New to this, cant open game

[randomorc1]

Hello!
New to Nostalrius, and whenever i launch wow after the setup or from the desktop shortcut, the game will launch, and then minimize itself. whenever i try to open it or alt tab in, it'll just reminimize itself again, making me unable to play. any resolutions to this problem? Thanks

Go into your WTF folder and edit "Config.WTF".
Change the variables to the following before you start the game again:

Code: Select all

SET hwDetect "1"
SET gxResolution "800x600"
SET gxWindow "1"


Worth a shot.

This is good stuff. I swear to God Aunstic I'm gonna update my guide one day with all your info.

Update: this works, but it is in a smaller resolution then I would like and would prefer to play on a larger screen.
is that possible without this problem reoccuring? thank you though for at least getting it to work in the first place

Just change the resolution to whatever your monitor is at.
