@Raymonator Hey there! This can also be caused by your antivirus blocking our DLL files. Can you try to add the whole ascension client folder to the exceptions and run client repair via the cogwheel menu of our launcher?

@BW4RE
The item you are referring to is the wondrous wisdomball, you can find it in the convenience category. But its kinda expensive, and you level so fast by just doing dungeons it's not really worth it. The XP you would get is equivalent to a couple extra queue's. Then you hit 70 in a week and it's useless. #FYI That said if you feel like donating the same amount of money could get you a number of other useful items like extra spec's n such.

i know u can find 1 in durotar, just ask the guard in Orgrimmar

The solution for me was using a VPN. Don't know if it was because of the apparent traffic shaping/blocking AT&T is said to be doing, but it might be. Don't know of any other solution at the moment.

@Jammorvel Hey. Thanks for your offer, but I don't know how to get a crash log. When the game freezes, I force close it. Is there a way to display a crash log?

@TastyGM Its okay, thank you for taking the time to help me with this issue. I did find a 'some-what' solution that allowed me to play. I could not figure out how to white list all the files, but I did discover I can temporarily shut off the "real-time scan" so I can open the launcher and download the update.
the steps:
Open McAfee
click on My Protection
click on Real-Time Scanning
click on Shut off

an option pops up that will let you shut off the real time scanning for either 15 mins, 30 mins, or 45 mins. After that, the game opened up perfectly fine. Discovering how easy this was, I am much more comfortable with shutting the virus protection off - knowing it will turn itself back on in a short time. Hope this information can help someone else who uses McAfee! Thank you again for your help TastyGM, I appreciate the time and effort you put in.

I've been getting crashes like this quite often when looting or opening different UI elements. I thought it was an addon causing issues but I turned that off and then I crashed when simply holding [W].
I lost a HC toon this way. Not feeling confident this is fixable by reinstalling the client and starting with fresh settings but I'm going to give it a try.
