Y'know, it's not the fact that I'm canceling my account when it's up that bugs me the most. It's that I won't be picking up D3 or SC2 as a result. I cannot financially support a decision as bad as this, no matter how good their games are.
Alright, I can't log in to the main WoW tech support forums, so I wanted to assist people in the next most likely spot they'd look.
If you are experiencing the "Failed to Apply Patch" bug with Windows 7, please follow the instructions below:
1) Go to your WOW folder 2) Right-click on WoW.exe and select properties. 3) Select the Compatibility tab. 4) Check the box next to "Run this program as an administrator" and click OK. 5) Follow steps 2 - 4 for Launcher.exe. 6) Run Launcher.exe
At this point, WoW should begin applying the patch. It took me about 8 minutes to apply the patch, so don't sweat it if it takes longer than usual. Hope this helps some of the people out there.
