I think my comment may have glitched out, but was there a way to get the Arctium launcher to actually start up the wow.exe? I still haven’t managed it myself yet trying to mess around in the WoW folder.
You just have to place the arctium launcher in the same location as the wow.exe file, then you open the arctium launcher which will then open the wow.exe and also load custom skins =)
Well Actually i tired that, yet it keeps coming ‘Please copy the launcher to your WoW folder.’
It has changed later in BFA, you now place it outside the _retail_ folder =)
I recently installed Arctium Wow Client, and it ran fine, but when i got to where my toon was entering the game i got the error saying: “This application has encountered a critical error: error #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception! Program files C:\Program Files
ProcessID 8668
Exception: Access_Violation
The instruction at 0x0000000140504f0a” referenced memory at 0x00000000001c”
The memory could not be “Read”
Have you tried running wow without any nude patch? Just the arctium launcher only, just to check if its the nude patch or the launcher that’s causing an issue. Try look for “Character”, “Creature” and “item” folder. If any of these 3 are in the wow folder just try to move them out of this folder and test =)
I got it to work, i just deleted everything from the “creatures”, “Character”, and “item” folders then dragged the “creatures”, “Character”, and “item” folders from the download into my Wow Binary (( Local disk (C:) > Program files (x86) > World of warcraft )) then it worked. It turns out i had (for the lack of a better way to put it) outdated nude patches. Now it works fine.

Do you know if launching wow through Arctium lets you use battlenet’s “appear offline” functionality? I’d prefer if everyone on my friends list didn’t see my excursions to goldshire at 3am…
I actually have no idea, I would assume that if the option of “appear offline” is within the launcher I guess it handles that, you can always try ask a friend if he sees you online on bnet, and if he asks why, just tell him you had issues with bnet as a small lie =)
Downloaded the Arctium WoW client and tried to open the game with and it says that my client is outdated? Just downloaded the client and updated my battle.netm so the game shouldn’t be out of date.
Help?
The launcher is out of date, not the game.
To clarify, the game just had an update yesterday, and the launcher hasn’t caught up.
Oh, okay.
Hi there. is there a date when model nude patch coming out???
I cant wait for it. love u guys for hard work
There is no release date on that right now, I’m not experienced with model editing myself, I’ve only made nude skins for the models. That means I need to find a model editor to work with me to do such kind of nude patch =)
Downloaded the latest ‘Arctium-io-launcher’ did copy paste into wow folder, launched it, got the Microsoft does not like, ran anyways, my virus protection kicked in and quarantined it. I have run the previous version with no problems. My virus protection ‘Avast’ does not like ‘arctium-wow-launcher-8.0.1-28153’
It isn’t an issue i’ve experienced with my own avast (i use avast premier). It is likely a false positive
Hmmm, my Avast keeps stopping and scrapping it, so i can’t test it out. Any syggestions on what i can do?
It’s a false positive if anything, and you can restore the file from the virus chest within the avast UI and add it to be exluded
Seems to no longer work atm “due to suspicious activity, this account has been locked.”
Launch through battle.net still works normally, so it’s not account problem.
Any ideas?
What Region do you play on ?
Launcher Is currently out of date as of today’s 8.1 patch, Just an FYI. :3
I am aware of it and doing some testing with arctium launcher v8.1.0 launcher right now
But i have had 3 crashes so far, im unsure what it is related to, also blizzard changed wow a bit, most files now exist inside _retail_ folder now, including screenshots, WTF, interface folders that contain addons
Also installing nude mods now means that you have to put Character, Creature and Item folders inside _retail_ folder now, but arctium launcher must still be put in the normal wow folder outside of _retail_ folder.
Awesome, thanks for the update! :3
I did notice that the WoW.exe has been moved to _retail_ , It’s kind of a shot out in the dork but do you think it could be a file pathing issue, could it be possible that the file order or dependencies have changed. A lot of the changes to system files and the exe it’s self seem to be system optimization oriented from what I have seen.
The arctium launcher is still put into the world of warcraft root folder, where it has always been to begin with, but the nude patch folders are put into _retail_ that’s the only change
Also I believe the reason that blizzard made this new _retail_ folder is because of classic wow comming in around 6 months and therefore we might see a _classic_ folder soon as we get closer to classic release.
