World of Warcraft®

i had some problems with updating in the past becouse i forgot to remove the 64 bit files first.
so i made a bat file to remove it for me.

for those that are not very fimiliar with bat files:
create new text document and rename it to anything you want as long as you change the .exe extension to .bat

NOTE: the .bat file MUST BE in your wow root directory(where wow.exe is located) for this to work, you can create a shortcut to other places if you want :)

open it with a text editor and add the following lines

@echo off

echo Tasks:
echo 1: Delete WoW 64 bit files
echo 2: Delete creature WDM files
echo E: Exit tool

SET /P ANSWER=Choose task to run (Task 1/2 or E for exit)?
echo You chose: %ANSWER%
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={1} (goto :1)
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={2} (goto :2)
if /i {%ANSWER%}=={e} (goto :e)
goto :e

:1
echo Deleting 64 bit files.
DEL Battle.net-64.dll
DEl MovieProxy.exe
DEL Wow-64.exe
echo all files deleted!
pause
exit /b 0

:2
echo Deleting creature cache files.
DEL Cache\WDB\enGB\creaturecache.wdb
echo all files deleted!
pause
exit /b 0

:e
echo You pressed no! BYE!
exit /b 1


hi i find a problem

i got windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
when i press the play button i get failed to find a suitable display device exit program enny cleus
i still get the message even when i delete those file wow64.exe battle.net.dll64 and the movie file

do you have your graphic card drivers installed?
usualy when that msg appears it means that the game doesn't recognize your card becouse it's not installed correctly.

do you have any idea what kind of graphic card you have and wether you installed the the latest drivers?

for Nvidia cards: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk
either pick your model/OS from the list or choose option 2 where it install an plugin that will auto detect your card and show the proper driver

for AMD(ATI) card you can download a tool that will auto detect your card and show the proper drivers from here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

or post your card model and brand and we can help you locate the proper drivers

Sooo much better =D finally i can run descent graphic at good fps ^_^

I keep getting randomly disconnected, I don't know whether this is an Issue with 64 bit WoW or not, gonna test 32 bit quickly.

UPDATE: It seems that 64 bit disconnects me after a certain amount of playtime, I don't know why it does but 32 bit doesn't.

oO just found this x64 patch... *downloads & installs*

I'm wondering wether we will be required to remove the 64-bit files again when the 5.x patch goes live?

Verad you will have to remove them for patch 5.0.4 and when it goes live the new 64 bit client data should be available.

Well since the MoP beta has native 64-bit support, I was wondering if it would still be necessary.
Just 2 be safe i'll just remove them the day before the patch goes live . . . .
tnx anyway Tedster

Any update?

No?

Damn I removed it after Patch Update... now I downloaded it from here and ofc. it's outdated... how can I fix it ? I don't want to download all 25 GB again :O !

Any updates incoming?

"Where’s the new 64-bit client?

The 64-bit client is included with patch 5.0.4. The game will detect if you are on a 64-bit system and launch the 64-bit version of the game automatically. "

I did it, accidentaly deleted Wow-64.exe... beacuse I read somewhere on forum that I should do that and now ofc. I can't run my WoW and Repair it beacuse there isn't such Tool anymore + Launcher doesn't redownload it, where can I download 64 Bit files ?

@Mistrzu, from the first post from this topic?

Btw, the game has some small spikes atm, getting stuck half a second every few 3-4 seconds, anyone else got this?

I downloaded it and it still wont let me run it in 64

@Bland, yup I downloaded Wow-64.exe from this thread, unfortuantely it isn't updated yet :(

the launcher updated my 64bit exe, the one at the start of the thread is for 4.3.4.15595, if you have downloaded this then you might need to repair to get the new one back again.

@Wobby, but how the hell am I suppose to repair it, where ther isn't Reapir Tool anymore ?

Support 64 bit for 5.04 then? It doesnt work with 15595
