WoW installation is damaged.

Thank you Lex92.

I will try that. But, my download speed is very slow, might take another week to download the WoW files again.
I will post again in a week if it works.

Hey Lex92,
It worked mann!

Copied that huge 46gb+ 'data' folder in the blizzard download directory and the app did its charm, downloaded rest of the files.
Stopped downloading as soon as the app showed it was playable, to avoid further than 7.1.5 patching.

Later, just replaced the Freakz-Launcher. Deleted 'config' folder & put in the freakz 'config'.
The game downloaded few files while I was playing. But, haven't faced any problem yet.

Thanks again.

Hello my friend, to slove this problem just delete the: "CASCRepair.mrk" from your: Local Disk (D>Games>World of Warcraft Legion Folder>Data>data. There we go.

WARNING: ALSO BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FULL CLIENT FROM https://forum.wow-freakz.com/WoW-Legion-client-t452441.html - And be sure that your World of
Warcraft Legion Folder is in Local Disk (X and make you sure that your wow folder is moved in folder Games, for example (Games) the Games folder. If u don't have Games
folder crate some new!
And replace your current config folder from your: Local Disk (D>Games>World of Warcraft Legion Folder>Data. To Freakz-WoW config folder:

https://www.wow-freakz.com/wow/legion/config_23420.zip

After that go to: Local Disk (D>Games>World of Warcraft Legion Folder, Right click on Data folder Properties and uncheck Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)
And apply!

Start the game correctly, if u do all of this steps your game launcher will work correctly, be sure that you launch the game from Launcher_Freakz, not from Wow.exe.
I use windows 8.1 Enterprise, and the game works correctly.

-Thank You!

hello im having problems with installation. I downloaded torrent file game and launcher. I did not download official battle.net app. I downloaded game, and I copied downloaded launcher inside World of Warcraft Legion directory (finished torrent) and game wont run. I tried to delete mentioned files from data folder, I tried to remove config folder inside data and replace with yours, also when i want to UNCHECK read-only, it will go back to read-only no matter how hard I try to uncheck it. Still getting error that installation is damaged. Any idea? :/ If I run only extracted launcher, (it says it has 3gb) I can log in and get in game. but after short period of time game kick me out saying i dont use freakz launcher... which I obviously do. If I run the same launcher from legion directory, no way to run.

Did u press "Try for free" in Blizz client?

Hello, i tried all of them but it still says damaged. I deleted that folders, replaced, deleted again and again... Im using Windows 10. I played yesterday but today that game says "damaged" please help me, thank you.

Hello soner777,

I'm afraid I have bad news for you: If the error persists after deleting CASCRepair.mrk then that means that the error is legitimate and that some game files have become corrupted. This can happen by a sudden interruption of the connection (if you Alt+F4 or if you disconnect due to a server crash). If you ahev downloaded the game through torrent you can try to rightclick the torrent and perform a force recheck to try to repair the corrupt files. Should that not be an option, I'm afraid your only possible option is a full re-install. This is why I recommend having a backup of your game client (a working, fresh install with your settings and addons) which you can use to copy in case something like this happens.

Same problem i do all steps but nothing..

Hello srdjan,

If none of the solutions have worked for you then I'm afraid that some of the game files have become corrupted. Your only solution now is a full redownload. This is why I recommend to always keep a backup of a working client, so you can just copy it again in case your active client breaks, that way you save the time of having to redownload.
