Subject: "Unable to validate game version"
   This may have allready been answered, but since you cant search the forums I have no real way to know.

When I try to connect to the test server now i get the error

"unable to validate game version"

Any way to resolve this?

   You're trying to connect to the server with an older version of the game that is no longer in test. You need to download and install the new patch available here:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/files/pc/WoW-1.6.1.4544v2-to-0.7.0-enUS-downloader.exe

Or here if you are on a Mac:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/files/mac/WoW-1.6.1.4544v2-to-0.7.0-enUS-downloader.dmg

Make sure to delete your WoWTest Folder before applying the new patch.

   That's an older version of the test. The current version is 0.7.0.4603

Did you completely delete your WoWTest folder before applying this new patch:

   Correct, the patches have the same name once they are downloaded, so you will also need to delete the old patch from your WoW directory before running the new downloader .exe in the link above.

You can tell the two downloaders apart - the more recent one has a 'v2' in the filename:

WoW-1.6.1.4544v2-to-0.7.0-enUS-downloader.exe
vs.
WoW-1.6.1.4544-to-0.7.0-enUS-downloader.exe
