CPU keeps trying to update to 3.1

[musemike]

So my cpu runs my public (for a few friends) server over hamachi. It was up and running until today at which point everytime i log into WoW and I put my password and username in it starts the download for the patch.

Any way to stop WoW from trying to download the patch when I log in? My realm list HAS been changed.

1. Your cpu isn't downloading WoW, WoW is downloading an update.
2. In your realmlist just put set realmlist xxxx nothing else.
3. Don't run launcher, run wow.exe

Cheers.

Ok, I put the xxx's and it is still tryin to update

I have been running wow.exe, but no cigar.

Thanks for the help so far!

make your realmlist look like this:

#set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
#set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
#set realmlistbn ""
#set portal us
set realmlist "IP_OF_YOUR_SERVER_HERE"

close, but, no cigar

Dont launch with the launcher. Your CPU is the central processing unit. in other words Processor. You fail at computers srsly.

Actually I don't, I built this COMPUTER from scratch. I just dont like saying the whole word and people obviously know what i am talking about.

Secondly I never use launcher...

Make sure you change ALL in your Realmlist.wtf to set realmlist [Your server realmlist] .

make your realmlist look like this:

#set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
#set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
#set realmlistbn ""
#set portal us
set realmlist "IP_OF_YOUR_SERVER_HERE"

set patchlist makes your game download automatically the newest patch, because it sees you having an older version than blizzards realms have. So NEVER place that line UNLESS you go and play retail for some time.

simply make realmlist looks like this:
set realmlist (YOUR SERVER IP HERE)
set patchlist xx.version.worldofwarcraft.com

ok all of what those guys are saying is the more complicated way all you have to do is right click on your wow launcher on your desktop and in the Target box at the end erase the launcher.exe or w.e it is and type in wow.exe bam problem fixxed
