First off, thanks for responding.
But, dang, I'm such a techno-noob, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean!
I mean, I've found a bunch of sites where I can upload past patches, but those patches and their different increments vary from site to site
- some have like 2.0.0 to 2.1.0; 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 and so on and so forth,
- while other have stuff like 1.12.995 to 2.0.1, 2.0.0 to 2.0.7. 2.0.1 to 2.0.3, 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 and seem to be out of sequence
In any case, I've tried to install a few without success, messages ranging from "You need an older version of wow.ex, you have version 2.0.6608" to "Unauthorized operation"
What I really need is a "Retropatching for dummies" telling me which site to visit, which patches to download and how to install them.
I've just spent at least 30 hours reinstalling a 2nd WoW folder from scratch, over and over, trying all sorts of patch installations and sequences and I'm still unable to play.
Anyone care to share their step-by-step journey through retropatching, please?
