Holy shit vanilla-tweaks actually fixed the issues I had with twow. Somehow the game would start to stutter after a while but with this patch it doesn't anymore
For anyone who gets a false positive from Windows Defender it's due to any modification of a .exe file resulting in triggering Defender. It does not have a virus and this is a problem with many similar mods on PC and most pirated software. The easy way around this while still keeping a PC secure is to whitelist a directory to not delete the file here are the instructions for Windows. I whitelist my entire c:\games directory because I like modding and install all games under it. support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26 The modifications of Vanilla fixes and Tweaks to the EXE include memory modification due to the limit on legacy 32 bit programs. This is the same kind of modding we did on old games like Mass Effect (before the remaster) to be able to install texture mods without memory crashes. The only risk you take when playing Turtle WoW is having the same username, password as other important things you use because data can even be breached at billion dollar companies (like Microsoft). NEVER use the same username or password for a private server. Create a throwaway email like protonmail or something.
I don't know why I get pummeled with this. I did step for step and get a fault when vanilla fix goes to open saying extract into same directory as WoW.exe. I titled the file WoW.exe says it can't find it. Weird!
Links here. This is the one you drag wow.exe on top of to turn it into wow-tweaked.exe that you rename wow.exe github.com/brndd/vanilla-tweaks This is the DXVK performance improvements. Launch game with this after creating the new wow.exe github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes This is nampower that fixes ping. Just drop contents into same game folder. github.com/namreeb/nampower
Can try capping fps to 1-2 below monitor or use gpu specific technologies like ultra low latency on nvidia that do it and can be combined with gsync. At super high framerates things can get glitchy with the old client.
Can you explain nampower a little better, you just say like drag to folder, or extract, but on the github there is a load command. Like from 4:03 in the video to 4:58, that section should be a lot more clear.
@@hackintosh3899 the only files i see in the nampower archive are a few text files and 3 folders: .github, loader, and nampower. extract all that? or...? (i also read somewhere that vanilla fixes now includes nampower on its own. can you confirm it's no longer needed separately?)
I checked DXVK pages and on this thread it seems inside small areas where the FPS spikes to absurd levels this can happen because the client is so easy to run. github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/3129 Simply set a FPS limit in the driver. On AMD I believe you do it with the Radeon Chill entry for the game. On Nvidia you just change the cap. On Nvidia and Gsync I run the ultra low latency option and vsync and gsync set globally and it seems to give the best in game latency because it can run at the actual fps cap of the monitor. If you aren't sure about all that just cap FPS at 1-3 below the monitor until you get no clipping. There is no advantage to running FPS faster than your monitor can display. Gsync/Freesync and not going over the monitor cap is all you want.
Make sure vanillafixes.exe is in the same directory as the wow.exe. When you extracted it you probably got it in a folder where the wow.exe is. You want all these files in the same directory as wow.exe. So simply drag them over. The instructions are pretty much create a backup of the wow.exe and name it something like wowbackup,exe. This way you can always start at step 1 (though you may have to patch the game by logging in first). You drag Wow.exe on vanillatweaks and you should get wowtweaked.exe. Rename it wow.exe so vanillafixes can find it. Launch the game with vanillafixes.exe. Nampower is automatically loaded by just being in the directory. Hope it helps.
Do u happen to have the right zip file for "vanillafixes"? The one am trying to download has troja virus, and microsoft defender stops the downloadning from completing.
They should have a link to it on the official reddit in a sticky post. If it flags that it's a false positive because it has a dll file. MS is not a fan of Vulkan API because their entire OS monopoly revolves around people using Direct X.
You have to add an exception for vanillafixes it injects the wow.exe with something which windows looks at as a virus or w.e Idk all the technical jargon lol
Any executable that has been modified will get a false positive from Windows Defender. You can whitelist a directory in Windows so Defender let's it though. I usually install all my games to C:\games and whitelist the entire directory because I like modding a lot and modding often triggers the defender flag due to modified executable.

Holy shit this works perfectly!

"I'm in argamar"

yeah i got the same error! did you ever fix it?
@johnnydrakos6407 negative. Actually whichever is the one that let's you one click auto look is working? But the frame rate performance one isn't.
ok i fix it by changing the name of WoW.exe to just WoW hope it works
@luismatheu4496 omg ill try this
wow that worked! thank you@@luismatheu4496

Whenever I install vanillafixes, my game gets the 132 error and won't open. Any ideas?
I like nampower, but it causes some animation glitches while casting & mining. You know how to fix this? Great guide btw

Nampower works automatically when you launch the game with vanillafixes. Unzip the files to the wow.exe directory.

doesnt work anymore. no more turtleFoV in the client
the problem is that the character model disappears while inside buildings, caves, what not.

@@hackintosh3899 Thank you for the swift response, limiting the game's frame through nvidia control panel worked. You are awesome :)
@@blueshadow3794 Awesome :).
