# 🛠️ 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.
