- How to setup Turtle WoW on a Windows PC. If you're having any trouble, you can comment below and I'll try to help, or join the official Turtle WoW discord and ask for help there.

I'm working on new videos for addons and client fixes/tweaks. Until then, you can use my previous outdated guide: • Turtle WoW Client Fixe...
This guide is for the English client and European realms, for the Chinese client and SEA realms, use cn.turtle-wow.org.
Black screen fix:
SET gxWindow "1"
SET gxMaximize "1"

This is a really, really solid tutorial. It's quite easy to follow and it's very clear. I think this will really help people who might be less experienced with this kind of thing.
are you here also because they absolutely wrecked classic with the last update? lol
@@thepirate4095 Nah, I enjoy basically all forms of WoW except for Cata Classic. I'm here because I think Turtle WoW (and other modded servers, like Ascension) have some really cool ideas. I've been loosely following the project for a while now.
@@borga6566 Ascension WoW had something for me 2018-2020 sadly it got weird for me after and I didnt like it
Thanks. DL'ing now. Time to get my WoW back on. Looks like I will like this A LOT!
I was just now watching the old video. Thank you for this.
Thank you very much for this guide!
Used this just to reinstall very well made guide
Nice video for new players, but any reason you changed your last video to “outdated”? All the info is still relevant and vanillafixes, vanillatweaks, audio fixes, and even nampower are all very relevant changes that really help with the outdated 1.12 client. I thought maybe this video would cover all the old info as well as maybe some new info, but it didn’t go over the other info at all.
I'm making this video focused on just getting setup and ready to start playing for new players. I'm making more videos about the client fixes/tweaks and addons soon. A lot of new players were confused by my previous video thinking they had to install VanillaFixes, vanilla-tweaks, and nampower to play the game.
thanks! just started playing :)
i'm downlading it right now 🔥
I would like to see, more information on other mods, how to get them and get them working ect, auction house mods. UI mods , thanks for the info and nice videos.
excellent guide. EXCELLENT
Hello, have a question, what version addons can I use ? sorry I'm new in this that's why I asking :) I'm old fashion guy, never use mods or addons before I decided to play wow once again, still have CD in my house from Classic times and BC, never even reach lvl 60 :D
thx mate, followed your guide and worked like a charm. Before I look somewhere else, could you tell me where I get addons?
The community keeps a collection of working addons here:
turtle-wow.fandom.com/wiki/Addons
thanks worked perfect.
only shows up 60hz screen resolution, also my client turns black and if i change from windowed to fullscreen, this issue makes it so i have to reinstall it...
Already tried restarting computer.
what a lovely video!
Only showing up to 1600x1200, try to restart but nothing new. No second monitor connected.. what can I do? Thanks in advance
This happened to me too, the fix (for me at least) was just installing any updates windows had, and it was fixed from there on out.
"We'd like you to choose a fantasy name if possible."
First character seen: Exetank -_-
Thanks dude
Vro i just downloaded it but it is lagging while my pc is gaming pc plus i downloaded the hd models but when i opened it shows shattered characters then error
Hello! Thanks for posting and sharing this. Will this work for US, or strictly just the EU?
for your information the servers are originally from EU meaning there are no US servers, that's why he keeps saying EU servers. You can consider it the NA/EU server, the other ones are for Asia exclusively. EDIT: Yes, you can play in the US with no issues and relatively no lag.
i did the download , i lvled up but for some reason i cant speak in world/general/trade chat i did everything, even chatted with a dev and still cant figure it out
i cant see quests, where i need to kill, I don't know where to go :D is there any guides in game or tutorials where to finish quests ?
Everything worked for me, the old video and the new one, but I had a small problem. I use a double screen and when I switch from one to the other with Click, the wow gives a small blink. You always know what it could be?
So im living in asia and downloaded the Asian Client but its obviously in chineese. any way to change the language from chinese to english ? Any help appreciated
is there a way to bind left mouse as interarct butto instead of right mouse?
Rebooted PC and my resolution still isn't listed
great guide, how do I change the language though? I have a Spanish wow with the right update but idk how to put it into turtle
Can't register my account. Also can't get ahold of support. They have no good way of contacting support.
Is it the same for North American servers I'm not sure I'm just looking into turtle wow to see if I wanna actually get into it.
so wait would this work on windows xp and vista or just win 7 and up?
problem is how to uninstall?
I want to play but their website client download keeps getting me this -Failed - network error- every time i get to 7.4 gb of download. Tried it like 5 time already, even with my antivirus turned off, same problem every time, just does not work. Any alternative download that works?
@sundeopanda I did manage to download it, can't remember if it was from a torrent or not, anyways, thx.
If i want put addons, what version should install?
I just cant put the resolution on 1920x1080. really wanted to play on this server but this way I have to find another, unfortunatelly
thanks a lot !
I dont have my resolution in setings. Max 1280x1024. Restart dont work, Video cart AMD Vega 64x
How can I play this in a different language? I have a friend who speaks Spanish, and she can't play when it's English.
Thanks ric
I got a problem with the resolution, it only works on 1600x1200 and my monitor res is 2560x1440. It only works if i disable and enable the graphics driver from device manager. I must do it at every restart so is frustating..
Sometimes the game only shows resolutions for a second monitor you have connected. The simplest solution is to just pick any resolution that's 16:9 like your monitor. No matter what, the game is always displaying at whatever resolution is set in Windows, so as long as the ratio is the same, nothing will be stretched.
Anyone know how to make the Discord overlay work with turtle wow? Discord wont recognize the game when I try to register it
I can not extract files. Alert says that access is denied
Hey man, I'm having trouble with addon on Turtle wow. I follow instructions : dowload, extract, rename but none of them are implementing into the game. Any tips on a small thing i seem to don't see ? ty man :)
One common issue is that extra folders can become nested. Make sure the structure looks like this (using pfQuest as an example):
Interface\AddOns\pfQuest\ *in here should be all the addon files, including pfQuest.toc*
ty man. That's what i have with pfquest and its works. For all other addons it goes Addon/ addon-master then all files. Is there something i shoould modify ? @@ericschn
u need to remove the master name from the addon folders
Weird. My account is good, and I can log into the website/forum. But when I try to login to the client, it tells me my information is Invalid. WTF?
It could be issues with your ISP connecting to the client, try resetting your internet modem. If that doesn't work, ask on the support channel on the discord and they can help.
Nice video But I have a problem with it. Everytime Im trying to play randomly between 5 - 90 minutes my pc crashes andI get a grayish screen and then my pc reboots. It only happens with WoW I don't have that problem with any other game its just WoW but WoW in general it happens on every client (Vanilla, WOTLK, MOP) Does someone experienced the same issue and/or fixed this?
u need a new pc mate
Any ideas on why there isnt a WoW.exe or WoWFoV.exe showing up in the extracted folder, but everything else? It's in the zip folder, but doesnt seem to want to extract?
It wont run the non extracted WoWFov.exe either :( Tried multiple downloads and extracts - same issue
It seems some people have been having issues with antivirus programs falsely flagging the exe files. Windows defender doesn't seem to have an issue with them, try disabling any third-party antivirus.
Wish private servers had a similar download/launcher as ascension... Just easier for everyone - I can imagine these hoop make it difficult for potential new players trying to join! Thanks for the help@@ericschn
Does this need a monthly subscription to play, or is it free?
Its free! Gonna try it tonight!
Its normal to select a refresh rate like 144 and when clickin it okay and open the video options again its says 60hz?
Yes, it should be displaying at 144hz even if it says 60hz in the video options. Make sure Vsync is enabled and hit Ctrl+R to see your in game FPS to verify.
@@ericschn ty so much
Would it be possible for you to develop a client for Mac and make it available for download. I think that otherwise not many people are willing to buy a program like Parallels for 100 euros a year to play.
If yours is an Intel Mac, you can play with Wine which is free. If it's Apple Silicon it needs to be ran with a virtual machine (VM). Parallels is suggested because it works the best, but other VM programs may work as well.
@@ericschn
Thanks for your answer. I have an M2 Mac. Do you have a recommendation for a free VM?
I also experience a blackscreen issue for 3 seconds when using windowed mode + maximize since the latest update, it's caused by vanillafixes tho, but i don't want to remove it, cause it fixes so many issues
Yep it's annoying accidentally clicking "Windowed" in the video options then having to edit the config file. Did you get it working again?
For the VanillaFixes issue, you can edit the dxvk.conf file to fix the blackscreen when alt-tabbing, add this line:
d3d9.enableDialogMode = True
If that doesn't work, just delete the dxvk.conf file and it will still work with only a slight performance loss.
damn, you are amazing, this line fixed the issue,thanks a lot eric :D@@ericschn
Is Vanillafixes and vanilla-tweaks not good any longer?
They're still fine, I wanted to keep the new setup video simple and without addons or mods, since a lot of new players thought they were required to play the game. I'm making new addons and mods guides in the future, the older guide can still work until then.
Thank you! Great vids by the way! @@ericschn
Is there a way to make the game look less blurry and pixelated? I really want to play turttle wow but this old versions looks terrible.
There is an HD texture mod you can find on the forum or discord. If your game looks worse than it does in my video here though, it may be settings related. Make sure Windowed mode is enabled, and it's also safest to get a fresh client from the website.
@@ericschnDoes that mod update to the new models? I've read there's a HD patch that updates to the WoD models and I def don't want that.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
macbook pro A1502?)))) possible?
Intel Macs can run the game with Wine, Apple Silicon Macs need to use a VM app like Parallels. Check the guide here:
turtle-wow.fandom.com/wiki/Installation_Guide#MacOS
@@ericschn Unfortunately I will not be able to immerse myself in your project, to run on my old Mac, had to install two utilities, one of which is not compatible with my software, the latest available version of macOS 12.7, and the utility needs 14++.
I will have to keep playing wov classic on the official server 😩 😩
Does anyone know if turtle wow works on macOS native?
Thx, I restarted but only 1600x1200....why ? :/
The list of resolutions showing up can be affected by having multiple monitors, if you have more than one monitor try unplugging all secondary monitor cables from your GPU then restarting your computer. If that's not the issue, you can try adding a custom resolution via your Nvidia/AMD driver software and that may make it show up as an option.
i cannot extract the download file
One question, could it be put in Spanish? Thank you
How laggy would it be for an aussie 😅
im from argentina, can i play this serveR?
Sooo is the discord for TWoW like not a thing?
it is
hey I keep getting an error saying "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." is their any way to reslove this?
Shoot, so I can't have a character named "KneeGrow". That may be a deal breaker
Can I use it in wow classic hardcore?
There is the hardcore challenge only on the PvE realm.
Im gonna make a female pally tank with a milkers pseudonym thx bro 👍
skip the intro movie?! why I'd never!
it auto skipped it anyway
😢
I just downloaded it today thanks for the nice video but I have a few questions
Does auto loot not exist?
My quests don't auto follow
The map doesn't show me where I am suppose to go to do my quest
If anyone know the answer let me know please
mfer expects retail features on a vanilla client
go download some addons/mods they'll fix your first world problems and inability to read through quest texts
@@IVPixel 😂 get a girlfriend, you won’t be so grumpy all the time
You've probably already fixed it by now but nonetheless, here's the fix.
1. Go to the Turtle WoW Wiki page and click on "Client Fixes and Tweaks" under _Quick links_.
2. Next, scroll down to the "Vanilla-Tweaks" section and follow the instructions.
_That should fix the auto loot problem._
As for your other questions. I think these addons should help:
- pfQuest
- pfQuest-Turtle
- LazyPig (_Yeah, that's the name of the addon lol_)
Hope this helps.
Is this safe?
Does this work for US NA?
By any chance did you find out?
@@Dingy1010 yeah I was able to download the zip and it worked fine for me, I’m in California if that helps!
@@TheFilmArchives same here hell yea brother
@@Dingy1010 Whats your characters name? Maybe we can play together sometime!
@@TheFilmArchives Popepwnedict, finally decided on horde priest haha.
Do they have a US server?
By any chance did you find out?
@@Dingy1010 they do not
my game keep crashing idk whyyy
The game with no addons or mods should run on pretty much any Windows computer from the last 15 years, you can try asking in the official discord with more details.
why u looking so tasty
No support for ultrawide? The resolution is there but it looks absolutely terrible. Hard pass
old graphic no ty😂
