Wow unable to start up 3d acceleration / Gforce 500 serie graphic card

Support Technical Support
1

hello
today i downloaded wow classic for the first time , after trying to launch the game i get the error wow was unable to start up 3D acceleration , i searched around in forums , google , youtube …etc and tried every trick ( run as admin , reset game config from bnet , disable full screen optimization …etc ) and still nothing , i saw couple posts with same problem and those people has Gforce 500 serie graphic card as i do ( Geforce 540m ) , i played wow legion with this laptop without a single hitch or problem so i don’t understand why i have a problem with 15 years old game , i was so hyped to try classic today now i’m very disappointed

EDIT
not sure if this useful

The game might be 15 years old, but that does not mean the codebase is 15 years old.

WoWClassic is not the old 15 year old game, it is a reskinned and trimmed down WoWRetail, with the old classic database.

However that particular error you are getting is mostly caused by an overlay such as GeForce, or Discord interfering with the graphics card calls. Try turning off ALL overlays.

3

If you create a new windows account, and try it there what happens? Sounds like a registry/driver issue. Which version of directx do you have and what is your OS?

4

i did turn off the overlays of discord and the Geforce already , and still nothing sadly
edit:
after couple hours of tweeking the game launch but with white screen , i can hear the game music and see the game cursor
i used windows 8 compatibality to be able to launch it ( to white screen) , if i tick it off , its same as before = 3d acceleration error

5

Can you attach a dxdiag? Not only to make sure your hardware meets requirements but also that it’s recognized by your pc.

Hi,
You should be able to play WOW Classic with a Nvidia Series 500 card. Typically the error you are getting is because the game is unable to launch as it can’t find a suitable graphic card.

The most common cause for this is drivers, so I’d check that you have the most current drivers, and perform a clean install of those drivers.

hello

i tried a clean GPU driver install but to no avail , i really tried every method i found on the internet , i never ever encountered any problem like this in any game including blizz games

EDIT

here is the DxDiag https://pastebin.com/2Z1iPr5b
hope the link works

Did you also installed drivers for Intel iGPU? The game sees both and can moan about lack of Intel drivers even if using Nvidia. 540M looks like still supported from the Shader Model requirement. If needed I can recheck on one of my old devices with similar mobile GPU.

Grasping for straws here, but maybe open Nvidia control panel and force the game to use the right GPU just in case the auto settings want to use integrated graphics for whatever reason?

i did that too even before posting here , i re-installed GPu drives both nvidia and intel , the only progress i got is when i tick windows 8 compatibility the game launch into white screen with ingame music on and mouse cursor but that’s it

11

BTW did you open a support ticket?

an update:
-so i re-installed my intel graphic driver , same thing
-i changed the .exe from wow classic to wow and launched it with intel graphic instead of the nvidia 540m , game launch without a problem , but it doesnt launch using nvidia card settings .
this isn’t a solution to be honest , just a band aid , the question why its not working wth nvidia ( i did a clean install for the nvidia driver ).

i can see the nvidia graphic in game settings ( nvidia and intel )

13

Can you change to Nvidia there?

The game has a habit of checking driver versions. 540M uses legacy driver which has lower version number than the current so it may be that there is a overly eager version check on the drivers or GPU family name.

14

sorry for the very late reply , yes i can select NVidia in game settings and it works fine as long i launch the game with with intel graphic option
