Game developers have their own concept of releasing games: initially, a basic version of the game is created and published, and then, in the process of using it by gamers, various patches are created. If you have installed a patch for the game World of Warcraft and do not know how to return the previous version (the expansion did not suit you), use the advice below.
Necessary
World of Warcraft game installed on your computer
Instructions
Step 1
When installing the patch, most of the files inside the game folder are replaced with copies. By default, many games create directories that contain source files. Of course, you can try to simply install again from the original disk, but this creates a chance to lose the performance of the saved records.
Step 2
To restore the files you need, you need to use the special Repair program, which is included in the distribution kit of any Blizzard product. But for its correct operation, it is necessary to prepare absolutely all the game files. Copy them from the C: Program FilesWorld of Warcraft folder to any other directory (this is done just in case, for recovery).
Step 3
Go back to the original directory with the game, select all folders except the Data directory. Please note that you need to delete folders, and files below the directories do not need to be touched.
Step 4
After that, open the Data folder and delete 2 files from it: patch. MPQ and patch-2. MPQ. These files are nothing more than a recently installed patch. Then open the realmist.wtf file (located in the C: Program FilesWorld of WarcraftData folder
uru) with any text editor and clean up its contents. Enter the following sentence: set realmlist eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com. Remember to save the file on close by clicking Yes in the dialog that appears.
Step 5
Find and double-click the Repair.exe file in the main game folder. When Cannot connect to the server to appears, run the file again. In the Blizzard Repair window that opens, check the boxes next to the existing 3 checkboxes and click the Reset and Check files button. After the Blizzard Repair has successfully repaired World of Warcraft message appears, close the utility window.
Step 6
Now start the game and check its version. If desired, you can install another version over this version.
