World of Warcraft Forum

hey everyone,
as many of you i had a few performance issues (less than 20 frames per second on low graphical settings) when following the c4p install.

I found one possible solution for the problem:

What i did was:

Create a new XP bottle
Install the core fonts
Install modern directX component.
install the Visual C++ 6 and 2008 redistributable

Copy over a pre-installed windows installation. And delete the config.wtf file.
Then run the wow.exe file through a "run command"

reapply all graphical settings as you like them. Et voila your game should work at decent framerates (i'm getting 80 fps) and good sound. System specs found below.
