Same issue, patch then unable to validate. Repatched now I think :)

We've resolved the issue. We apologize once again for the difficulty, and we'll see you back in game :)

If the issue is resolved, why am I still getting a download prompt and cannot log in?

I figured out the problem for me... I was trying to connect with my desktop shortcut. That gave me this error, so I opened C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft and sorted by modified date. I noticed that Launcher.exe was updated today, but Wow.exe wasn't. I double clicked Launcher.exe and had no problem... I got in game fine.

Hope this helps!

Patch does not download from Launcher, sits empty. It downloads very slowly when opening WoW.exe directly and gives an error when you try to run the update.

If you're getting a Failed to Apply Patch, Windows Vista or Windows 7 may not be permitting WoW to patch itself. Right-click on the World of Warcraft shortcut, and "Run as Administrator".

If you still can't connect, I would clear up any residual cache or connections, and power cycle the network:

1) Shut down your computer
2) Unplug the router and the modem
3) Wait for a minute, and then plug the modem back in, and let it fully power up until all of the lights are solid.
4) Plug in the router, and let it fully power up.
5) Boot up your computer, and try to log in.

The DNS cache may need to be cleared too: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/flushdns

It *does* download. Just about the same speed as my lawn grows. No idea yet if the game will be playable whenever I get done downloading whatever hotfix/hotf**k this is. Only time will tell.

But if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you

See, I downloaded and, ran the repair, tried to log in (bypassing the launcher through the WoW app as previously suggested in the thread) and it still told me I had to update. Downloaded the patch and now I can log in.

Really weird.
