Resolution issues? Here is the FIX![GUIDE]
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 5:59 amHello, I recently had some issues with not being able too select my monitors native resolution in game, alto it worked fine in other newer games, after searching the forums and trying all the fixes listed in diffirent threads I managed too fix it myself.
I will be writing a guide combining all the fixes from others on the forum and what eventually helped me.
Before you even go ahead and try any of these fixes, make sure too update your drivers!
I am not responsible for any issues trying too do any of these fixes may cause! If you do encounter any issues, make sure too change the settings back too what worked before!
Fix 1: Try too enter the "Config" file in the WTF folder, find the line that says "SET gxResolution "XXXxXXX"", and change it too your monitors native resolution. Example: "SET gxResolution "1920x1080"
Fix 2: Open up retail a retail wow client and log on too any char, this seems too somehow magically fix the problem for a lot of ppl. If you do not already have a wow account, making a free trial account is 100% free.
When you open your Nostalrius client again it will say something along the lines of "New hardware settings detected" and ask if you want too reload settings, choose NO.
Fix3: Do you have multiple monitors with different resolutions connected? If so, you might have too force them all too run at the same resolution.

Fix4: If none of the above fixes helped you, your issue could be that your Nostalrius client is running off your Motherboards integrated GPU instead of your actual GPU. Too fix this you will have too go into your BIOS. How the BIOS settings will look varies from different motherboards, I had an MSI-Z97 and can only show my options.
Go into Settings - > Advanced -> Integrated Graphics Configuration. In there make sure you have PEG selected.

Edit 1*: A lot of ppl tell you too just go windowmode and stretch the screen. This will most likely NOT change your resolution, and will just stretch your screen, making your char look fat and short. However, you could try this as a first option just incase.
