1.32.9 SERVER UPDATE

Blizzard said: December 14, 2020 Hello. We’d like to acknowledge that a new build of the current version of Warcraft III: Reforged was just made available. This update addresses a server issue and contains no player-facing changes. Thank you!

 

[Boar]

You better rebuild and fix your "no player facing changes" blizzard. vJass no longer works and my own map now crashes.

Can confirm.
I made a fresh map and took some vjass code from this thread: [vJASS] - Globals and Scopes inside (scroll down a few replies)

Same problem. vJass didn't work cause my map crash.

 

[Kyrbi0]

vJassers:
NO MY BEAUTIFUL CODE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS BLIZZARD

Me, a GUI-intellectual:
*Yawns loudly* ; )

 

[MyPad]

A sad fate for vJASS. Is Lua mode alright tho?

 

[GIMLI_2]

Almost two months to finally get another downgrade, hooray!

 

[Shar Dundred]

Is Lua mode alright tho?

If it is, wait for the next update.

Almost two months to finally get another downgrade, hooray!

What did you expect? XD

On a serious note, how did they break vJass if it was not intentional?

 

[FeelsGoodMan]

I'm not one who normally complains every time Blizzard releases a patch, but this is almost comical.

 

[Chaosy]

Under other circumstances, I would say that blizzard does not have any obligation to support a third-party language.
But as they include it in the standard editor now.. well..

 

[maddeem]

Man it's hard to believe that Blizzard used to be a respectable company that had QA down.

 

[DaneTheBeast]

did they just release the most minimal non-player-facing patch possible and still managed to downgrade? That takes skill

 

[Himperion]

Patch my words, if the game ends in Release stage it will be in 2022.

*Feelings hurt at ACTIVISIONblizzard: 0?

I believe in your feeelings!

 

[Prometheus3375]

Huh, probably, due to this issue they will also fix their awful vJass integration? Because debug mode has not been working since 1.31.

 

[Lizreu]

All as it should be. A tragedy becomes a comedy.

Thanks, I lol'd.

 

[knight26]

Almost two months to finally get another downgrade, hooray!

I actually spit out my drink reading this lmao.

 

[7oda]

How did you feel posting this here after finding out they broke another core feature of the game.

 

[chopinski]

Look's like the intern taking care of the whole game forget to compile the new version with the JASS helper in it suhaushauhsuahsuah

 

[Stefan.K]

And I was secretly hoping for some big update...

 

[A]mun]

^ same here, xmas around the corner and all...

Do i have to hope for the 23th now?

edit: don't read the official forum thread, it makes you angry and sad

 

[Prometheus3375]

If you are unbale to develop and test your map now due to vJass issue, this guide might help.

 

[Ugabunda]

Is it really just vJass users that have troubles?

I'm using GUI and experience crashes in my map which I never did before.

 

[DracoL1ch]

Same. Getting random crashes all over the place in my custom maps

Are either of your maps using Lua scripting mode (even if you are using GUI) and are you getting crashes with testmap or in games you play on bnet? And do your maps use folder mode in the editor?

Also, if you are willing to share you GUI maps with @Kam he might be able to get them to be looked at.

 

[Ugabunda]

I don't use any Lua in my map, but occasionally some Jass to clean up leaks or create lightning effects.

My crashes happen during "Test map" (ctrl + F9). The weird thing is that until yesterday this map never crashed while testing. To be sure it's an external change and not something within my triggers, I tested an old version of my map, and this old version now also crashes randomly.

To exclude any more factors I also re-started my PC, but again experienced a random crash after testing for 2 min. Unfortunately it's really random when it crashes; sometimes after 2 min, sometimes after 5 min, and sometimes I can test for 10 min without crashing...

@Kam If you would be so kind to look at it, here my map Land of Legends v0.1.46 | HIVE

 

[Marshmalo]

I am crashing in custom games which were generally stable before, what is going on! How can a server issue patch cause problems with custom games?

WC3 players are clearly just trash to Blizzard now, no investment is being made into this product, is this some form of punishment for complaining over the shitshow that was Reforged launch? We complained about the product so Blizzard have abandoned it. There are many people that had faith in Blizzard fixing this mess and didn't refund, what have we been left with now?

As a long time custom map maker I'm losing hope and patience with this, we wait for months for a new patch and we get another downgrade that, once again, makes things worse. I don't want a Refund and I don't even care about Reforged anymore, I just want WC3 to be restored to what we had before and all the missing features back.

 

[TriggerHappy]

So you are crashing while playing maps in battle.net and not while testing through the editor?

 

[HungryHusky]

Have some reports:

1. Even after making a copy of my map and deleting all triggers, the crashes still happens.
2. The crashes only happens when using test map from the editor and not when playing it form the game itself (singleplayer).

So it seems to be an issue with test map and not triggers. Hope that helps. @TriggerHappy

 

[Juveqis]

Honestly, all of us who continue to work on something related to Warcraft III are masochists.

They've been kicking, hitting and spitting us for 1 year and we keep visiting forums or working on our maps.

True, but what more does it take for y'all to use an older version or at least wait until you make sure the latest patch is safe?

 

[Chaosy]

Version 1.0 master race.

 

[Devalut]

 

[Homor]

At this point the biggest upgrade they could give the game is scaling back to 1.31

 

[Chaosy]

I still want the graphics update tho :-/

 

[7oda]

Very true lmao

 

[deepstrasz]

And I was secretly hoping for some big update...

I guess, they forgot the other patch notes.

 

[7oda]

Yeah they forgot to add:

• And uhhh... we broke some other core features. Enjoy.

 

[Mr Ogre man]

Game crashes even when it's just for testing a custom unit (no GUI-Jass-Lua involved). It gives 10-20 seconds of respite and then crashes. Yay blizzard, thanks a lot.

 

[Archian]

Hmm, indeed. This update seems to have broken many things. Including the test map function.

@MindWorX @Kam

 

[Jouven]

If Blizzard manages to have more stuff broken than release when the release anniversary arrives, that will be a new bottom I couldn't believe possible

 

[Map Designer]

True, but what more does it take for y'all to use an older version or at least wait until you make sure the latest patch is safe?

am I the only one who still have my 1.26 copy?

I also have 1.30 copy but I never use it to create maps because I want my maps available for greatest number of players possible.

Edit: my 1200th post

 

[Himperion]

Reforged is the wife in a stagnating marriage of 7 years, and 1.26 is that old flame who found you on Facebook, failing to temptation is admiting taking a really bad life choice xD

At the end of the time, this is a communication problem.

If the DEV team took their time to explain what is their priority during this initial patch run, and explained that the graphics team was going to repair models and how that isn't done by the same team as the code monkeys, people would have been more forgiving.

Even releasing a list with bugged things, that have been solved, could at least frame the efforts on the Devs on a better light, because that chicken footprints patch, looks like a bitchslap to those who still believed on Reforged.

Edit: my 1200th post

I'll never go back.

And even if I did I would go for 1.29/1.30 for widescreen and new natives.

 

[Jouven]

AFAIK it's the 1.3x versions that started crashing custom maps, but some users seem OK¿ with that because more natives
I keep playing 1.28.5

 

[Brian Bastos]

Hey, anyone here know how make the map stops to crash?

 

[Kyrbi0]

I still want the graphics update tho :-/

but why tho

 

[Map Designer]

I'll never go back.

And even if I did I would go for 1.29/1.30 for widescreen and new natives.

well If I am sure 1.31 is easily used by everyone I would make my maps on it, but I dont think there is cracked version of 1.3x so I must be sure maps playable in earlier patches.

but yes i have 1.30 for this screen and for @Warseeker campaigns since they are not compatable pre 1.3x sadly

 

[TriggerHappy]

You might be able to use the PTR editor in the meantime.

 

[Chaosy]

but why tho

Because wc3 by default looks like a drunk 4 year old made the models. The textures are good for what they have to work with (aka low poly and low resolution)
I know some people like the old school graphics, but I really don't and I cannot understand why.

I don't think reforged is ideal either, but for me it's a dozen times better than the old.
