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 :D

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.

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.
