I was wondering about this,because it never changed the revision number on the patch release.I have 3.2.2 backed up in case I need to reinstall from scratch and its the same release number.
O well....False Alarm

You'll save yourselves a lot of unnecessary excitement if you keep up to date with what's happening on the PTR. |

No excitement here,just was wondering.
Pardon me for not eating and sleeping all things WOW.
Edit-On another note....I dual Box a bit.I noticed the Launcher will not Launch twice for some odd reason.I can run WOW.exe twice just not the Launcher twice.Since as guyver01 says that these are part of the tools,I am assuming well its bugged.

Yeah some guildies were complaining about that last night. But like you said you can still get two instances launched by going through the wow.exe directly |

Quote from: Eyonix (Source)We are aware that since the latest tools patch, some players are receiving the error, "invalid game version" when attempting to login to the game. In order to resolve this issue, you must allow the launcher to run so the appropriate update can be applied.
We've also identified an issue that's preventing players from running the launcher while wow.exe is open. This is preventing players from running multiple iterations of World of Warcraft. As a temporary work-around, until this issue is resolved, simply run the second game instance by opening wow.exe directly from your World of Warcraft folder.
If your download fails, please wait a few moments and try again. We hope to have these issues corrected shortly, and appreciate your understanding. |

Except that was BS, it gave the error whether or not you applied the patch using the launcher. Still they fixed it quick enough, and the only side effect was losing all the settings for every addon on all four of my toons. So no more than an hour or two of repairing the damage. Not bad for an untested patch and considerate too, releasing it on a non-maintenance day at 6pm server. |
