Can't get better than 1600x1200

[31venture]

I did all the things and graphics still 'small' on a 2560x1440.

Win 11, NVidia -> Enable resolutions not exposed by display (checked)

Config.wtf -> won't keep the changes I make. Keeps reverting to the initial unmodified
Resolution fix in config.wtf -> won't stay set, keeps reverting to initial unmodified

Dedicated GPU -> TurtleWoW isn't in the list of apps under display. un/installed several times, did a registry clean

Windowed -> always set in the game

VMMfix -> set to '"1" on default, changed to "2"

VanillaFixes(1.5.2) -> doesn't fix it

Not using any patches or custom models

game folder whitelisted in Windows Defender

second monitor unplugged before game load, and displays duplicated -> no change

UPDATE: This seems to be a combined Lenovo / NVidia / Win11 issue.

My Win10 -INTEL graphics- Lenovo running just fine.

Hello. In the NVIDIA Control Panel, set the resolution and refresh rate specifically for the WoW.exe program, and the issue will be resolved.

Thanks, but I don't think there's any such option in Nvidia Control Panel? (not the OP but I have the exact same issue)

Hello!

This is old guide but nothing really changes https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/cu ... solutions/
Please give it a try before drawing conclusions

Thanks again Pepesmite, I still can't find any option of forcing a resolution for a given executable (WoW.exe), and whatever I do to config.wtf gets overridden by the wow client: if it can't find the resolution, it resets it to 800x600.
It's not a big deal though, I've set it to 1280x1024, which just about fits on a 1920x1080 screen (with black bars on the side).

I'm having the same problem. Since the last patch, the resolution is broken and the game is unplayable. I've tried everything you have listed pepe and it does not work. Also NVIDIA does not allow you to set custom resolutions for games anymore, that guide is out of date and no longer valid at all.

Everytime I try to set config to 3440x1440, it automatically resets to 800x600. It did not do that before the most recent patch.

Hello - @Pepesmite is there any update on this? It's something I am also experiencing.
At one point it just fixed itself and displayed the full resolution list but now its reverted back to limiting me to the same as OP

The new launcher supports tweaks and settings without requiring technical expertise.
Enable DXVK in the launcher and see if that resolves your resolution issue. If not, try enabling MultiMonitorFix as well. Even 4K at 240 Hz (3840×2160) should cause no issues at all if you enable DXVK.

Hi Bowser,

Sadly, neither of these fixed this issue for me.

I did, however, play around with my Adrenaline software and add both the wow.exe and vanillafixes.exe to the game library. From there, I enabled Radeon Super Resolution for both, launched both, and both had the full resolution list.

I imagine this is probably coincidental, but I thought it was worth noting.

I've now turned them both off, and the resolution list is still full.

This certainly doesn't appear to be a fix and no doubt will reset once I close down my PC.

It works if I unplug all monitors and use the built-in laptop display: Glorious 2560x1600 rez. But as soon as I plug a monitor back in, whether before, after or with the game still running, it's back to the old 4:3 resolutions only (800x600) - even if I set it to something else, including the native resolution of the monitor in question, before plugging the monitor.

And yes, tried every single one of the things listed, dxvk installed etc. The "multimonitor fix" results in a critical error/fatal exception on launch, so can't try that one.

Reporting back that for the last week, it appeared to be fixed since my previous post. Now that the update has come out (whatever that means, backend), it has reset the resolution. Again, possibly a coincidence?
