Just updated to new client, won't go past launcher

[Tephulis]

I just copied the files over to the root file to update to the new version. Started game and new launcher came up and asked for where the realmlist was at. Double checked correct and clicked ok. Launcher comes up and checks for updates. When the play button comes available, I click it but nothing happens and the game doesn't load. I have rebooted and only the launcher comes up. Can you tell me what I missed?

So, I got this fixed. The properties of the realmlist had the read-only checked. I unchecked it and now runs fine!

Good to hear it's fixed, Tephulis.

Yes, it's always best to confirm that the whole game directory for WoW-Mania is set to NOT read-only. You can go to the Properties settings for the game directory, uncheck the read-only box, and it will ask you if you would like to update the read-only setting for all files and directories included inside the game directory; this is recommended.

The update process itself went smoothly, and I eagerly launched the client, expecting to dive into the updated features and improvements. To my dismay, the launcher seems to be the final destination, as the client refuses to move past this point.

I've tried various troubleshooting steps, including restarting my computer, checking for updates, and even reinstalling the entire client. Unfortunately, none of these efforts have proven successful, leaving me stuck in a perpetual loop of launching the client only to be met with the unyielding presence of the launcher.
