Items continuing to be wrong.

I am having the problem where the items appear to me with much greater stats than what the current patch should be at. I have uninstalled / reinstalled, deleted my WTF + WDB folders, and still no luck. I am out of ideas, and would love to please have some help with this subject if anyone does in fact have any! Again thank you.

Let's see if any of the solutions I've posted help you before breaking it down further.

(Linux): How are you playing without root privileges?

If you can't find it, try searching your user folder. The folder structure may differ between different versions of Windows.

You could just do
Start => Run => C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic
Windows Explorer will open to that directory.

This should be the same for Vista and above as Windows 95 and XP didn't have C:\Users IIRC.


For the second quote, try deleting the WDB folder in that directory if you cannot run WoW.exe as an admin. Your UI will reset, but don't worry. Copy the WTF folder from C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic to C:\Program File (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\ and you should have all your settings, UI adjustments, etc.

If you run WoW as admin after copying the WTF folder from the VirtualStore directory, WoW may rewrite it the WTF folder to the default settings so I suggest running WoW as administrator, logging into a character, exit the game, and copy the VirtualStore WTF folder over to your C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\ directory.

Let me know if any of this helps.

Thank you for the response.

I could run my game as an administrator and it would replace the WBD + WTF folder, and when running the game as an administrator the items were correct! However when I log out and try to log back in without being an administrator it goes back to not being correct..

Alright I have a fix for you on this one since you are able to run the program as an administrator.
