Posts with tag patch-4.3.3-64-bit

Blizzard has released new 64-bit clients for patch 4.3.3 today. Keep in mind that you need to remove the previous 64-bit client files before patching. After that's done, you can install these files:

Windows patch 4.3.3 64-bit client download link
Mac patch 4.3.3 64-bit client download link

As a reminder, the 64-bit client is also considered a beta product, even though you can use it on the live realms. But with that said, most people experience only good things and no real problems with the 64-bit version of WoW. But if you do run into problems, be sure to let Blizzard know about them.

If you have no idea what any of this means, take a look at our brief explainer of the difference between 32- and 64-bit game clients.

The full Blizzard post after the break.

While there are many of us enjoying the splendor that the 64-bit WoW client brings us, the upcoming patch 4.3.3 (which is likely to hit this week) will break this client. The 32-bit client will still work, however, and for the time being, everyone will need to use that.

We do not know how long it will be until a new, functioning client will be released.

Furthermore, if you are running the 64-bit client, according to Blizzard you need to delete the following files in order for the patch to work properly:

• Wow-64.exe (PC)
• MovieProxy.exe (PC)
• Battle.net-64.dll (PC)
• World of Warcraft-64.app (Mac)

More information on this issue is available on the support website. If all of this discussion sounds like an alien language to you, check out our brief explainer.

And of course, when a new 64-bit client appears, we'll let you know right away.
