Okay, so first of all, READ the thread https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1100.

there you find many more good hints, tips & tricks to use.

after that, you might want to see your CP (control panel) in windows, and check video & monitor perferences to get a list of supported resolutions.

Open config.wtf (it's not config.txt as in your post) in the WTF - directory, and search a line similar to mine:

SET gxResolution "1600x900"

and change the value gradually up towards the maximum that game runs well.

I have a laptop with a "medium-quality" radeon, and runs perfectly on 1600x900, but some lower resolutions give same "chubby, crappy etc" results as you mentioned.

I set up the file config.wtf "SET gxResolution "1366x768" and too "SET gxResolution "1600x900", but when i enter on game only accepts resolutions 800x600 and 1024x768 and as I said maximized looks very bad. the point is that before the change of video card the game showed me the choices 1366x768 (which is mine) and many more ... now with my AMD RaDEON this options disappeared. I post to see if anyone knows a setting or something that will change the AMD video card ...before had a NVIDIA.

(i tested all on ur link for edit with -console and this dont work for me)

I just saw in other forums that many have the same problem and is not solved by changing the config.wtf or anything everything mentioned, the problem happens when you change your video card and found no solution please help me i need play wow :(

Greetings,

move your wow installation from under Program Files to somewhere else, to ensure that you can actually edit the file instead of Windows reverting your changes back. That already could solve your issue.

i have my wow on C:/WOW ... not inside program files :(

the game will not even let me switch to other resolutions like 1280 or 1600 , when I click to switch to one of these it becomes me to 1024 or 800x600 , and you repeat that setting window is maximized and all evil and stretched me, the problem here is that before changing video card AMD Radeon Nvida to play widescreen resolutions showing me more and I walked perfect. I think this version does not support the wow my video card :(

very thx anrey really.. but with ur configuration my wow is very scretched , the problem is that before I could change my pc quietly put my resolution from the video options, and I give up and cease to play, try everything and spend hours searching for an answer forums , I do not understand that this affection, I buy a lot better than the previous pc... It should be an issue of compatibility with the wow 1.12.1 because try other versions of the wow and my choice 1366x768 (wide) appears...
