For world of warcraft client .. I got it from elysium site when I click on torrent download !

 

https://pirateproxy....orrent/5076223/

 

To download a torrent file you need a torrent downloading software like Tixati

 

https://www.tixati.com/download/

 

I always recommend to download the game client from the Elysium project website to avoid getting hacked !!!!

 

 

1- please delete the 3 following folders from inside your world of warcraft folder

-Interface folder
-WDB folder
-WTF folder

 

2- Start your wow.exe and watch a video ( cinematics ) then close the game . do NOT try to login !!

 

This will recreate your WDB and WTF folder , your interface folder will be recreated once inside the game

 

3- You need to open Notepad then click "File" in the top left corner, followed by clicking  " Open .." Now you will have a new window titled " Open " that will open up. So now you need to click the down arrow next to Text Documents (*.text) and change it to " All Files ". This will make it so you can see the text files from any folder.

 

Now open the realmlist.wtf file from inside your wow folder with notepad and
remove all the content inside of it and add the following line bellow.

 

set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

 

If windows doesn't let you modify the text file , simply take realmlist.wtf file and move it to your desktop. Then modify it from there and place it back inside the wow folder after.

 

Always remember to save and do not rename the file name .. leave it to realmlist.wtf

I would also recommend you double check to make sure the server realmlist has in fact been changed.

 

I would also like to add that some windows 10 players have reported a BUG where after the modified the realmlist.wtf text file , that windows 10 changed the file name from realmlist.wtf to realmlist.txt  .   if this is the case simply rename it to its original name.

 

Make sure to check if servers are up at :

 

https://elysium-project.org/status

 

PS : When you do log into the game , do NOT use your email .. use your id and password you created  and Make sure you are not trying to connect to the QA test realms. The test realms could be the problem that is causing you to disconnect right away ! Pick the right realm !

If you picked the wrong realm , press esc just before you load in this should bring up the server lists .

 

 

If you guys get the ISSUE of disconnecting from within the game world and not from login screen, then try this fix.

 

 

Some people reported that they would get disconnection a few seconds after entering the game world.

 

One player running windows 10 check to see if the game was running in compatibility mode and seen it was on windows xp sp3, when he removed the compatibility mode it solved the issue.

 

I had someone else have the same issue but needed to run the wow.exe shortcut as compatibility mode window xp

 

If you guys get this issue be sure to try with or with out compatibility mode.

For MAC USER'S read this to learn how to modify your text files !

 

http://www.dummies.c...-file-on-a-mac/

 

 

If you have a black screen when you run wow and you're running mac all you need to do is add this into your realmlist.wtf text file after you have deleted the content within it.

 

SET hwDetect "0"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "1366x768"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET gxVSync "0"
SET gxMultisampleQuality "0.000000"
SET gxFixLag "0"
SET fullAlpha "1"
SET doodadAnim "0"
SET lodDist "80.000000"
SET SmallCull "0.080000"
SET DistCull "350.000000"
SET frillDensity "8"
SET farclip "200.000000"
SET particleDensity "0.300000"
SET movie "0"
SET readTOS "1"
SET readEULA "1"
SET realmList "logon.elysium-project.org"
 

 

The forum post link bellow gives the settings needed to fix this MAC issue but has the wrong server address ( resolution may vary depending on your video card / computer or laptop)

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).
