Playing WoW on Windows 10

[calygvla]

I've tried playing WoW MoP on freshly instaled Wind10, but it won't start. Any solution for this? Also, i've tried to run retail version, and it said that realms are incompatible. Any solution?

Try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comment..._10_now_world/

They said it works on Windows 10, and these people have some solutions for the problems that come up. The first poster sounds like they have the same problem as you?

You should have made a 2nd partition to update your windows. Then you could keep playing on 8 untill all is working on 10.

Yeah, if only explaining that to the average Windows user was so easy. Lol

Try running WoW in compatibility mode. This solution usually works for me if some program randomly stops loading or behaves strangely.

Here's how you can do it.

Find your Wow.exe file. This is probably located in C:/Program Files (x86)/Activision Blizzard/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe.

If you don't know where it is just try searching for it in your File Explorer.

Now that you've found your Wow.exe, right click on it.

Select "Properties". This should be at the end.

Once you're at the properties, go on the "Compatibility" tab.

Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box.

Select your previous version of Windows or one that you know your WoW client worked on in the past from the drop down menu.

Here's a screenshot I made showing you what it looks like. This was taken on Windows 8 but I can't imagine it's changed much or at all on Windows 10.



Once you're done, press "Apply" or "OK". Load up WoW and hopefully you should be good to go!

Good luck.

Regards,

Mark.

Did you remember to reinstall your graphics drivers? The ones that come with Windows 10 are basically enough to use your PC no much further than browsing the internet.

You will need to download your Nvidia/AMD drivers if you want WoW to load up.

Tnx for advice :) will try it all

This is precisely why you should not rush to upgrade at the first opportunity.

Like Kemii sayed it...instal the latest Nvidia drivers and all will ve ok.
I had the same issiue.nothimg was working (it looked like a peace os...you know what) but after the driver instalation...all run well and smooth.

I just downloaded Windows 10 (free for 8.1) and the game is working for me :) It seems to have more high definition, and if you press windows and G, you get some settings options for your game. Hope it works for you soon :)

Make sure the realmlists are set right too (read some other threads on here about logging in) and that the Win 10 download was complete... maybe try clicking to run as administrator also if it is opening slow, though that opened 2 wow clients for me bc impatient.
