Malformed Packet Connection Issue

[Shaz1300]

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.

Glad to hear!

sorry to necro and all but I'm still having this exact issue 5 years down the line, and the 32 bit redist is no longer hosted by microsoft, and I can't find it anywhere
