The WoW Launcher’s ‘setRealmlist’

Anti-virus’ & the WoW Launcher

I’ve been informed that from revision 109 and on (about the time I switched to Visual Studio 2012), my WoW Launcher is being falsely identified by an Antivirus named ‘QuickHeal’. I’m currently attempting to get this rectified either on their end, or mine.

WoW Launcher Update r112

This update fixes a crash that would occur when you attempted to launch a realm via double clicking its listbox entry when that realms Config.wtf or Launcher.wtf didn’t include a “useThirtyTwoBitClient” entry.

Also fixed is a display bug, where the realmlist textbox would be disabled when it shouldn’t be.
