🛠️ 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.

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.

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.

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

A complete WoW reinstall is not required.
