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.
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
