I receive this error an any computers which I did not legitamately install the game. Note, I own the game, but to quickly get a copy on another copy (for LAN when friends come over), I copy the game across on a USB. Works perfectly, but it renders the game unpatchable!

Only computers with Warcraft 3 properly installed on them can be patched. Did you install this game properly?

Hive does not support giving advice as to what to do with pirated software - I would recommend getting it legally as it deserves it and is very cheap due to its age.

Also you might want to look at something like an already updated version if you absolutely have to go the other way. But well, since you want to play with an old cracked game, here is some old advice that might help: Link

Or do a search for it: Google Search: Stuff

Best advice: Sacrifice the 10 bucks for it: Wc3 - Digital edition (And you can likely find it even cheaper).

Yes because you have not patched the game...

I advise you log into battlenet and allow the auto patcher to do its work. If that does not work, try running the patch installer as an administrator.

no i cant when i run the patch(as admin) it says "the progm was unable to find the file required for patching file name - war3.mpq "

but that file is there around 400mb
what to do

you should try to just upgrade in rising order, like from 1.00 to 1.10 etc

is it neccesary
but i think new patch has everything

anyway i was dowloaded 1.21 &1.22 & 1.26

where i can find 1.1
i tried in google search for that and most site's downloads were old and down

sorry for my english


when i click on patch it says"the system cant find the file specifed war3.exe sometimes war3.mpq"

what's your current game version?

He posted that in his original post


Now I don't like this since I believe that the price for Wc3 is so fair it should not be necessary for you to use the pirated version you clearly are, however as I also see no point in discussion this further:

Latest patched version with installer:
Direct download link

I'll remove this link in two days - This is a patched version with installer which should solve any installation problems you have - If you do have a legal version or get one, use the key to register it legally


Other than that the only alternative I see it for you is the check if your trying to install Frozen throne without Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.

Edit: Yea post 4200 looks so neat :grin:
