    [Solved] Warcraft 3 Classic -loadfile doesn't load the map, main menu instead

    Tested with v1.27 Warcraft 3. I wanted to run the game to quickly test maps, windowed mode + loadfile. For some reason it would not load the map and instead boot to main menu: WRONG: War3.exe -windowed -loadfile "C:\WC3\v1.27\Maps\ShowAiDifficulty.w3m" note the -windowed parameter changed to...

    Not sure I understand. You made a thread that's already solved?

    Because it makes no sense to put Solved like there was a problem initially when there wasn't because you already knew the solution when starting the thread.
    You could have just made the thread without Solved, maybe How to or whatever fits.

    Yes I understand your point. Though there was a problem initially and I solved it myself shortly before posting it. One way to circumvent what you described is to pretend that it took me time to solve it after making the thread, and then post the solution in a second post (before any one else has a chance to comment). I am certain this has happened before, most likely in some desync topic where the map author kept digging and found the bug.

    Why wouldn't I choose a "how to" style name? First, of course, that's not how I arrived there. Second, it's more likely for people to websearch "loadfile doesnt work" than "how to make loadfile work" and the problem-solution title is catchier among the results (until SEO websites abuse it to drive traffic to their awful pages).
