even if I wanted to update it, I can't because I can't update it because the update don't work on my pcSomeone had the same problem and the only way to fix this issue was playing the campaign on the latest version. However, playing the campaign with 1.31 might risk of getting tons of bugs, especially the game breaking triggers.
You mean installing the Warcraft III and letting it auto-update? As you can tell, all of the Warcraft III downloads from Blizzard will automatically install Reforged (1.32.10), which screws up everything. The only thing you can install the non-Reforged W3 is by downloading from this thread (remember to put your CD-keys though). Once you have the Warcraft III (non-Reforged), do NOT use the Launcher or hit "Battle.net" button. PLay the game from "Warcraft III.exe".even if I wanted to update it, I can't because I can't update it because the update don't work on my pc
I cant put the cdkey, it redirect me to ''battle.net'' and I cant find the dl button in this thread of 1.31You mean installing the Warcraft III and letting it auto-update?

Next time, please don't ask the questions that aren't relating to this campaign here. There's a supposed sub-forum known as "Warcraft Discussion".I cant put the cdkey, it redirect me to ''battle.net'' and I cant find the dl button in this thread of 1.31
The Step 2 is important. This is the place where the WC3 CD-Keys can be stored.FIXED IT
Here is how i did it (try to run Warcraft III.exe in admin each time you finish a step, maybe you dont need to do everything)
1- Open task manager to make sure no warcraft 3 or battle net client process is running in the background.
2- Go to the following path:
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III
or
%programdata%\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III
Download cd keys.rar and extract them there.
3- Open Regedit and make sure the following entries exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\w3
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III
Even if they do exist, download Regedit Entries.rar and extract it anywhere you want, then run both files and click ok/yes if there is a warning then follow the screenshot and edit the entries accordingly.
4- Delete battle net & blizzard related folders in %appdata%, %programdata%, %localappdata%, %temp%
5-Run warcraft III.exe in admin. (never run Warcraft III Launcher.exe as it will update your game to an unplayable version)
I think step 2 and 3 are the ones that did it for my friend!
Take a look at the attachment below. This is the place where you can put the save file for WC3.i downloaded the latest version... but how do I put my saved game to the game?View attachment 405171
Got V1.31.1 working with extracted casc data and afterwards removed casc data from the game directory.@BogdanW3 I said "1.27++" and not "1.27+"In my head I mean "later than 1.27" but I know I should've made it clearer.
I tested 1.30.1 from the archive thread, 1.12GB. I found that 1.31.x has a hidden startup parameter "-nocasc" and tested it (no success). I will add details to my post above to keep it all in one place.
Not using casc has larger issues than that: you lose access to all casc subroots (more or less), as local files aren't scanned the same way: all locales stuff - broken, all tileset data - not loadable in the correct fashion.Got V1.31.1 working with extracted casc data and afterwards removed casc data from the game directory.
Need to combine -nocasc with -datadir.
This is how I run the 64 bit version:
"F:\Spiele\Warcraft III\V1.31 - Kopie\x86_64\Warcraft III.exe" -nocasc -datadir "C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\Data V1.31" -loadfile
Edit: when one places the extracted data inside a folder in the parent folder of the exe one can just give the folder name
"F:\Spiele\Warcraft III\V1.31 - NoCasc\x86_64\Warcraft III.exe" -nocasc -datadir GameData -loadfile
edit: the game just does not find the built in melee/campaign maps
Edit Edit: when one places the included campaign/melee maps in the same folder as the exe the game finds & starts them
edit: And the total Size increased by ~500 mb
edit: test map in the editor does not work![]()
Data\data\data.***
files and you're fineThats a missunderstanding as I did not describe it enough. -datadir is not local files. it makes the game take the base data from the place you choose.Not using casc has larger issues than that: you lose access to all casc subroots (more or less), as local files aren't scanned the same way: all locales stuff - broken, all tileset data - not loadable in the correct fashion.
What I made is basically just using local files by default, but since DataDir seems to be better now than my tests on 1.29 showed, it could be a way to fully play as well - which is more than I expected@Tasyen does it work if you omit -nocasc with everything else in place? With what Bogdan said, it might've been used for something else or implicitly enabled now.
I'm actually surprised 1.32 doesn't crash for Bogdan after removing the files.
What Tommi said is true. Besides, does it really bother you ? I mean it's only the menu not the interface during gameplay.hi guys a bit of help in this m running the 1.30.4 version of classic, the resolution say 1920x1080 in full screen but m getting black sides borders in menu and in gameplay it is kind of elongated how do i fix this
As Tommi suggested, you can't actually remove the black side borders in menu. The game has been reformatted to support the Widescreen (16:3), but the Classic menu only supports the 4:3.hi guys a bit of help in this m running the 1.30.4 version of classic, the resolution say 1920x1080 in full screen but m getting black sides borders in menu and in gameplay it is kind of elongated how do i fix this
You need to place the w3n files inside "Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns". If you don't have that folder, create it yourself.hi thanks for guide ,
but im having a toubles , i had downloaded and open the game successfully ,
but it cant appear downloaded campaigns after create new folder .
I really wanna have some good time with nice Campaigns LOL
Hi bro ,You need to place the w3n files inside "Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns". If you don't have that folder, create it yourself.
Based on the screenshots, you created the "Campaigns" folder in the game directory, which is incorrect.Actually the file is created by myself and placed those downloaded campaigns inside .
4. Maps/campaigns aren't visible in game:
-> If maps or campaigns that you are using were saved in 1.32 (Reforged), they won't work.
-> Make sure that your maps and campaigns are located in appropriate folders. If the folders don't exist, create them yourself, watching out for typos.
Folder paths and names are as follows - these are case sensitive, i.e. the folders must be named exactly as below, including which letters are big/small:
Campaigns: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns
Maps: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps
-> If you still cannot see a map or a campaign in game and neither of the above doesn't help, there's sadly no known solutions to that problem. Feel free to either post the map file in the thread or send it to me directly via a PM. I'm not promising that I will find a solution, but I can at least try.
Good day Bruh ,Based on the screenshots, you created the "Campaigns" folder in the game directory, which is incorrect.
I strongly recommend reading the FAQ at the end of the original post, it contains helpful tips on solving common issues. Such as this one:
Good day Bruh ,
Thanks ! it was my mistake to not review the FAQ , now its done~ thanks again
And emm , can i have a last question again , where do i download the language pack for many different langguage yea xD
You must do that instructions above or else you'll get the black screen during the startup. Change "enUS" to your choice (if the language is Germany, set it to "deDE").Why do I have a black screen at startup? (relevant for versions 1.30.0.9900-1.32)
The client’s language and the language in the registry do not match, you need to change the language in the registry to the one in the client.
(w3 - Retail, w3t - Test PTR, w3b - Beta)
(enUS ruRU deDE esES frFR itIT koKR plPL zhCN zhTW - ROC TFT)
(enUS ruRU deDE esES frFR itIT koKR plPL zhCN zhTW enGB esMX jaJP ptBR thTH - Reforged)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\w3] "Locale"="enUS"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\w3t] "Locale"="enUS"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\w3b] "Locale"="enUS"
For the first problem, it's really strange because other persons had already tested this trick and the game is working. Maybe because your download is different than this one from Hive Workshop. Try re-download the whole game from this thread, then read my post above for changing the languages.Unfortunately changing the language doesn't work for me even after changing the registry entries. Only enUS seems to work. I tested deDE and frFR and with both I only get a black screen.
I also downloaded all the 1.31.1 versions with blizzget but starting these crashes the game with a file corruption error. I redownloaded multiple times.
Someone has a working 1.31.1 deDE version?
Check the post above. There were many comments about how to play on other languages, which involves modifying the registry files. This will also solve the black screen bug when you start the game. Be mindful that you can only edit an intended part because it might cause a severe issues with your computer if you had a small mishap with your registries.Can I still play in german when I download this?
Hey, did you manage to fix it? I'm having exactly the same issue (also with polish version). I think it has something to do with registry keys, because I managed to replicate this bug even with clean 1.27b polish files (downloaded from this hive post). Now I reinstalled windows, and 1.27b polish version works fine, but I can't get over not having windowed fullscreen mode (and the expansion switch menu is also nice). I tried everything, but i cant get 1.31.1 to fully work in polish. Sadly I lost somewhere my original disksI've downloaded this quite some time ago and it seemed to work just fine in English, but when I changed the language to Polish (whether via Polish language fix files from a .zip pack or manually via RegEdit), ALL item tooltips were missing, including names before you pick them up (which is a big problem for tomes and the like). Sometimes they're just empty, sometimes they display "Tool tip missing!" (which may or may not be displaced from the textbox). And from the little I've played, the orc announcer stutters (in Polish - the sounds are fine in English) when he says "Need more lumber" ("Need more- Need more-"). I assume this is due to missing files for the localization that can't be fixed by a simple registry key edit. Still, does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I even scoured this thread for a similar issue (not necessarily for my language even), but I found nothing.I think it might've not been an issue at first, before I started messsing with the registry keys, but I'm honestly not sure. I might be misremembering.
Oh, and I haven't experienced any "black screens" or the like.
EDIT: It turns out this might be a RoC-exclusive issue. I tried a 1v1 against AI in TFT and the tooltips display without any issues.
Not really a game version issue directly, nor even the campaign itself (Violet Gate only supports 1.31.1). It's more likely due to the weak system.Just started playing the like...8th or 9th non-interlude chapter of the Exodus: Violet Gate campaign and the first few minutes or so were fine as usual, but then I suddenly had the game start stuttering pretty much the exact same way as shown in the bellow vid (credit to @Yours Truly for the thing and for starting the lag spikes thread I pilfered the vid from). First time it's happening since I started playing the campaign besides some stutters in select cinematics
I tried downloading and running the Language fix registry file and then did the -graphicsapi Direct3D9 thing too to a shortcut of the game version. None really dealt with the issue in any noticeable way. Restarting didn't really do anything either
Any chance someone can tell me what I can do to potentially fix the issue? Finishing the map with the stuttering going on is whatever, but I'd rather hopefully get an actual fix in case this stuttering thing starts happening in any of the following maps of the campaign. Or in one of the other campaigns that can only be played on this patch only
Dunno bro, my system should be strong enough to deal with Reforged's bloat, though, I'll admit I haven't played Arkain maps on it, which are gonna be the thing that really tests that. I've looked at the system specs again to be sure and I've got 16GB RAM to use (there's a small add-on right next to that value that says 15.7GB is useable, though. You can't be telling me that 0.3GB not useable RAM is the issue here), Intel i9 and a bit more than 8GB VRAM and I'm using Windows 10Not really a game version issue directly, nor even the campaign itself (Violet Gate only supports 1.31.1). It's more likely due to the weak system.
Warcraft III's system requirements has been changed when it gets a newer updates. If I remember correctly, recent versions of Warcraft III, in general, is dependant on your system due to the introduction of CASC, which uses a lot of memory usage. If you have a weak system (let's says a 4 GB of RAM with only Dual Core CPU and 2 GB of Video RAM), but you are playing on max out settings, then there's a high chance you will get a countless lags/spikes AND possibly, constant game crashing. Reforged updates get even worse: At least 16 GB of RAM and 4 GB of Video RAM is required if you want to play the game on max out settings because the game (and even the system) might crash more often.
I'm not sure if the "-graphicsapi Direct3D9" method still works, since Blizzard removed this kind of option on Reforged. Even the recent updates are only intended for Windows 10/11. In addition, some suggests you need to launch the game using "-windowmode fullscreen" parameter or by using the Video Settings in-game to enable Native Fullscreen Mode.

Tried, but unfortunately no...Have you tried starting the executable file with "Run As Administrator"?
Sadly, I have no idea how to solve this problem, since you tried installing the game yourself.Tried, but unfortunately no...
Be sure to check the previous comments first before answering the question!!!I can't find the solution to problem 6. The test map fails
For every versions of WC3 starting with 1.28 (and up until the current patch 2.0.1), every important user data for Warcraft III (like maps and campaigns) are now located inside your user Documents folder. In order to play the custom campaigns for 1.29-1.31, you have to place your campaign files inside the "Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns" folder. 1.27 and older versions still stored every important user data for Warcraft III directly inside the game root.I have a question regarding the specific of the game. As for right now i have 1.27, 1.29, 1.30 and 1.31 version at the same time. I found a problem where i can't play custom campaigns on any version except 1.27
Is this many version exsisting at the same time cause the issue? And how can i fix this problem
