[darkmagishin]

greetings, im getting the same error

"Cant find messagefile '\AC Web Ultimate Repack\server\mysql\share\english\errmsg.sys"

ive done everything from the repacks instructions

this is the location of my folder

C:\AC Web Ultimate Repack\server\mysql\share\english\errmsg.sys"

any other suggestions? so far ive copied the ad.exe and maps folder into my wow directory and used the ad.exe file. then once it was done extracting i copied the maps folder to C:\AC Web Ultimate Repack\Ascent\

set the realm list to "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"

and thats when i fire up the control panel.exe and into the endless loop of the missing message file

this guy posted this video on youtube. i did the exact same thing as he did and it wont work for me

sorry for the crummy youtube link, says i need 3 post, rofl.

change the ascent logonserver to look like

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
# These two directives set up which clients will be
# allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
# Set these to the same builds that the server was
# compiled for.
#
# As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#

<Client MinBuild = "8089"
MaxBuild = "8278">

^^^^^^^^^^^^
It it doesn't have a client min build and maxbuild like that it wont work.
