WOW wont accept password when running 32bit???

Hi guys.

searched the forums but cant seem to find my problem...

Ive renamed my wow.64 to wow.6400 and when i load up wow it shows its running in x86 mode. but when i enter my password to play it gives me a wow error#144 but if i run in 64bit it works fine logs in no probs.. anyone have any ideas.. ive tried running the wow launcer and the wow exe but can only play in 64bit and this is no good for HB

any help would be much appreciated, as ive tried all day to resolve this but to no avail.


Cheers guys in advance
Screenshot attached if this helps

 

they are doing some server restarts right now or they just finished. are you sure your server is up?

 

hey Yaj

yeah defo up as if i change back to 64bit logs in fine no probs... seems strange i can usually sort things without asking but this has me stumped

 

perhaps you had used a "battle.net" blocker or some restrictions within your windows firewall?
You can block wow32 and wow64 seperate and with a blocked battle.net service you can't login (but play after login)

 

Run the game in Administrator Mode to address many installation, patching, networking, and start-up errors.
If the issue persists, delete the Battle.net Cache folder and attempt to run the game again.

 

Are you sure you dont block wow.exe with firewall?

 

hi guys... ill go give them a try and get back in 5 mins..

 

I tried this the way alxaw explained it, works fine for me.

ok ive tried all the above to no avail... i have even disabled my firewall totally and still the same. if i rename wow.64 back to its original name then game runs fine with no probs, soo as i change it to wow.6499 or anything game wont accept password just does the error #144 crap

 

Have you tried running the launcher and under game preferences telling it to run 32bit?

 

yeah done that as well olwe.. just dont understand why it will play with no probs in 64 but not 32 its drivin me nuts

botanist how do you do the force 32 bit with shell. ive downloaded it but dont see the option Right click on WoW.exe and click on Pick Link Source

 

How I did it was to download PQR and there is a button on there to disable wow64.

 

Yup downloaded PQR and disabled 64 bit and still same issue.. wont let me log into game in 32 mode

 

That is really strange. I am out of ideas. Sorry

 

Hi again.

Thanks all for your help with this, but have fixed the issue, i didnt realise i had an extra bit of virus software running incognito along side bitdefender... found it disabled it and now works fine... sorry to have wasted some ya time but hey we cant play at the moment anyways

Thanks again all much appreciated
