I recently changed my rig and was ready to play me some wow,, but every time I try to change video options the game crashes, this does NOT happen if I change only the audio options.
I tried the above suggesting to change the "read only" option (which is not checked but greyed out) but the change reverts as I close the properties window, I read somewhere that I had to change the admin properties of my account on windows so I did that.
I downloaded a fresh copy of the client (wotlk with wod models)
I tried updating my drivers too, everything is up to date
I tried changing the config.wtf file to make the client use directx 11 instead of 9
Nothing, I can only play in 1024x768 (the default), any video change minimizes the game and it stops responding forcing me to terminate the process
I am out of ideas, any help would be appreciated
My system specs:
MB Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero
CPU AMD Ryzen 3600x
GPU AMD Radeon RX 5700XT
RAM Corsair vengeance LPX 16 GB 3600MHz
SSD Adata XPG SX8200 pro 512 GB
WELL, I FEEL LIKE AN *****, I went and tried compatibility mode with windows 7, disabling the fullscreen optimization, running as administrator and applying those changes for all users, and it works!! Let my tale be known for those that might run into a similar problem in the future. Also, I didn't revert any of the changes previously made, just in case
