Problem with MoP beta installer.

Unread post by JezzebelPop »

Every time I bring it up it starts to do it's thing for a couple of minutes then the internet cuts off. It definitely seems like it's the installer crashing it.

Since the last weekly reset we've had a few problems concerning Blizzard software and our internet (Virgin). Wow and SC2 refused to open up as the launcher "couldn't receive patching information".
This has sorted itself out now but the beta still cuts off our internet.

Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Anything I should try to resolve the problem?

Thanks for reading, if it's in the wrong place I apologise.

Either it's a problem with ports blocked by Virgin, or perhaps Virgin is blocking P2P (some ISPs do that, I don't know if they do it, not from UK). Try disabling P2P in your beta launcher (it's under download preferences under the far left menu of the launcher).

i had similar issues. the problem is mostly in the launcher itself. use the WoW.exe instead of the launcher exe and you should be fine
