You missed the start of that sentence: There is not a simple workaround to e.g. "just use wow.exe instead of wow-64.exe". But, the fix is coming!

Re: World of Warcraft 7.3.0 Compatibility

I totally understand, I did exactly the same thing.. stuffed around for some time trying to work out how to do it then come back and read the OP again more carefully. Was easy to miss the not part :)... Join us in the candle light vigil waiting :D

In the meantime I'm joining in on the puzzle solving for the Lucid NightMare mount.

Re: World of Warcraft 7.3.0 Compatibility

Well I just woke up, but I will share here what I said last night on the dual-boxing.com thread before I went to bed.

I am working basically around the clock on this, it is a complicated thing.

I feel like I am super close because I've completed the rewrite of my library, and am a ways into making the game properly load. I only slept 2.5 hours last night because I was aiming to have it out earlier today. At this point my main concern is to find a comfortable spot to lay down.

What they've done is "packed" the exe, which essentially means it has its own loader built into wow.exe (or wow-64.exe, etc) that runs before the actual game code. Well that's how Inner Space works in the first place, with a loader that runs in the process before the actual game runs (so the game links up with Inner Space). So I have to ensure that their loader is compatible with mine, and I kind of have to take it as it comes and cannot easily predict the next barrier.

My apologies on missing my ETAs thus far. I am pretty sure it's almost done at this point, and I feel like I can get it out after some sleep and another several hours of work on it. Once I've confirmed my loader is properly handling the game I will be able to provide a solid ETA on an update (at that point I believe it should be under 3 hours to get IS hooked up with the new version, and a development build available). Until that point though it's much harder to say.

Thanks Lax for the update. Get some sleep and go back at it with a fresh brain. I'm sure it doesn't help being tired and doing this.

Re: World of Warcraft 7.3.0 Compatibility

I would like to echo the posts I seen today. For me the great work at ISBoxer has made such a difference playing WOW. It's now kind of hard to play single player. Best of luck on the 7.3 update.
