The Game Won't Open on My PC

[lunarman]

I have went through the installer multiple times and restarted my computer but the game still wont start. I open it and i see a black screen and it minimizes. I open it again, see a black screen, then it minimizes. I cant get to the login screen to play. Please help!

Please try this fix from another post, and run the game with as administrator:

If it says: set realmlist login.nostalrius.org

inside your realm list.wtf file, try copying and pasting this with textedit over whatever is in your config.wtf file:

SET hwDetect "0"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "1366x768"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET gxVSync "0"
SET gxMultisampleQuality "0.000000"
SET gxFixLag "0"
SET fullAlpha "1"
SET doodadAnim "0"
SET lodDist "80.000000"
SET SmallCull "0.080000"
SET DistCull "350.000000"
SET frillDensity "8"
SET farclip "200.000000"
SET particleDensity "0.300000"
SET movie "0"
SET readTOS "1"
SET readEULA "1"
SET realmList "login.nostalrius.org"
SET realmName "Nostalrius Begins"

I'm interested in knowing if this works. There have been similar threads where people can't open WoW, it just goes to a black screen with the cursor and music in the background, and the fix has typically been to change the monitor's resolution (It was set to 1366x768 but changing it to 1920x1080 fixed it). It seems either setting the config.wtf file to match your monitor's resolution or changing your monitor's resolution to a common resolution fixes the issue.
