Error when launching

[kophia]

I downloaded the torrent for Shadowlands and ran wow.exe and it throws an error:

"the CAS system was unable to initialize: Unable to initialize CAS from build file. No active install info entries.

Unable to initialize CAS from patch service with provided version and cdn info strings: VersionInfo: us. CDNInfo: us"

Hello @kophia

Here are some articles you can look into about the CAS issue. This is usually an issue on your machine with permissions.

CAS Error 1

CAS Error 1

Another thing to try will be making sure the wow folder isnt set to read-only. If it is right click >Properties>Uncheck read only

Best Regards,

There are 2 very simple things u can do to not get this error or similar:(this applies to any game or app/executable that writes anything to UAC area, i.e your local user folder >> \\Users\Default etc)

1. Put main game folder in drive which makes pagefile (this is generally OS drive).

2. Make sure the main game folder & everything in it is not read-only or otherwise access restricted.
