[Archive] Malformed Packet Connection Issue
[Archive] Malformed Packet Connection Issue
Original source
Hi There,
I have been recently trying to use the 4.3.4 Cata repack. However, when i try to connect to the realm it gets stuck on the connecting screen.
When i checked the world server logs it was displaying the malformed packet problem.
I then searched the support forums here for other people who were having this issue. I found the fix suggested by replacing the "libeay32.dll" and the "ssleay32.dll" with ones from OpenSSL. However, if i do this option, the auth server will refuse to start and spit out the error code "00000v7b" and then immediately close.
I would appreaciate any help.
Thanks.

UPDATE: I have managed to resolve this issue. The cause was that i did not have the 32-bit version of the C++ 2008 Redistribute installed. Installing this solved my problem.
