i unzipped it in the folder itself(?) I think the problem is that the downloaded zip file doesnt have the realmlist.wtf file so I cannot connect to firestorm? so I tried opening bfa through the firestorm launcher and clicked the already installed button, but for some reason whenever I start the game, it downloads again  does anyone know what to do please help me out

yes, The WoW.exe should be in that folder.

I had trouble myself, so at first I tried downloading by the launch, which showed me the folder the separate full download goes into.

I could not fihnd a realmlist.wtf in any of my folders. I found a config.wtf in Firestorm\WTF

i found it too, should I change something in it? and then be able to use the wow.exe using the full game and not in the launcher?

you have to uncompress (unzip) to the Battle for Azeroth folder.

it can not stay in your download folder.

if it doesn't work after you have it in your Battle for Azeroth folder, try

uninstall launcher.

Deleted every thing in the firestorm folder. 

reinstall launcher.

Unzip the full download into the Battle for Azeroth folder.

If it is not there make the folder.

Then use the launcher to install the BFA and say yes, it is the full game.
