Black screen after changing resolution to "2560 x 1440" windowed mode

Post by Wollepetry »

Hello to all,

I have a graphics problem right at the beginning of my SoloCraft career.

The first thing I usually do in new games is adjusting the graphics settings. So I started to set the screen resolution to "2560 x 1440" in order to match my screen resolution and activated windowed mode. Right after I checked the box, my screen turned black (not entirely black, the grey-ish black that tells u u are still in the game window). Normally, it would then show the game again, in windowed mode and the resolution that I set. But this time, it stays grey-ish black. Also after exiting the game, deleting the WDB and WTF folders and restarting wow.exe, it returns to only showing the black screen.

So I can't even reset the graphics settings to original, because I can't see the interface.

What can I do to get it to work?


Kind regards

Wolle

Hello!

Black Screen Fix:

1) Navigate to WoW folder > WTF folder > config.wtf.
2) Open with Notepad, locate "SET gxResolution".
3) Adjust to your screen resolution, e.g. "1920x1080".
4) Save the file and start the game.

Windowed Mode Fix:

1) In the same config.wtf file, find "SET gxWindow".
2) If it's missing, add it.
3) Set its value to "1" for windowed mode, "0" to disable.
4) Save and play the game.

Follow these instructions :)
