    WoW Modernization Tool v2.3 Stable

    github-actions[bot] released this 2026-09-06 19:22:45 +00:00 | 8 commits to main since this release

    🛠️ WoW Modernization Tool v2.3

    This update focuses on better compatibility, safer WoW.exe patching, improved recovery, display-scaling support and DXVK configuration.

    ⚙️ 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.
    • Render Distance now keeps the executable Farclip ceiling fixed at 3000 while synchronizing the selected runtime value to WTF/Config.wtf, preventing stale higher Farclip values from conflicting with WoW_Modernized.exe.

    🎨 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

    • Added an optional DXVK FPS limiter that detects the highest refresh rate of attached displays, prefills that value and remains manually editable.
    • The DXVK FPS limiter is enabled by default for new configurations, persists per WoW installation and is disabled in DirectX 9 mode.
    • DXVK exclusive fullscreen is now disabled by default to avoid black screens during Alt+Tab on Windows.
    • The Tool window now adapts better to Windows display scaling and smaller screens, keeping Apply Setup & Tweaks accessible.
    • Expanded automated tests for installation ordering, recovery, executable patching and DXVK FPS configuration.
    • Improved rollback behavior to reduce the risk of partial installations.

    ✅ Updating from v2.2

    Download the new executable, select your existing WoW folder and click Apply Setup & Tweaks.

    A complete WoW reinstall is not required.
