Date and build: 22 September 2026, 7.3.5.26365
Restart required: no, everything is already live. The launcher will offer the update on its own.
Launcher 1.6.1
- The game no longer takes minutes to start. Before launching, the launcher wrote a build key into the client that did not match what was actually installed on disk. The client therefore treated its own storage as foreign and re-downloaded a 108 MB index table over the network in small pieces, one request per piece. Over the past day that came to 16,063 requests and 0.8 GB of traffic from just four machines. That is also why it was "sometimes one minute, sometimes ten": when the launcher did not get an answer from the site in time, it rewrote nothing and the game started normally. The cause is fixed on the server side, so it works for everyone right away, even without updating the launcher.
- The launcher will no longer write a build key whose configuration file is not on the player's disk. One wrong line on the server can't repeat this again.
- The launcher can now remove obsolete addon folders. That was needed right away — see the next section.
Battle pass
- The battle pass addon is now called AzeronBP and finally ships with the client. Previously the distribution carried only the addon description without its code: for everyone who downloaded the client through the launcher, /bp opened nothing at all. It only worked for those who copied the file in by hand.
- The old uBattlePass folder is removed automatically on the first run of the updated launcher, so two copies of the addon can't load at once.
- Two rewards showed empty squares instead of icons — fixed.
- The currency "Coin of Luck" has been renamed to "Astralite".
Death knight
- The scenario "The Blades of the Fallen Prince" now completes. Its final stage was waiting for an event that nothing in the database ever fired: the quest objective was credited to the player, but the scenario itself stayed open. Now the stage is closed by taking the waygate from the Frozen Throne to Acherus.
What you need to do
1. Start the launcher and accept the update to 1.6.1.
2. Run the file check: the old battle pass folder is removed and the new one (14 MB) is downloaded.
3. If the game was running, restart it completely. Addons are only read when the client starts.
Still working on
- Demon hunter intro quests — report received, we're on it.
- Legion and BfA dungeons and raids — a full pass over mechanics, phases and loot is underway.
