Pandaria MoP 5.4.8 Stopped Working

[TheSteveMann]

Hi, i've been playing on Frostwolf (Mists of Pandaria) since a week ago after switching from Icecrown and now it seems it stopped working.

It wasn't like this until just this morning, when WoW just... stopped working. I could see the game's cursor and that's about it. Only a black screen, the game cursor and nothing else. No sound at all.

I installed MoP through the minimal installer and it worked fine until just this exact day.

WoW was working fine on my other PC, despite the disgustingly inferior specs it has. I tried selecive startup mode, unclicking read-only, reinstalling, windowed mode, and nothing works.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds like a DX9 /DX11 issue.
To at least get the game to show up do the following:

Go to game installation folder
Go to WTF folder
Open (with Notepad or similar) the Config.wtf file.

Alter the following lines:

SET gxWindow "1"

And

SET gxMaximize "0"

This will start the client in a "small" window and (most likely) will be visible,
so you can change settings through the ingame menu from there on.
You probably want to run your game on D3DX9 on a maximised window setting to prevent the black client,
which happens on Win10 OS a lot.

You might even want to change that to the Config when you are editing it:

SET gxApi "D3D9"
