hello, I updated to season 4 but after i did so the game client won't start. When i click on the Engage button it gives me this message-

unable to start game client: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I have win7 64bit, all the latest drivers installed and i tried verifying it by picking force verify in the options menu. I also made sure it was running in administrator mode but still no luck. not sure what i should try next.....

    you could try renaming the gameclient.exe and have the launcher download a new version

    if you are using win7 or vista be sure the launcher and gameclient exe are set to run as admin

    i tried that, still nothing. i would love to try season 4, but if theres no fix for this im just going back to wow. i would reinstall it, but that means ill have to download the patch file again and with my isp i have a bandwidth cap and i'd prefer not to redownload all that again. anything else i can try?
