Cannot change screen resolution

by blackshadows » Wed May 06, 2015 11:05 am

Hi all, yesterday i tried to change the screen resolution of the game since it's 1024x768 atm, i wanted to change it to 1366x768 but i can't find it nowhere into the option panel, tried with the in-game console as well but nothing, what else can i do? Thanks for the help.

May I ask, are you playing on a notebook ?

If so, the reason could be the 'dedicated GPU'.

- Right click your WoW
- Select "Run with graphics processor" & make sure its not started with "integrated graphics" which normaly is the default one but the dedicated GPU.

I assume your notebook has an integrated dedicated nvidia GPU.

Try following:

- Right click on Desktop
- Select Nvidia Control Panel
- Click 'Manage 3D settings'
- Search for WoW Process/exe
- Select preferred graphics processor

Edit: nothing into the ATI control panel too, uff

Okay. - Have you tried updating your GPU drivers?

There's another way to set your resolution.

Just open ur ...\World of Warcraft Classic\WTF (WTF) folder and open the 'config.wtf'

- Search for "SET gxResolution "1920x1080" and just edit it there.

Make sure you remove "read only" & just add SET gxResolution "1920x1080" & save
