wft file accidentally got deleted.

You should be able to recreate that. Make a text file with Notepad or whatever. Make the contents set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org. Save it as realmlist.wtf,  right click it and check its extension is wtf, not txt.
