Project Reforged is fully modular — install only what you need, with each component designed to work independently.
Modules marked ⚔️ Kronos are specific to this server.
✅ Compatible with any standard vanilla 1.12 server. If you play on a server not listed on this site and it uses the original 1.12 client without custom content, this is the right patch set for you.
Client Setup
Prepare your game client before installing any patches. Start here.
⚡ Quick Install — Recommended for Kronos and unmodified 1.12 clients
🎮 Patched WoW.exe
RequiredClient⚔️ Kronos
A pre-patched WoW.exe with two modifications already applied: VanillaTweaks and Vanilla Signature Removal.
VanillaTweaks improves several 1.12 client limitations — including sound channels, nameplate range, terrain render distance, and Large Address Aware support (up to 4GB RAM).
Signature Removal is required for addons that enable auto-login.
Replace your original WoW.exe with this file.
⚠️ Tested and recommended for Kronos and unmodified vanilla 1.12 clients. If your client has already been modified, use the Manual Setup below instead.
VanillaFixes is an external launcher that fixes the stutter and animation lag caused by the 1.12 client's low-precision timer. It loads the DLL mods listed in dlls.txt at startup. Use it to launch the game instead of opening WoW.exe directly.
⚠️ Required Addons — The following addons must be installed for UnitXP SP3 and SuperWoW to function correctly. Place them in your Interface/AddOns folder.
🔧 Manual Install — For modified or incompatible clients
🔧 Manual Setup — Apply Patches Yourself
AlternativeAdvanced
For clients that cannot use the pre-patched WoW.exe above. Apply each tool individually, in the order listed.
1. Vanilla Signature Removal
Removes the executable signature check, required for auto-login addons. Download the tool, place it in your WoW folder → drag WoW.exe on top of it. The file will be modified in place. Rename this file to WoW.exe (make a backup of your original one before).
Download the release for your OS → extract vanilla_tweaks.exe into your WoW folder → drag WoW.exe on top of it. This creates WoW_tweaked.exe with all patches applied. Rename this file to WoW.exe.
External launcher that fixes stuttering and animation lag caused by the 1.12 client's low-precision timer. Also loads all DLLs listed in dlls.txt at startup. Download, extract into your WoW folder, and always use VanillaFixes.exe to launch the game — not WoW.exe directly.
Adds modern client-side features used by advanced addons. Download SuperWoWhook.dll, place it in your WoW folder, and add its filename to dlls.txt. VanillaFixes will load it automatically at startup.
Fixes a structural flaw in the 1.12 client that adds extra latency between spell casts. Download nampower.dll, place it in your WoW folder, and add its filename to dlls.txt.
