Game is invisible when launched

[degranite 0]

Heya!

So I downloaded 1.21 from thepiratebay and unpacked, changed realmlist and all that jazz but when i launch wow.exe I can hear the game sounds but the game is nowhere to be seen. 

 

I've looked around abit on the forums but not seen any ways to solve this issue so any help or advice would be appreciated

try lowering your resolution had the same problem

do you have more than 1 monitor? check the 2nd one

Huh. Lowering to 800x600 worked. Now I feel like a doofus for it being so simple.

Thanks!

For games that freeze or black screen or can't see game window ( anything related to Direct X ) you can try this to fix it !

 

I had a issue where my game would just freeze and or crash sometimes even leading to a blue screen.

I simply went into World of Warcraft\WTF\config.wtf  and modified the SET gxResolution to 1920x1080 so it would look like this

SET gxResolution "1920x1080" I also added this code line     SET gxApi "d3d11"        to make sure the game used direct x 11

 

Make sure to add the right resolution for your specific monitor ! Mine was 1920x1080 , but your could be different !

 

My laptop is a xps 15 l502x in case you wanted to compare maybe.

 

You can always try to run it with Direct x 9 as well, 

File location bellow
World of Warcraft\WTF\config.wtf

code line to add in config.wtf text file bellow 

SET gxApi "d3d11"

SET gxApi "d3d9"

 

 

Keep in mind that you only pick on of the code lines (d3d11 = Direct X 11)   &   (d3d9 = Direct X 9).
