Just downloaded this launcher and put it in the proper place and I get a error code saying ‘client version 28742’. I also moved my wow.exe out of the _retail_ folder. Is this related to the 8.1 patch?
I havent uploaded arctium launcher for 8.1.0 just yet as i was testing it out before releasing it to my own site
Grammar error i ment on the wow.exe
Hey madam any ETA on the patch? i used to be your biggest fan and tbh i still am but i havent been on this website for months and i see alot has changed im really loving the new arts and the new Layout and Interfaces its so Kawai and awesome!.
I’ll be adding the new stuff soon, don’t worry, just been working a lot lately but i’ll get updating soon =)
i really enjoy your nude patch in south korea. thank you for your effort! really appreciate to you! have a nice day!
any idea when it will be ready for 8.1? also thank you very much for all your work
downloaded the 8.1, there is a bug. There is Huge graphical crashing happening around the characters. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for your work!
That isn’t a bug with the arctium launcher itself, that’s more likely to be an out dated nude patch that you are using =)
oh I see that now.. thank you!
There is a bones and animations patch on the dark nest discord site.
any idea when the ARC launcher for 28822 will post?
Whenever the author of the arctium launcher updates it, I’ll upload the update to my site as well. He is usually fairly fast with posting an update, usually within same day or one day after patch has hit =)
any idea when the ARC launcher for 28833 will post?
Darknest is down due to server change, seems they got delays. Go to Darknest and press twitter for further info.
They are back 😀 Enjoy.
I signed in to say holy shit good job. It must take literal AGES to make these!
I downloaded the new 8.1.0-28833 launcher and i get a message saying please copy the launcher into the wow folder but it’s in the wow folder
It should be inside the Wow folder, not the _retail_ forlder
Btw, there any models or skins patch for bfa? I tried to use legion nude patch but didnt work after opened wow with this launcher
You put the character, creature and item folder inside the new _retail_ folder, it does work but I am also working on an update to include more BFA races =)
and, in game, where can I find item or skins??
What do you mean?
Did exactly what you say but it doesnt execute the game, said Copy the launcher in to the wow folder. I tried to copy it on wow folder C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft and C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_
go into your battle net launcher and look at the settings, then check the install location for your game just to make sure its correct =)
it is, still saying the same
Fixxed using the battle net repair tool and then open it again
” please copy the launcher to your wow directory”
it is already there
I’ve got a problem when I use the launcher and he said “Your client version 29482 is not supported.”
what is it from ?
That’s because wow is running a newer version then the one you find on my site, but I’ll try have the new version uploaded as soon as I can =)
Edit: It is now added
Hey when i start with the new Version 29482 i get an fatal Error 132. I tried redownloading this Launcher and also repearing the WoW Data. Nothing helped so far, and ll i was able to find about Error 132 is, that it was an dx11 Issue back in 2012, and you should change back to 9 in the Config, since Wow doesnt support 9 anymore, i doubt that it will still work, but i tried it anyhow and changing to 11 also, but nothing has helped yet. Erlier this day it worked with the old Version.
Ah what i should add is that WoW still runs fine, when
i run it trough the original Launcher.
Try delete character, creature and item folders if you have that, and run wow without any mods, but still run it with the arctium launcher. I suspect it might be outdated nude patch, but it’s worth trying to see if wow will even launch without any mods at all
Hey thanks i deleted these folders inside the Retail folders again, eventhough i did it before, which didn’t help. But while navigating to them, i have seen i had still old folders of the patch, somewhere inside the normal wow folders, not Retail. I deleted them and those inside the Retail folders, reeinstallled in the Retail folders, and now it works again. Somehow there was no Problem with the Versions before the newest Update. I don’t know exactly from when these old folders where, but there were only two folderss, Character and Creture no Item, that might give a Clue.
hey esidien long time user love everything u and your team make just wanted to let u know they made a new patch and arctium isnt up to date cant wait to start using ur guys content again
as soon as arctium updates their own launcher for 29600 then i’ll have it up on my site too =)
I might be stupid, but whenever I try to run the arctium launcher it starts to run and then crashes. I’m not given an error though. It just stops.
Trying this for the first time. After following the instructions it says “your client version 29600 is not supported” and doesn’t work. Does this mean that it’s not me doing something wrong and it’s just that the patch doesn’t work because WoW is a newer version and is that what you and others meant by these posts today? Do I need to wait for a new version of arctium launcher to use the nude patch? I’m an oblivious noob.
Do you play on retail wow? and also did you place this file in the wow folder, not inside the retail folder?
Yes, I play on retail wow. I placed the launcher in the wow folder. Also, when that didn’t work I tried placing it in the retail folder also. I didn’t work either way. I noticed that the fixed exe file is called wow_64.exe, but the original exe from blizzard is called wow.exe. Does is matter that they’re named differently when I replaced the exe file? I’m on windows 10. To summarize, I copied the 3 folders from the newest patch to the c:\programfilesx86\world of warcraft\retail folder. I put the 29600 arctium launcher in the c:\programfilesx86\world of warcraft folder and made a desktop shortcut. I put the fixed exe file into the retail folder. The instructions said “replace the wow.exe with the new one” so i tried moving the wow.exe file to my desktop and put the fixed exe file in its place. I noticed that the new one is called wow_64.exe but the old one is called wow.exe. I clicked the arctium launcher shortcut on the desktop and also tried clicking the original file in the wow folder to launch the game without bnet running. Both times I tried it, it said “Your client 29600 is not supported.” and nothing happened. I also tried just double clicking the fixed exe file but that sent me to a “an update is required by battlenet” which just puts the old wow.exe back in the folder. Did I miss something? Do I need to rename the fixed exe file to wow.exe or just leave it as it is with the wow_64.exe name? Pls, and thank you. 🙂
You dont need the fixed wow exe only the arctium launcher, the fixed exe was the method beforehand
I tried with only the arctium launcher and the normal wow.exe. I downloaded the newest launcher today. I replaced the old one and tried it. It’s still the same message “Your client 29600 is not supported.” even though im not useing 29600 now. I’m using 29621. I also tried deleting the creature/character/item folders like you suggested on the other post and that didn’t work either. I also tried copying the wow folder from c:\programfilesx86\ to c:\programfiles\ and the launcher didnt work there either. I tried running it as administrator. I’m wondering if it’s working for anyone else on windows 10? Next thing I’m gonna try is turning off all the windows defender shield on c:\ to test it. Is it only me having this problem?
