# 🛠️ WoW Modernization Tool v2.3

This update focuses on **better compatibility, safer WoW.exe patching and improved recovery**.

## ⚙️ Vanilla Tweaks & Compatibility

- Reworked Vanilla Tweaks handling for better compatibility with **Vanilla, Turtle WoW, OctoWoW and compatible clients**.
- `WoW_Modernized.exe` is now built and validated transactionally before replacing the previous version.
- Vanilla Tweaks now runs before other installation changes.
- Improved support for already-patched clients while preserving client-specific loader code.
- Removed overly strict build/version checks that could reject compatible clients.
- SuperWoW now uses the same FoV selected by the Modernization Tool by synchronizing the `FoV` CVar in `WTF/Config.wtf`.

## 🎨 MPQ & Recovery

- Improved MPQ validation to reject corrupted or invalid archives.
- Existing valid files can now be preserved when a remote source is temporarily unavailable.
- Improved offline recovery for supported components.
- Better handling of local installation and permission errors.

## 🛡️ Reliability

- DXVK exclusive fullscreen is now disabled by default to avoid black screens during Alt+Tab on Windows.
- Expanded automated tests for installation ordering, recovery and executable patching.
- Improved rollback behavior to reduce the risk of partial installations.
