Sets the value of a CVar to its coded default value as returned from GetCVarDefault()

Examples

• Returns all CVars back to their default values. Note that a message will appear "You do not have permission to perform that function" but that is normal behavior because of some protected cvars.

/console cvar_default

• Sets the maxFPS CVar back to its default value (100).

/console cvar_default maxFPS

Details

• Resetting the WoW User Interface by deleting the game client or WTF folder does not completely reset your CVars.
  • If the WTF folder is deleted (while the game client is not running), then Character and Account-specific CVars will be restored from the last known values on the server (CVar synchronizeConfig) instead of any default settings.

• This is different from the "Defaults" button which only resets the CVars set from the interface options.
