Everytime I open the client via wow.exe in the directory, it opens with default graphic settings, including the default resolution of 1024x768, (instead of 2560 x 1440), all the graphical options are reset to default, and the client will not remember my account login name.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I be opening the client a different way?
Follow these steps:
1) Restart your PC
2) close your Torrent client and move your WoW folder away from your Torrent's download destination
3) now right click on WoW folder> Properties> remove "read-only"
I had the same issue. I put the 'Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a (wod models)' on my desktop (just took it out of the folder I had it in. Then make a shortcut to the WoW.exe inside the Wrath folder and put in on your desktop. That seemed to fix it for me.
Initially i thought I had to do with having the Wrath folder permissions set to read only, but that didnt seem to be the problem.
