No apparent 32 bit client

[blonkie]

Hey, so after the patch hit, i tried swapping to the x86 version of wow, changed the x64 version file name to wow-641.exe so the launcher would run the x86 version. After the ninja patch and the test release of honorbuddy, every time i try to open the x86 version the x64 version still runs. Is there some sort of work around for this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game but it still has the same issue. Please help!

This is an easy fix. Simply find your World of Warcraft folder on your computer under programs or where ever you have it. If you look in your wow folder you will find two exe files one will say wow-64.exe the other says wow.exe use the wow.exe and it runs in 32 bit. very easy fix. you cannot use the wow64.exe one.

I always do that, got 2 different shortcuts, but when i run the wow.exe (32bits) it still boots the 64bits version. I tried changing it in the launcher, same problem. There is no possible way to run the 32bits version when having a 64bits windows. At least, so far.

delete or rename the Wow-64.exe and all is ok

I managed to boot it up, but only though the honorbuddy launcher, if anyone else is having the same difficulty

I renamed it to wow-64.exe.bak
That worked for me.

Renaming also worked for me

if your using the test release just use Honorbuddy.Launcher.exe and it should take care of loading the correct one for you.
