Just built a new computer, WotLK client crashes on startup.
I played wotlk succesfully on my old computer. I decided to build a new gaming rig, and now the client crashes on startup. I've tried retorrenting/reinstalling etc. all the usual stuff.
The crash goes like this, I start the client and get frozen black screen with tons of window resizing and my 2nd monitor goes a bit crazy, followed by a very loud unpleasant high pitched sound. Then it tries to play the game trailer but is frozen at the start. If I hit esc it goes black again and then eventually gets to a frozen cursor over the EULA agreement you get when you first run the game. Can't get past that.
It feels like a resolution issue because of all of the resizing, but I changed my monitor to 1280x1024 and a few other settings and the problem persists. Is there a way to run the game in windowed mode without needing to get into the menu to set it to windowed first? I'd really like to try that. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
The system is windows 10, The important specs are:
processor: i7
video cards: 2x GTX 980 ti
Thanks
