Warcraft 3 patch 1.22

Okay, JASSNewGen users can despair. I've went to Wc3c and it seems JNGP is taking a month to release the next version.

If you replace the World Edit.exe and worldedit.exe files with those from 1.21, then JNGP WE works fine (grimoire does not yet). Recommend you back them up before patching, or get them off someone who hasn't patched.

Or just desinstall/reinstall and keep the old and the new worldedit.exe.

It takes less than 5 minutes ...

Also some minor new features were added to Warcraft 3 which many players may find quite useful. To crown all of this, some additional new melee maps have been added to be used in standard melee to liven it up a bit.

Patch Details

However all may not be as good as it seems. Many people have reported problems with the update. Updating to 1.22 may sometimes fail with an error message supplied by battlenet or even the program in charge of installing the patch. Many useful third party tools like WEU and JassNewGenPack fail to operate after performing the update. Finally many loyal Warcraft 3 melee players say that some of the melee balance changes were not enough or were in the wrong direction.

Thus sadly this patch is not as well accepted as the previous patch (1.21), which removed the need for a CD to start the game. Hopefully, however, any problems with this patch will be fixed soon (especially with third party tools like JassNewGenPack.

At least mac users will be happier thou as it seems some audio bugs have been fixed.

I have the same problem as Gath_Stormer. I have no chance, to start battlenet. I install new and all is okay - after upgrade there is no possibility to enter battlenet. I tried several times (meanwhile 3 hours). There must be a mistake/bug in this patch.

What shall I do?????????????

I've found a different solution.
There is someone at wc3campaigns who uploaded the 1.21 version of World Editor, allowing JASSNewGenPatch to run just fine. At this moment I'm trying to find out if Grimoire works fine with it.

For the cheat command maxfps yes ofc you can use it only in a solo game.
But the value is saved and apply in any another warcraft game.
And i still don't see the feature ...

@ Troll-Brain
Thx, i will try...

- Fixed DotA-specific sound effects on Intel Macs.

Basically the max FPS was an option in the registry that had to be configured manually.

By them doing this it enables one to atleast have some controle over it.

Basically the only point of it is to save system recources by stopping WC3 rendering more frams than it needs. Or in the case of a faster updating screen, more frames to take advantage of that. The value is also probably saved in the registery.

patch works fine for me [knocks on wood]

Eh? Explain?

Anyway I got mine on the europe, It works just fine.

For those willing to work with JNGP, you can download 1.21 version of World Editor here.
The download sends you a worldedit.exe file.
Go to your Warcraft III folder, you already have a worldedit.exe, iconless. Back it up somewhere where you'll remember, and drag the downloaded file inside the Wc3 folder. I repeat, DO NOT OVERWRITE, back the current worldedit.exe somewhere where you'll remember.

Idem dito

Sucks!! In my opinion they made the two strongest races stronger and NE the weakest race weaker, also I don't think i can get 2 level 32 again :( + gotta play with allies that suck like one of my allies massed ghouls all game.. I really do hate these ladder resets + Patches that can affect my gameplay, atleast they didnt make units weaker, just gotta avoid getting dryads as much now.

still no fixes for chanced orbs
