So, I just installed the client, but when i try and launch it, it launches the game and then tabs out. It continues to tab out of the game every time I try to tab back in.

Hi Fuddyduddy,

Where did you get the client from?

Is WoW installed in Program Files?

Paste the contents of your ...\WTF\Config.WTF file here so I can check a few settings.

Thanks.

This is a complete guess but it sounds like it's trying to open in full screen mode but can't hold focus so append SET gxWindow "1" to the end of it. This will start it in Windowed mode. You may also need to modify "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\WTF\Config.wtf" as well, try without first.

Code: Select all
SET gxWindow "1"
