Resolution stuck in 4:3 with a 16:9 monitor

[dickdefrag 0]

Greetings,

Wouldn't be posting here if I haven't already tried everything:

• manually changed config.wtf and marked it read only
• installed retail WoW, ensured resolution was good and tried elysium
• disconnected my other monitors
• run as administrator
• This is not a laptop, so it's not trying to use some onboard GPU

I'm completely stuck at this point. I want to play at 2560x1440 or at least 1920x1080, but these resolutions are not listed in game, nor is the refresh rate. 

I'm very open to any suggestions.

Thanks

 

 

 

EDIT:::
Solved! When launching retail WoW you actually have to make a change in the settings and save, make sure config.wtf is no longer read only for vanilla WoW and you should see 16:9 resolutions (however I don't see 2560x1440, highest is 1920x1080 but this is a huge improvement and maybe I'll figure this out)

Not that I have a solution, but just to confirm it is possible: 

I get up to ultra-wide as an option.

It may well be that this is a limitation of the hame engine
