Method #3: Network Fix
This is one of the common methods to resolve the issue as suggested by the users on Reddit. Error WOW51900319 could be caused by network latency issues.
According to some users, the network latency issues occur when a game tethers over a $G LTE connection.
So, How to fix the Network latency issue in World of Warcraft?
- While playing game, press Esc icon to head to main menu settings.
- Click on the System tab and go to Network Options.
- In the Network tab, uncheck the option ‘Optimize Network for Speed’.
After making the changes, the game restores to its original network protocols. As a result, the game delays disconnection as the game does not optimize according to the network.
Instead, it sticks to its network protocols and changed the pings time. This way, network protocols and ping time do not line up together which could solve the issue.
Method #4: Use an Ethernet Cable
Due to the tightened network latency, users might face this issue. When connected to Wi-Fi modem, the servers do not respond appropriately and may cause it to slow down.
Even If Wi-Fi connection offers high-speed internet, it may still cause issues due to the fluctuations in the network. In our opinion, Ethernet Cable is a great option to reduce tightened network latency.
Ethernet Cable consists of fiber optical cable and does not fluctuate much if your ISP is good. It offers high speed and bandwidth when connected to the same ISP as the Wi-Fi.
Most of the users have considered the use of Ethernet Cable to fix error WOW51900319 while playing.
Method #5: Make Use of VPN
Sometimes, overload of servers in a particular region due to unlimited number of pings could be the possible reason for error WOW51900319. This is because the server cannot handle too many requests at the same time.
If this issue persists, you can try using VPN and change your location to some other region. The VPN will connect you to the server of the region that you have chosen. Choose the region which you think is less crowded.
Method #6: Log Out of Battle.net
Error WOW51900319 can also be caused due to long login sessions. This issue is particularly due to the server lag in response to your account.
You can try refreshing the Battle.net software to check if it works well.
To do this, simply log out of the Battle.net account and log-in again after few minutes. This way, the server will keep up to the network request.
Re-login and Launch the game to check if the issue still persists.
Method #7: Uninstall and Reinstall the Game
If the above methods do not resolve your issue, you can try to uninstall and re-installation of the game.
- Firstly, create a backup of your game on Battle.net account.
- After the backup is created, delete the game from the system and remove all the residual and cache files.
