How to Fix 90% of issues
Update check failed: Cannot parse update info from latest.yml: Reinstall Launcher from website
Cant Access website: Use VPN
Error: aria2c exited with code 18: Permissions issue, launch with administrator
AntiVirus popup: Add exemption to octowow folder in Windows Defender
Can’t connect to server: Change reamlist.wtf to be play.octowow.st instead of octowow.st
Launcher keeps reverting realmlist when changed: Launch directly through wow.exe

Also make sure to run in cmd prompt: ipconfig /flushdns it might help.

tried everything, however i am getting more and more frequent Error: aria2c exited with code 18: Permissions issue. i disabled all the different mods, run as administrator, and if i get 5 minutes of play before the error i consider myself lucky. is there ant other things not listed that fix this issue?

Hi, I can't access the game, it crashes after launch with launcher or WoW.exe. I have already tried the suggested solutions from the start of the thread, none of them worked. Downloaded and reinstalled Launcher couple of times too, added files as exceptions... As soon as I click "Play" nothing happens and log shows that game crashed. There is no error mesage
