Problems launching Freakz wow.exe WIN 10 pro 64 bits

[mlist]

Hello, recently i'm facing an annoying problem which is the .exe takes tooooo long to run wow even tho my wow folder is in my SSD which is pretty fast usually it takes 1 sec to launch the game but recently when i click wow just sits in task manager without launching even when i click multiple times sometimes they launch all at same time after a while...tried deleteing cache folder but same, earlier i had a black window prompt saying my : "Freakz.exe can't determine my wow version contact us in forum " so here i am i was able to launch just now ofc i had multiple wows because i clicked many times. Anyone has an idea ? i never faced this kind of problem wow just takes a long time or won't launch on an SSD weird.

Hello mlist,

Make sure that you remove the Read Only property from the entire WoW folder (not just Data). Also set all WoW executables and Freakz launchers to run with administrator privileges.

Please let us know if that helps.

Hello, Thanks for reply Sarah i tried Read Only on whole wow folder (sub folders too) when i checked again read only was enabled again... but the problem seems to be gone now wow launches quickly as it used to be so i don't know what was the real problem.

Hello again mlist,

"Read only" is a property that only applies to files inside folders, folders themselves can't be or not be read only, this is why you see a filled out box instead of either an empty box or a tick. This filled out box is a default state that only exists for folders, you can only put a tick or an empty box to folders to change all the files inside them, but the folder itself will show the filled box again after. If you check the files inside the folder you'll see that none of them are set to read only.

So that was in fact the problem.


Best regards
Sarah

This is an old thread but Im having the exact same thing.

I Tried unchecking folder and subfolders and start Launcher in Admin mode but still no luck.

Please note that I run Windows 10 and I Downloaded the "Download while you play"

First launch can take a while, especially when using just the launcher. Depending on your computer and internet speed it might very well be more than 30 minutes.

If you see it running in the Task Manger, be patient and wait, don't run multiple instances of the launcher at once.

Hi all,

I'm having the same issues and even though I'm trying to be patient, when the game does start it doesn't respond

Tried these:
-Moving the freakz folder to your program files.
-Adding the freakz folder to antivirus exceptions.
-Updating DirectX.
-Installing https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe (32-bit) / https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (64-bit)
-Installing / Updating https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
-Set the freakz launcher to run as admin.
