Bug Report

[HuanJuan]

Slaves of the Demons Act 2 Chapter 3
"Do not waste my talk with petty talk, pitlord. "

 

[nchp1903]

There's a bug in The Southern Realm that causes Shredders to not receive bonus HP from High Quality Production. Also, not sure if intended or not, but Aggressive Expansion unlocks Cannon Towers instead of increasing Shredders' lumber harvesting capacity like it said in the upgrade's description.

 

[averagestudent.]

some bugs I notice
The new orb of queen keera doesn't summon skeletons when she kills a unit

in the burning forest i force the holy battalion to attack the rohir nexus and i notice that krom the saint(forgot her name sorry) and lera doesn't spawn back when they died

I think it's because her lifesteal item is basically a Mask of Death, which is an Orb, so the effect of Orb of Darkness is overridden. You can only see the effect when Keera is attacking air units, but since they don't leave behind corpses, I don't think Dark Minion will be spawned.

I think it can be fixed if instead of giving her 50% lifesteal, the sword gives her a Self-Only Vampiric Aura that gives 50% melee lifesteal instead.

 

[Shar Dundred]

The main reason why I gave her an orb was for the air attack rather than the skeleton summon.
I'll look into it though ofc.

During LoA:TTSoA (Latest Version) Dark Secrets chapter, when you encounter with Rahandir. During this encounter, after cinematic, if some of your heroes are died and you finally defeat Rahandir, the game does not go forward. You are stuck there. Yes, the Main Quest require that all heroes must be alive and survive, but somehow during the fight with Rahandir there is no instant Quest Failed or something. You have the illusion that the Main Quest is buggy, and you can make it. No, you can't make it. No, there is no instant Main Quest Failed or something. This time I played with WCIII 1.29.2. Is this considered a mentionable bug, or I just wasted my time again?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I'll take a look at it.

 

[Kaftarepir]

It happened to me too bud the first time I passed the mission

[HuanJuan]

I even using 1.29.2 WCIII to play the campaign. I hope you like my christmas gift.
... At the same time, I want to wish merry christmas for everyone.
Update: The chapter description was good after I reloaded the map. So, I think it's not a big deal?

 

[burning]

Shar, something a bit weird happened. Basically I own an original copy of Reforged and they added custom campaigns with patch 1.35, i started playing your campaigns on Reforged. On human and orc campaigns every chapter worked, the undead campaign stopped on chapter 5 . Today i tried to finish the second human book and the golden guard storyline stopped after the purification chapter right before the final chapter (which doesn't show up on the chapters list). I don't know what to do, how do I make the chapters appear? (first undead book and the second human book have chapters that don't show up. I am playing on Reforged).

 

[Shar Dundred]

Not supporting Reforged, can't help you, sorry.

Shar Dundred, Sir. I have a Bug Report for you:
In the CHAPTER Southern Realms: There is a bug where if you skip the scene that involves Grella unlocking her bloodlust, the game considers the Destroyer (The Demi Hero) to be dead, Even though he was alive about 10 minutes in my game.

 

[HuanJuan]

WC3 1.29.2 LoA: TTSoA, Siege of the Dead Mountain chapter

In other areas than the base of the Undead, I can't summon buildings on blighted ground, except Necropolis and Gold Mine. When I want to build there, it's green, but the game doesn't allow me to do, because it's not blighted ground. Here is a picture for example:

Spoiler: Is this the Demon's true name?

Is this an easter egg?

The next update should fix that.

I think it is because of the "height" you are on, WC3 does not recognize the blight on certain height levels.
At least some versions of it don't, I think.

Is this an easter egg?

I don't see a picture.

 

[HuanJuan]

I don't see a picture.

To be fair, Blight seems to be unapplicable on the larger maps (480x480) or the map with "larger" width/height. Others reported it on the forum as well.
Maybe see this:

[General] - [BUG] Undead cannot build on Blight

Hello, I made a melee map in whic the UD cannot build on blight (???) and I wonder how this bug can be fixed. I googled this problem and some people say it's because of the haunted goldmine's blight that is not working, but I build a necropolis far from the haunted gold mine and its blight is...

[General] - AI not gathering gold and can't build on blight

So I've encountered two weird problems. I don't know when it happened cuz I wasn't checking it regularly. So the first issue is that AI won't enter a mine to gather gold for some reason. No matter how far or close I'll place it to the town hall or if I change the race - it won't work, they will...

Shar is right it's the height and version together, this is the only map we got at the moment that has such a huge difference in elevation where it can actually come into effect. I play on 1.29 and 1.30, the latter does not have the height issue with blight but will sometimes have the build animations bug out and not even in a consistent manner for undead.

Every versions of Warcraft 3, in general, likes breaking some important gameplay elements. The most often one is missing strings, textures, and icons.
Asking about the animations bug (usually happened if you made a buildings for Undead and Night Elf race or units instantly lying on corpse after getting killed while hexed/polymorphed or something similar), it's obvious too. You might check out this post for detailed information.

The True Story - Rebellion

After the Liberation of the Village of Essix/ Defenders of Essix, their troops are not attacking Retka's army somehow. They send a wave of troops after Liberation, but after that nothing happens from their side. All of the troops there are guarding their Keep - nervously looking the building like they hating it -, and their attack wave of troops are just keep moving forward and backward within their base.

I tower spammed the crossroad before Retka's Army base, but there is still enough room to come and go - even with siege weaponry and stuff. Probably the tower spamming interfere with the path finding of the Defenders of Essix A.I? Or it's something else?

(WC3 1.29.2 , latest version of The True Story)

Spoiler: A question about screenshots

My WC3 is saving screenshots in TGA format. There is something that I can do for change that format?

I just checked myself it seems 1.29.2 still saves screenshots in TGA format while 1.30 up saves in PNG. I'd recommend getting ifranview just for the ability to save pictures in a different format than what they originally were.

Happy New Year Shar, a minor error.

[Hardric62]

Went for a try of Amari's new Leadership Bonus in The Southern Realm. While the flavor text and the activation one had changed, it still listed the damage bonus for elite units, and no new units was available in the recuitment buildings after doing the research (tried it with Goldenaxe so far, gonna see if it is a 'them' problem, or if it works with other clan picks.

Edit: A few cheat codes-assisted starts later, no option for the new toys appear for any of the clans picked. The damage upgrade for the existing Elite Units doesn't happen either.

 

[Navy45]

Quick bug report for The Southern Realm :
Tested with Cliffhunter and Skullblade :

• Grella gets her Frenzy from the start of the mission.
• Neither Okri nor Amari had their previous items (they just had their base items and not the ones collected in the previous level)
• Amari's leadership still has the old text, doesn't give access to new units and doesn't give any damage bonus.
• Okri's leadership's text still states that it affects ranged units (I don't know if it actually does)
• Okri and/or Amari's leaderships can be queued after choosing another leadership bonus. (you still can only research one but you can waste a ton of money doing it)

Edit : Nevermind about the cache issue, it was on my end.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Uploaded a hotfix, now the changes of the changelog should all properly apply to The Southern Realm.

 

[Zergy]

Oop. Found another Bug in the Southern Realm Shar. Hotkeys for Amaris new Guard units conflict with the barracks' standard clan troops.

Uploaded a hotfix, now the changes of the changelog should all properly apply to The Southern Realm.

I can cast Finger of Death Spell on an infernal, and the Infernal does not take damage.
Is this WC3 bug or a True Story? (Roars in the Forest)
Forged by Iron and Blood: in the cinematic, (when the player killed the Mayor and his troops), there is a typo: Conider->Consider. (Pentiss Sister dialogue to Gardon)

Act 7 Chapter 6 bugs:

Spoiler: Spoiler Warning!

Ironfist Techtree

Questionably Renegade Allies

The unit and upgrade icons are misplaced. Based on the SHB version of the map, the current icon position of the Dragonhawk Rider is the same as the Walkyrie, and it may be the same case here. This may trick the player into choosing the wrong type of unit.

Spoiler: If you really want to be spoiled...

(Forgive the use of Allied Player color here)
The Renegade Red Guard's AI does not aggressively rebuild their army, a far cry from most allied AI. After waiting for some time for them to rebuild, losing some of my army in the process, I decided to just mine their base, as it became clear that they wouldn't rebuild. Could it be a result of misplaced build order priorities, or could Mina have ulterior motives?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I hate it when WC3 does that.
Gonna be fixed in the next update.

The True Story, Act 7 Chapter 3: Dead Forest

I cannot use Seductress "Ray of Disruption" on another Seductress that has Parasite, because it's not a negative buff (both of them are under player control). Is this even a bug, or this cannot be dispelled with Ray of Disruption?

 

[Shar Dundred]

That's a WarCraft 3 thing with Parasite.

Vengeful spiders benefit from melee attack upgrade rather than range attack upgrade

Good day to you guys, I always experience black screen during the cutscenes that even sometimes it doesnt detect my video card for a sec then it goes back.

Do you have an old computer? Because that can be an issue, if you don't have the most up to date drivers for your GPU.

Ryzen 5 3600 RX 570. I tried watching cutscenes on the old versions of arkain and havent experience black screens, only on the newer version. Also tried watching cutscenes on my brother's pc RTX 2060 and still experience blackscreen

If you still face the blackscreen problem during the cutscenes, please refer to the guy's post above. You must have the latest version of graphics driver.
If you get the same blackscreen issue with other games than Warcraft III (ie: GTA V, Valorant, etc), then your graphics card will most likely dirty or broken.
Even worse, your computer might be broken. Please consider replacing the components.
Other than that, please read the spoiler:

Spoiler: Problem

Black screen problem is currently happened if you are using the latest versions of Warcraft III (1.31) because there seems to be a memory leak. This occurred if you attempt to close the game by exiting through the score screen. This might prevents you for seeing the cutscenes or continuing the game itself. You can try playing this campaign on the correct version (1.29.2) because it might be related to the game version problem

 

[Paul Emirique Ibanez]

Already have the latest drivers in both cards and this particular version of arkain I only get black screen. Other campaign mods have no issue

10:27 of the trailer video:

"Salria is more than capable of dealing with these barbarians ourselves"

=> if Salria is the subject, it should be "itself" instead of "ourselves". Or "Salria" could be replaced by "we Salrians".

I could be wrong, if that's the case, sorry in advance.

 

[Landlack]

In Southern Realms mission, Batriders seem to have missing models on my end (1.31, picked Bloodhand Clan and goblin's boni), those shadows around the banner are supposed to be them.

Spoiler

 

[Kasrkin]

Just did some testing on my end for the campaign's usual versions of 1.29, 1.30, and 1.31 so it seems it's a 1.31 only bug. Shar is looking into it.

It's definitely a texture path change/difference. I think I already reported this way back.
See if this one works: Bat Troll (fixedFinal)

 

[Endlesspie49]

I don't know if this was reported before or is intentional. But in Act 1, chapter 6 (Dead Men's March). When you select the Ejara Nexus, the crypt fiend doesn´t have its usual web ability. I am also playing with 1.35 reforged version (which i know is not really recommended, but i haven´t ran into other issues aside from this using reforge graphics by accident), so i don't know if this happens on older versions.

Bug Report: In the latest chapter Release Horse and Rider (Act Seven Finale)
1.) Murloc Juggernaut's abilities (Crushing waves and Ice shard) is having a "Q" Conflict.
2.) Pechan is still doing nothing inside the base. Is his AI broken or something??
3.) Is the GoldAxe suppose to be trainable even though I chosen skullbalde initially??

 

[Shar Dundred]

2.) Pechan is still doing nothing inside the base. Is his AI broken or something??

I will take a look at it. I have an idea why he is being difficult. It might be his ult.

3.) Is the GoldAxe suppose to be trainable even though I chosen skullbalde initially??

Goldaxe comtracts are intended, units not.

 

[Nero32]

Small typo?
"IEnables"

 

[Zergy]

Shar Dundred there's another bug where I can Train GoldAxe troops even though I chosen Bloodhand clan or Skullblade Clan here's the proof.

BUG REPORT UPDATE FEB-2-2023:
Naga Royal Guard's Summon water Elemental is now conflicting with Ice Bolt Again. Better make Water Elemental Hotkey to E mate.

 

[jitao]

Seeing other people's feedback on the latest act, oneeye doesn't appear on my play through.
Also what happened to tier 3 units of each clan? for example berserkers and dragon lancers. If they aren't there, there's very little difference in picking which clan to play as since you only have access to their tier 1 barrack units.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Oneeye was added in an update yesterday.

The elite units are not available due to Bearmen and Golems being available.
