Posted May 2, 2016 Introduction I understand how hard it is for players, and developers to freshly install a game (whether it be theirs, or not) from anywhere only to see it not work, and I've had my fare share of those happen just as much as everyone else here more recently though was with Warlords of Dreanor from the Firestorm servers now don't get me wrong, I love Firestorm, but even though "I love them" that doesn't mean them perfect, far from it in fact. They are only human, just like the rest of us, and they will make mistakes, again just like the rest of us that's why it's up to us as a community to help resolve whatever we can whenever we can, to make the Forum, and the game a better place to co-exist in. "Enough rambling Vexes, and tell us what we came here for!" you might be saying, and ok I'll give you a quick run down of what you most likely came here for. Why I think This Exists & How To Fix It As you all know since Firestorm released 6.2.3 they've been "plagued" with error reports from people who freshly installed the game through the Firestorm launcher they attempted to use a torrent (With little success IMO) to resolve this issue thinking it was some issue with installing all the needed files which they where kinda correct, but the "fix" at times proved to not work for some people, because of one small thing they overlooked as far as I can see from the forum anyway, the reason for the error is mainly because the client cannot finish writing data to the folder because the folder has a Read Only Permission which is easily fixed by Right Clicking, and going down to Properties then un-checking the Read Only option near the bottom of the General Page once that is done you should be able to load the game just like normal, and have some fun in Azeroth once again with Firestorm Step By Step Photo Tutorial 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I figured this was important info for those people who are still having issues with the game after downloading the torrent version of the client, which isn't as seeded as it should be. Edited May 2, 2016 by SupremeAgni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 3, 2016 Do I have to download the torrent first in order for this to work? Because torrenting is hard for me to get away with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2016 Well you have 2 choices you can decide to download the game via our Launcher - That is the slow and painful way , or get the full game via the torrent set up everything and start playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2016 How would I go about doing it via launcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Here you go mate just click the big DOWNLOAD button. If you download the game via torrent use the "Already Installed" option just bellow the DOWNLOAD button Edited May 3, 2016 by Spartan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 12, 2016 @ItzDestinyX Quote Go into the WoW folder and delete the Cache folder. Then go into the World of Warcraft/Data folder and delete the Indices folder. Once that is done, restart the system and run the launcher as an admin. That should solve the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 20, 2016 no help at all.. it keeps on coming back to read only.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Hi so heres how read only works on windows. When you right click and go to properties that box next to read only is what im talking about. First off Read Only isnt set on folders its set on files that option isnt what you think. Second It doesnt tell you if its read only or not on that check box. Treat it as a GUI for applying or removing Read Only. Filled box=(Nothing to be done). Check in the box means apply read only blank box means remove Read Only. That being said CAS error sucks and i have it to! EDIT: This is for windows for the record! Edited May 31, 2016 by Gmaul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2016 Hi, new here but thought I would share my two cents. I originally did the fresh install of the launcher (using Battle.net downloaded files). I to kept getting the CAS error. So I decided to delete the launcher and reinstall it and just simply linking to the Battle.net folder. When asked for the first time what language you are(location) I had kept putting America(English) but the last time I tried I put Europe(English) not sure if this helped or I just finally fixed it with the read data and what not. Just thought I would say just in case, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Download Wow executables from Firestorm Launcher and run WoW.exe or Wow-64.exe and you will have WoW installed in about 10 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Just now, Tigd said: There should be window such as this: wow-downloading.png Yeah, doing what you suggested just gives me the CAS error again. I changed the red-only settings for the new folder and tried opening both Wow and Wow-64 and it just gives the error. Edit: Why exactly should I not use the Battle.net files?
