NewGen error

[Big Dub]

Ok last night it was working fine except every few times I opened a map it would bug out and say something about direct X and the test would close.

But today I every time I try to open NewGen it starts up and says NewGen has encountered an error and needs to close, Send error report, dont send error report.

What am I supposed to do, NewGen is the only editor that supports the scripts in my map. Has anyone else had this error?

I'm having the same issue. I hear it has something to do with the new patch. I've heard that there's a patch somewhere that might fix it, but I'm not sure about it. I couldn't find anything.

Hopefully, a new version of NewGen will clear this up.

Edit: I just heard (more rumors, can't confirm) that Blizzard will be releasing another patch soon that might fix this. I have no way to confirm that, but, if it's true, then... Yay?

Hmm, sounds like until then my mapmaking days are done T.T

So does anyone know where to find this update or how to fix it yourself?

The new patch uses a new version of C++ library, and it seems Blizzard changed the engine without mentioning it in the changelog.
vJASS works fine, but Grimoire no longer does.

I made a post in the news thread about this:

For those willing to work with JNGP, you can download 1.21 version of World Editor here.
The download sends you a worldedit.exe file.
Go to your Warcraft III folder, you already have a worldedit.exe, iconless. Back it up somewhere where you'll remember, and drag the downloaded file inside the Wc3 folder. I repeat, DO NOT OVERWRITE, back the current worldedit.exe somewhere where you'll remember.

I don't know if Grimoire works with 1.21, but it's worth the shot.
