[Garylau]

Reinstall is just same, all of that (type of file ) cannot change back to (.exe) again . Can anyone help me change back to .exe file ?

 

[Chaosy]

You're telling me it's MPQ files after you reinstall the game?

Ya , after reinstall still same file type :MPQ .
I try to close my firewall after that i open war3.exe , it's work . Now i think the error crash is not (file of type ) ,and i reopen my firewall that still working . So , what is the error about ....

 

[Garylau]

There got 2 war3 , one of that is .exe file one is .mpq file .This two is connected , if one of them crash , another will not function.

 

[edo494]

Mpq is real type which is used by wc3, sc2(most likely) and even by WoW and Heartstone. It is not meant to be executed, it is more like a zip file, but made just for(and by) Blizzard. Maps are in fact also just mpq archives, with different file type

So how exactly does the war3.mpq crash?

So that u mean any of the file type wont affect to the system ?

 

[Vinz]

It affects the system. Every icon, model, terrain art, everything. They're inside the MPQ. Stop trying to kill the poor creature.

Then I suggest.

1. buy a new computer that can handle games (your current obviously can't for whatever reason)
2. reinstall your OS

There are no logic in that happening what so ever, it feels like on of those troll threads. I don't care.. I'll check out now, cya.
