Incompatible (Oct 21, 2025)

This literally should not have happened in the first place.
Like come on, multi-billion dollar company and you’re telling me that you don’t have decent release pipelines in place after 20 years?

I just ran a repair scan on my game and restarted bnet. this fixed it for me

Oh hi Keento o/

That is why it is called an “accident”. It happens.

We’ve been having “accidents” for weeks.
That’s no longer an accident, that’s incompetence.

I reinstalled bnet, that seemed to fix it on my end

I have updated the Battle.net launcher, the wow client, I have hit multiple times repair for it, everytime it shows the following when I try to login on any of my characters, it’s ongoing for about 7 hours.

No realms are currently available. (WOW51900309)

did you try this ?

  1. in Battle.net app/program click on the cogwheel (located right from the play button) => Show in Explorer => now you are in your World of Warcraft folder through windows explorer
  2. navigate to World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF => there is only file Config.wtf => right click => open with… => notepad
  3. scroll to bottom and add SET disableAutoRealmSelect "1"
  4. check if the commas "1" are right, you can copy/paste the commas from commands above in the text you editing (something did edit my commas in this guide)
  5. save/CTRL+S

Hey Archon,
So, I did your steps but suprise, I don’t have this file “Config.wtf” it’s missing, the “retail_wtf” folder is actually empty, nothing is there

that is something new, mostly the file is not there only if delete it, or new install and still didnt start WoW
is your WoW in program files or elsewhere ?

I mean, the game did get updated this morning/last night, would make sense that due to this updated it maybe missing.

ehm, you pretty much ignored my question…

It’s not in Program Files, or default Local C, but on my additional partition.
But, great news everyone!

IT WORKS! So for me, I logged into WOW Classic, proceed to create a character(I hadn’t any) checked realm list, it appeared, logged into the new char, I could move, exited the game, logged on retail and everything seems to be working as expected, I logged on my main, checked Realm list, all of them appeared there, so, this maybe another workaround for someone out there experiencing the same issue.
