I had this and the only way to fix it was to use https://github.com/brndd/vanilla-tweaks ... tag/v1.5.2

I tried compatibility modes, tweaking graphics, etc before but nothing worked.

I use Windows OS so it was just downloading, dropping the .exe over the WoW .exe and then using the WoW_tweaked.exe it made from then on to play.

Hello. Here is the well known solution for your issue guys.


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. "800x600".
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.
