Access to the path ...

Post by Cleever »

Hi there.

When I click play on the launcher, I get "wow-mania.exe could not be started" and "access to the path" followed by what looks like the path to my realmlist file, but the message is truncated and if there is an error message, I don't get to see it. To start the game, I have to execute wow-mania.exe by hand, and sometimes the game doesn't like this and throws me out. Verify files works OK and I have tried the clear cache button but hit this wall almost every time.

This sounds like a permissions issue with your realmlist.wtf file. I’d check that first, since Verify Files and clearing the cache wouldn’t necessarily fix it.

I just figured out how to fix my issue! I went to the properties of the WTF file and unchecked "READ ONLY".
Hope this helps!
