Re: WoW PTR Isnt launching

Yes, I am in the process of working on new issues with several games, including WoW PTR.

I can't give a reliable eta for this type of issue, because it usually involves a lot of digging for the actual cause of the problem. Once the actual cause is found, the ETA is usually a matter of minutes (usually short enough that by the time you know about the ETA, the fix is already available). Sometimes solving an issue only opens the door to the next issue, which is what happened here. I can't really give much else other than it is being worked on and I'll post here when I have something useful for you.

Re: WoW PTR Isnt launching

Lax, I spoke with a person on PTR who stated they were using IsBoxer without issue. Apparently its something to do with the Hex code on the grey box that first pops up when you load PTR. Thats all they could tell me and me being me, Idk shit about coding so im lost haha ill let you figure it out... Could you look into this part as a possible fix?

He is already actively investigating the issue. After I confirmed the issue earlier in the thread, he confirmed it, as well. It's assumed that the executable is packed differently than prior patches since Blizzard is now encrypting important game files moving forward. How anyone is successfully using ISBoxer on the PTR in its current state, at this time, is unknown since there is an actual issue that requires an update to the code.

Ahh, copy that as always thanks again for the quick reply. You and Lax are awesome and I appreciate everything you all do! I will not bother you guys anymore with this, I just figured it was something that would help since said person was using IsBoxer since changing Hex code.

Thanks again,

Re: WoW PTR Isnt launching

Still in progress. The issue is not in game itself, but in how they are now packaging it.

Well aware, thank you!

WoW 7.3 compatibility is a work in progress and will be available ASAP. I have been working basically around the clock on this for some time and expect to have it ready very soon -- with any luck, within 24 hours. Please feel free to join the ISBoxer Discord and hang out in our #World_of_Warcraft channel -- any new information will be available immediately there (in addition to posted on the forum here, etc).
