Whenever attempting to run the game the game would almost immediately minimize. The solution is to open Config.wtf and add the following

Code: Select all

SET fullAlpha "1"


This start WoW in windowed mode.

Hope this helps anyone having problems.

Hey Hydra,

I'm having the same issue. I open the game, can hear it in the background for a couple seconds. but it minimizes. When I click it, on my taskbar, I can hear it again for a couple seconds before minimizing again. I tried this solution but it doesn't seem to work.

Do I need to copy and paste both Code's in your post? I tried both of them and still nothing.
