Hello guys.

I own Reforged, but I'm trying to play WarCraft III on a dinosaur laptop. Which old patch do you guys recommend for good stability? Mostly an nostalgia trip campaign playthrough. The laptop has Windows 10 installed. Is it true that the campaign cinematics don't work on old patches using newer Windows? Is there any way to solve this?

Cheers. :peasant-cheers:

According to most peoples, 1.26 is the last patches that are safe without potential bugs. However, some campaigns only work on 1.29+.
For the cinematics, I think you'll have to rename the "Movies" folder in case you might encounter instant crash when the cinematic occurs. This will disable the intro, but the game is still working without problem.
