"You have been disconnected. (BLZ51901021)" when trying to log in

[battalinbabasi]

I had another client so I just downloaded the launcher from the website and connected last night to customize some characters and quickly logged off.
Today I tried logging in but got this message instead: "You have been disconnected. (BLZ51901021)". I thought something went wrong with the old client so I deleted it and downloaded the Method 2: "Download while playing" hoping that would solve the issue. Downloaded the needed files and WoW started by itself when it was done but still got the same message.
Windows Defender did not block anything, I have unchecked "Read only" and also I am launching from launcher_freakz.exe.

I really don't wanna lose the 1 week limited time level 50 boost for a single character. Please help out!

Do you already have addons running?

We had to force disconnect everyone to fix the delay issue. Please wait until everything is back to normal. Thanks!

I did have addons when I tried logging in with a different client and freakz launcher, and I did log in and play for a few minutes last night. Today I did all the above to no avail

So this means at your last try you didn't had any addons on?

Yes, at my latest try I downloaded the "Play while downloading", after a while wow launched by itself, clean install no addons what so ever.

Do you use the launcher?
Do you run the launcher as admin?

First time I tried I was successful by using other client and wowfreakz launcher, then last night it didn't work, so I deleted the whole wow folder and downloaded the "Play while downloading" from wowfreakz and same thing happened with same error message. I tried with run as admin, uncheck read only etc but same thing. I really hope I can login to make use of the level 50 boost

I downloaded the "play while downloading" client, ran it, after some time it launched wow by itself. That's where I am right now. I can't log in

I got some help from discord from some of the mods and they told me to use PROTON VPN free version and it actually worked! Wondering if I have to use VPN every time to log in now

[Tadashi]

Haha it was me that helped you on discord, I also gave you some advice

Ok LOL that's funny. Thanks again man! Do you know of a way to connect without using VPN?

[Tadashi]

I recommend to reset your internet connection > flush dns

Hello battalinbabasi,

Open your config.wtf and add this to the last line:

Code:

SET disableAutoRealmSelect "1"

You can find the config file in "Your WoW folder > WTF > Config".

This will allow you to see the realm selection screen upon your next log in, you should then use the Proxy realm to connect.

Best regards,
Skye

Whenever I change the Config with SET disableAutoRealmSelect "1" and save it. My game starts up without asking for realm selection. I get the same disconnected error. When I go back to the config file, the line is gone again.

Halppp

With all due respect, I am now convinced that GM's do not know how to solve this problem I've had since launch of Shadowlands.

I give up.

hi battalinbabasi,

1-Reset your user interface to make sure your files and addons are not corrupted: Completely exit World of Warcraft , Uninstall any addon managers to make sure they don't re-add your removed addons ,delete Cache, Interface, and WTF folders . login into WoW Freakz to see if the changes can take effect.
2-Disable any security programs, which may mistakenly identify the login module as a security threat.
3-Configure firewall and proxy settings for WoW Freakz and (reset the router to fix configuration errors and Update your router firmware to ensure that your router has the latest bug fixes also updates your windows system if not already did). Restart your computer.
