Technical Game crashes on adjusting graphics

[Sindralai]

Just downloaded the folder last night to start playing, launched with the WOW.exe file, logged in just fine. However, I'm trying to up my resolution to my standard 1600x900, but every time I touch it to adjust it even a little the game instantly crashes.

Any assistance is appreciated!

So I found a workaround by editing the Config.wtf file in my WTF folder. Here are the settings I use (full graphics, windowed maximized), edit them as you need to, save the file, then launch the game.
