Here's some more technical info for those interested:ĭefault farclip limit hex value: 00 40 42 44 WoW.exe - WotLK 3.3.5a - WotLK/TBC + Vanilla zones - Same as above (although this one is because the signature doesn't match since the file has been edited). WoW.exe - WotLK 3.3.5a - WotLK/TBC zones - It seems like the WotLK executable gets picked up as 'malicious_confidence_65% (D)' by an antivirus on the virustotal list, this is a false positive, however you can follow the instructions on how to patch the executables yourself below if you wish. Usage: when ingame type in the chat '/console farclip 1-10000' without the quotation marks. WoW.exe - WotLK 3.3.5a - WotLK/TBC + Vanilla zones

The value is actually capped at 10000 with this patch.Įdit: apparently WotLK had two farclip value limits in place, one for WotLK and TBC zones, and a second one for Vanilla zones.

Vanilla seems to reach diminishing returns way faster than TBC and WotLK, I'm not sure if that's because of the older engine or if I just chose a bad zone.

The value will reach diminishing returns at some point (see Vanilla vs and TBC vs How good the game will look will depend on the zone (some zones have more fog than others).

If the value is set too high WoW will crash.

If the value is set high enough WoW's graphical engine will at some point reach its limit, even with powerful hardware.

The higher the farclip value, the more it will affect performance (obviously).

See this (Vanilla 1.12 & TBC 2.4.3 - Permanent FoV fix (patched WoW.exe)).

Both executables from TBC and Vanilla have my FoV patch included.

All executables have been patched with the LAA (Large Address Aware) flag, which I believe will help avoid some crashes at high farclip values.

Let's start with some eye candy, here are a few screenshots. This patch unlocks the '/console farclip value' command available in all WoW clients.
