The online game World of Warcraft needs no introduction. Even those who don't play know her. Blizzard's brainchild has proven itself to be a very successful project, allowing the developers to develop the series with numerous additions. The last one at the moment is "Legion". Some players have noticed a strange trend. When upgrading to the corresponding add-on, error 132 occurs when starting the game. Why is WoW giving error 132 and how to fix it? This is what we are going to talk about today.
Reasons for the error
There are a lot of them. This is exactly the problem of fixing error 132. The reasons for its appearance are varied: problems with hardware, "crooked" drivers, inadequate add-ons, abnormal operation of the cooling system, increased processor multiplier, damage to game files, lack of RAM. Therefore, it is very important to determine the reason why error 132 occurs in WoW.
For the most part, crooked drivers, inadequate modifications to the game interface and the loss of vital client files are to blame for the appearance of this error. All this is fixable, although it takes a lot of time and nerves. Here is such a tricky WoW error 132. How to fix the situation will be written below. Let's take a look at the most common causes of this error and how to fix it.
Reason # 1. Curved drivers
The most common cause is incorrectly installed graphics drivers. Or the manufacturer has tricked something in the driver code. Also, a similar problem may arise due to the use of its test version, which has not yet passed any tests. It is quite understandable that various errors are possible when using such drivers. The solutions to the problem are as follows.
If you are using the newest version of the driver, try uninstalling it and installing the old verified one. If it's just "crooked", then reinstalling the newly downloaded package should also fix the problem. If the failure occurred due to the fault of the manufacturer, who screwed up the driver code, then you will have to wait for the official patch for this version. Nothing can be done here.
Reason # 2. Interface mods
There are a huge number of interface modifications for WoW. Error 132 can also occur through their fault. For example, after updating the client, the version of the modifications remains exactly the same. As a result, they come into conflict with the updated files. This is how the error happens. In general, the use of mods is not recommended, as they contain many holes that can cause irreparable damage to the game client. How to fix the situation?
You need to remove all mods from the Interface folder. If you have too many of them, and you are too lazy to choose the ones that you need, you can delete the entire folder entirely. Anyway, the next time you start the game, it will be restored. But already without left-handed mods. To be sure, you must also delete the Cache folder. Believe me, it will be better this way. In WoW Pandaria, bug 132 is most often caused by mods. So this method should help. If there are no changes, read on.
Reason number 3. Missing required files
It also happens that in WoW, error 132 appears due to the loss of some important client files related to the game interface. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, some files could have been destroyed by an excessively zealous anti-virus. Or you manually deleted a certain file and did not pay attention to it. In any case, the information is lost and something needs to be done about it. The algorithm for correcting this problem is quite simple.
Searching for deleted files manually is a bad job. There will be no sense from this. There is only one way out - to demolish the client and download it again. Be careful when playing on a third-party server. Download exactly the client recommended by the server administration. The rest can be in serious trouble. So you shouldn't download everything.
Troubleshoot PC hardware problems
To prevent this error from occurring in the game, it will also be useful to clean the cooling system of the video card and processor. Also, it will not be harmful to check the operability of the RAM strips. It should also not conflict if you have two planks from different manufacturers. And, of course, if you have a very ancient video card, it is better to replace it. For with such porridge you cannot cook. Not this, but another error will appear.
In general, the state of the computer components must be monitored regularly, and not grabbed at the head just when errors appear. After all, a PC is a technique. And it requires proper care.
Conclusion
Now we know where error 132 can come from in WoW. We also know how to eliminate it. In most cases, all of the above methods work. If they did not help you, then something is wrong with the components of your computer. In this case, you will have to look for additional information. But don't panic ahead of time. Try less drastic methods first.
For the moment, in this review, we list the solutions to all the difficulties that relate to the popular video game World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.

WoW: Battle for Azeroth: Black Screen
By far the only solution to this problem is considered to be the transition of the game to windowed mode and back by pressing Alt + Enter. If this action could not help, then you will need to check if you have up-to-date video processor drivers. It often happens that your video card does not meet the requirements of the game, since this problem occurs mostly for a similar reason.
World of Warcraft: BFA: Controls Not Working
Make sure that only 1 input device is working (if necessary, disable unnecessary ones). In addition, if you play with a gamepad and it does not respond to pressing the keyboard in the game, try to use any Xbox joystick emulator (for example, x360ce).
WoW: Battle for Azeroth: low FPS, lags, freezes, slows down
Here, first make sure that you have the latest video card driver update. If everything is fine with this, then in the video game options it is recommended to disable the anti-aliasing effect and lower the settings related to post-processing. Changing them will not greatly degrade the quality of graphics, but will greatly affect the increase in performance.
WoW: BFA: freezes at boot
Most often, the reason for freezes during loading is the operation of a graphics processor (video card) that does not meet the minimum system requirements of a computer. Provided that if this is not in your case, then you need to check for driver updates and, if necessary, install them.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth No Sound
First, make sure you have up-to-date sound card drivers. To do this, open “My Computer” - “System Properties” –- “Device Manager”. We find the sound equipment, press the button with the mouse button on the right and update.
Provided that the update of the card drivers did not work, then you can try to disable the Realtek application while starting the game if your PC has a built-in video processor.
Well, naturally, you need to check if you have selected a sound playback device in the options of the video game itself. If everything is OK with the options, then quit the video game, then open the mixer and check the sound settings here.

At the first step, try to check if there are signs in the Russian layout on the path to the game application - if they are present, the game will not start.
The second step is to try to launch the video game on behalf of the admin.
Also, more often than not, a real error can appear only in the situation when specific errors occurred during the installation. When your computer meets the minimum system requirements, then perhaps reinstalling your video game will help solve the real problem. To be more likely, do not forget to turn off the antivirus during the installation period.
WoW: BFA: not saved
First of all, make sure that the path to the game save folder does not have Cyrillic characters. Next, try to check if the "Read-only" property is set for this folder. Remove if necessary.
The real problem arises from incompatibility reasons. Try to run the game in compatibility mode for another OS. To do this, use the Compatibility Fixer tool.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth: no Russian language
Localization difficulties can be easily resolved. All that needs to be done in such a situation is to open a small file Engine with a text editor. Ini at C: \ Users \ User_name \ AppData \ Local \ WoW or OriginsGame \ Saved \ Config \ WindowsNoEditor \ (depending on whether you have a licensed or pirated version), find the words Culture = en_US and replace the English language en_US with Russian ru_RU.

Here we finish for now. We believe that these tips have helped you find a reasonable solution to all problems. We are glad that we were able to help you!
And they are already ready to plunge into the world of brave warriors, cunning robbers and wise magicians. Brave paladins are also worthy of choice =). But what if you run into an issue where WoW isn't working? Or maybe it just does not start and gives an incomprehensible error? Let's see what the problem might be. I want to make a reservation right away that most of the problems can be solved in the two most common and affordable ways.
1. Removing the Cache, Interface and WTF folders. These folders store temporary information as well as add-ons and data collected. Quite often, the contents of these folders can cause problems with textures and graphics in WoW, incorrect operation of the interface, and so on. Of course, it is unpleasant to delete add-ons, download them again and configure, so the folders can be simply moved or copied. And then restore what does not cause problems with the game.
2. Using the Repair.exe utility, which automatically fixes most problems in which World of Warcraft does not work. Damaged files, an incorrectly installed patch, an under-downloaded language pack - the utility will fix all this automatically.
It is located in the root folder of the game. It should be borne in mind that the utility checks all files with the game in order to fix problems, so the process can take quite a long time. Traffic is decent too - avoid using the megabyte rate when restoring the game client.
Still won't launching WoW?
If both methods did not help and you still have problems with textures during the game, quests are not completed, or the NPC refuses to talk to you, then you need to solve the problem using other methods. In case of problems with graphics, try to update the drivers. Although the developers have tried to implement support for all common video accelerators, problems still arise on some configurations. Stripes appear, characters lose parts of the textures: head, arms, legs. It's unpleasant to play. Check with Blizzard's technical support the cause of the problems, specifying the exact configuration of your computer.
In the case of the disappearance of key characters, the inability to complete the quest, or, it is best to write. Often times, such problems in WoW arise simply due to the fact that developers accidentally erased a line or two of code. The quest will be credited to you or they will answer how to cope with the difficulty. Another problem is that the game does not work if you have an English-language game client installed, and you are trying to log in under a Russian-speaking account. Just download the required language pack from the official site http://www.wow-europe.com/ru/downloads/elp/ and the problem will be solved.
Also, do not panic if you enter the game and see that all game servers are down. Periodically, Blizzard performs server maintenance, for example, during the installation of new patches. During this period, the servers are turned off. The completion time is usually announced in the news on the home screen of the game.
Thus, all technical problems when WoW does not work are solved by Repair.exe or by deleting the required folders. If it does not help, write to technical support. With game problems, it is better to immediately write to GMs, since in most cases you cannot do anything - the source of the problem is on the Blizzard servers themselves.
