re: ContentPatch 2.3: A survival guide

0
The last contentpatch we had several people who had problems to attend the planned raid because of UI issues. This time I'm not gonna let that happen. If you follow these steps everything should be fine.

Step 1: Update WoW
- Log into your account to start the download. Do not under any circumstances log on to any of your characters yet!!!

Step 2: Ventrilo
While the Blizzard downloader is doing it's job you can download and install the new 3.0 Ventrilo client.
Ventrilo 3.0 for Windows
Ventrilo 3.0 for Mac
Tonight it will no longer be possible to log onto our vent server with the 2.3 client.
Warning, the server is not upgraded yet and the new client does not work with the old server.

Step 3: Addons
- Make a backup of your whole World of Warcraft folder and place it somewhere safe.
- Make sure you have the latest EoL Addon Pack
- go to http://files.wowace.com or use the AceUpdater to update Omen, Recap, RangeDisplay and all other Ace addons that you might have, inlcuding BigWigs, Quartz, Pallypower etc.
- go to wow.curse.com to update all other addons, like Healbot, Deadly Bossmods etc.
- update all other addons that are not found at the above mentioned places.

Step 4: Logging on
- Log into your account
- Accept all the new EULA's etc.
- click on the addon button bottom left
- check the box "load out of date addons"
- ok, you can now log onto your character. Let's hope for the best.

Optional Step 5: Troubleshooting
- when something's really wrong try to disable all your addons and log in again.
- Still not working? Make a backup of your Interface folder, don't place the backup in your World of Warcraft folder but place it somewhere else, possibly even on another harddisk. Delete everything in Interface, WTF and possibly also WauBackups. Remember that you still have your backups, so you won't have to reinstall everything if this goes wrong. Now log back on and see what it does.
- If even that does not work, contact me, Muckle or Feli. Whatever you do, do NOT delete or alter your backups.
