hacks are like diseases. they will keep on adapting to our medicines.

It is known that maphack could be found through a jass system, you ain't going to tell me that blizzard can't keep it up.
Maybe they should hire someone of the hive to solve their noobish problems.

Eccho · Mar 21, 2009

Or maybe add a checksum to every map? That would be great.

Maphack cannot be found through Jass...

From what I hear, there is, but it just fails to take certain things into account (which people abused, thus the exploit).

I don't think Blizz will ever allow that.

Kuhneghetz · Mar 21, 2009

They should have added support for importing ogg vorbis files, since they have smaller size than mp3 and don't have that millisecond silent pause thingy when looped.

Hack detection is easy. ALl they need to do is to integrate a processes scanner. This things already exist...(punkbuster in cod4 for example).

Go and tell that to Blizzard then please ._.

Rui · Mar 22, 2009

I went this morning for a test session with redmarine, and oh my god, is it screwed...
It took nearly a minute just to select a map, the only one that actually showed up in the folder (there were 5 more which were not visible).
Then redmarine joined, it was really laggy, he left, and he came in again, but his previous slot with a frozen download was still being held by a "redmarine". Two redmarines. It was hilarious, pity I forgot to take a screenshot.

If anything, this patch's gonna kill Warcraft III rather than keeping it alive. My call for 1.23b.

I was off with this, I didn't notice the two pages of discussion in between:

I just wish this game became open-source. Why not? Eventually nobody'll be using it and it'd be a great template for indie games.

@Rui
That is hilarious indeed. I just hope we will still be able to have Sunday sessions.

Eccho · Mar 22, 2009

Wonder why everyone is having a problem but me :d

Isn't Warden something like that?

Just_Spectating · Mar 22, 2009

the patch keeps making warcraft crash.

Warden works only for WoW, but a tweak here and there and it might be compatible with Warcraft 3, except that the people at Blizzard have shown how much they care about Warcraft 3 with this crappy patch. >.>

skrab · Mar 22, 2009

Now it lags when i want to join a custom map on bnet -.-'

Oziris · Mar 25, 2009

Blizzard is trying to kill Warcraft so that the Warcraft fans go to WOW!

Light_Kira · Mar 25, 2009

Warcraft 3 is working fine for me with this patch.

I'm a little disapointed though. This patch doesn't really do anything.

Mainari · Mar 25, 2009

This patch does nothing -.-. OH WAIT IT HAS A NEW BANNER AD SYSTEM LETS CELEBRATE THIS GREAT THINGY!
This does not even crash my game. I'm disappointed

I really cant give you info, even my self doesn't know what's happening. My brother uses the same production key and everything and it works, but for me it doesn't. I am having some internet problems doesn't really matter but without it i cant find any info on the internet.

Edit: I have installed the patch somehow and it worked. Still i cant enter the battle net. Even doe it says 1.23.068 something like that.

You mean you bought one game and both are using it? Because that won't work.

Eccho · Mar 25, 2009

It wont work only if they are trying to access bnet at the same time. If one pc is off and the other on isn't there shouldn't be any problem on that matter.

Yixx · Mar 25, 2009

When i tried to enter B.net it showed the normal download screen,, going from 0% to 100% in no-time,,
I had to click the 'Update' button which closes Warcraft (still normal so far)
And then it showed up BNUpdate,, which would pop up an other screen in a split second, saying: "BNUpdate.exe werkt niet meer"
Which means in english: "BNUpdate.exe doesnt work anymore"
(I use Vista) Whenever i try to enter Bnet it shows the message again which forces me to click 'Update'
And then BNUpdate.exe doesnt work anymore =\
So i cant update it! D=<,,
Any solutions?

Eccho · Mar 26, 2009

Update the stand-alone patch.
You can find it mostly anywhere, and it's also up on Blizzard's ftp.
ftp.blizzard.com - /pub/war3x/patches/pc/
scroll down and you will find it among the other languages. If the 1.22a to 1.23a doesn't work, try to download the full stand-alone 1.23a patch.
Another thing could be that you have to run the file in administrative mode. (Right click on the file and "run as administrator")

Craka_J · Mar 26, 2009

I'm very disappointed with this update. It's been how long since the last patch and THIS is what they give us? Despite this shitty patch, I think I'll stick with 1.22...

Eccho · Mar 26, 2009

teh bah. I don't like eurobattle.net

syltman · Mar 26, 2009

Can't get into bnet now. Says that my game v. is invalid.

MGCǂSpectre · Mar 27, 2009

I don't get it, when does the folder show our maps and when does it not?

Eccho · Mar 27, 2009

It seems like the folder you are able to use is only the standard one (at least at me)

Maps will not display if the length of the map name is to long, or if it contains invalid characters.

MGCǂSpectre · Mar 27, 2009

No, here's my observation. It is not the name of the maps but the name of the folder coz I have maps with 25-character name, one of the maps has a ®. If my folder is called 'Space' and I have a map 'Outer Space' for unknown reasons only 1 map won't show out of my 5. If I call it 'Missions' maybe coz 4 of them have that word either in the map description or elsewhere, only 1 map will show (the map that doesn't have that name). So you should either place them in FrozenThrone\Scenario or a custom folder like I did - it should have up to 5 characters. You can call it '123' or 'HDFG' and with such unique names all maps should be seen. It's incredible what crap Blizzard made depending on the folder name different maps to show/hide every time...

Eccho · Mar 27, 2009

Yeah, but I tried to host my spell submission, it was named short but had # in its name.
This is the outcome (and I said this in the second page already)

NicK · Mar 28, 2009

If the patch error is "Cannot find the file Install/Path", do I need to e-install? I tried installing manually, but the game goes on as if it wasn't there by trying to auto nstall the patch whenever I attempt to connect to Bnet.

Zerox · Mar 28, 2009

Wow we need a 1.23b NOW! They just need to remove this (anti duplicate system) crap and then we'll be fine. Sorry not being able to play the majority of the maps I have really isn't something I wanted. >.> Time to uninstall and repatch to 1.22 and until this crap is fixed fly solo and Lan only. T.T

I couldn't agree more. >.>

Eccho · Mar 28, 2009

Too bad for you, that ebnet is going for 1.23a as well.

l0git3c · Mar 28, 2009

oh no...i hope this patch released on 1st April ........

Kwaliti · Mar 28, 2009

This patch has been released for a while now >.>

And their anticheat feature is already exploited again... I see maphacks everywhere.

And thus we just get to suffer because of a horribly failed attempt at kindness. :sad:

Bloody_Turds · Mar 31, 2009

hbout blizzard opens a site, where replays can be saved, and observed by mass's, and if more than 3 people vote he used a hack, either send to further analasis by blizz... OR remove about 10 victorys, because you have to asume he got away with it atleast 70% of the time XD, if blizz rep agrees, it would mean compleetly resetting their ladder

btw maps that are edited with 3rd party apps, are the ones im haveing trouble with, unless there in the download folder... (optamized, ect)

Eccho · Mar 31, 2009

They dont even have to be optimised. I totally hates this new patch now since:
a) My spell wasnt able to be hosted on bnet (due to invalid characters, which, however, was fixable.)
b) My speed mapping contest submission was not able to be hosted on bnet due to "game not found" when trying to host it.

Viikuna · Mar 31, 2009

IceFrog should stop using camegache.. I blame him from everything.

Eccho · Mar 31, 2009

Though, I dont see why he is the issue to this. Just because he made Dota and just because previous patches was concerning exploits sounds on Dota?

Bobo_The_Kodo · Apr 1, 2009

He's the problem because the patch was made to fix an exploit used to cheat in DotA, because of his fail old code.

Eccho · Apr 1, 2009

Yes, the last patch... This patch however was concerning a ladder exploit allowing you to create an almost identical map reading from a gamecache and thus, without causing any desyncs.

Viikuna · Apr 1, 2009

Ye , but because he uses gamecache for storing gameplay data like spell damage and stuff like that, people could use SyncStored -functions with GetLocalPlayer and join DotA game with their fake map, and pwn everybody.

Ash · Apr 1, 2009

Instead of 'Orc' it says 'Naga' for me.

Awesome.

TheGodOfIron · Apr 1, 2009

And for those who wants to download from cuteworm.com, it's advisable not to. >,<
There's apparently some trojan attack there.
And yes, the website seems to be removed.

Someone would have a very boring job then.
