This patch is going to be a big deal for the Warcraft 3 community as it brings back fan-favorite features as well as opens up new possibilities for players and modders to push the boundaries of what is possible in the game. One of the most notable additions in this patch is the reintroduction of custom campaigns, which allows players to create their own unique scenarios and story-lines. This feature was highly requested by the community and its return is sure to be a hit among map creators.

But that's not all, the patch also includes various bug fixes, balance changes and performance improvements that will make the game smoother and more enjoyable for many players. Overall, patch 1.35 is a significant step towards restoring Warcraft 3 and it's exciting to see the game continue to be supported and developed even after all these years.

Finally, the patch includes a number of bug fixes, addressing long-standing issues that have been plaguing the game for years. This includes fixes for crashes, desyncs, and other technical problems that have been affecting players and map makers.

While far from perfect (considering patch 1.33 and 1.34) the release of patch 1.35 is a promising sign that Warcraft III has not been forgotten by Blizzard Entertainment and that the company is still committed to supporting the game. This is great news for the dedicated community of players who have stuck with the game through the years and will give new hope that the game will continue to be supported in the future.

So dust off your World Editor, start creating and be a part of the Warcraft III community once again.

Overall, the release of patch 1.35 is great news for map creators, and it gives them the motivation they need to start creating new campaigns and maps, and share them with the community - which are always looking for new and exciting maps and campaigns to play.

The Warcraft III community is eager to see what you can create, so don't miss this opportunity to show your skills and talents.

Texture issue with Tidal Guardian

Since I can’t post the images I had ready, or even links, I’ll just leave a note: The Naga unit “Tidal Guardian” has a texture issue. Not when viewed in the PTR map editor. Not when entering the game through “Test Map” in the editor. But ingame as entered through the PTR client — Custom Maps...

Maximum map size should be 512mb but is instead 256mb

So as the title says, originally it was intended for map sizes to be increased to 512mb not 256mb, this is important because for example, Reforged models or high definition models in general tend to occupy several MBs per model, this means that an HD map is fairly limited on what it can utilize...

Out of curiosity, would restoring the lag screen at all help with some of the issues?

Back in the old days, when someone lagged, you’d get a big screen saying who was lagging, which after 60 seconds allowed the people in game to choose to drop that person once the timer ran out. Now i’m sure for some things, it wouldn’t help at all. If someone would definitely desync, the lag...

Blizzard said: Warcraft III: Reforged Patch Notes Version 1.35.0 Build 19844 January 19, 2023​ Patch 1.35.0 features: Custom Campaigns Balance update Map Pool updates Leaderboard fixes Season Roll updates Additional improvements and bug fixes Thank you to all community content creators for creating new maps and updating old maps! Custom Campaigns​ Players can now download Custom Campaigns to play or create their own. Some Custom Campaigns can be played using either Reforged or Classic art. Reworked frontend menu. Campaigns are now located under the “Single Player” menu. Custom campaigns now track the difficulty a mission was completed on. “Load saved game” menu can now reload custom campaign save files. Added informational prompt to show users where to install campaign files to. Added “Is Cinematic” option to the campaign editor to change campaign buttons to use the camera thumbnail instead of difficulty progression. Added campaign thumbnail preview support to Reforged. Added ambient sound support to Reforged. Added WebM support for campaign backgrounds. For legacy custom campaigns that previously used 3D backgrounds, a WebM can be used to replace that background in the WebUI. Custom campaign list menu now auto-refreshes upon resuming game window focus. Added support for custom movies in Warcraft III/Movies. This is file format dependent, a VP9 encoded AVI file, with an MP3 for audio in Warcraft III/Movies/Audio. Added Friends presence support for Custom Campaigns. Updated default campaign backgrounds to reforged style. Added user presence for Custom Campaigns Added rich/color formatted text support to custom campaign menus. Ranked Play​ The Season will roll on January 19, 2023 when Patch 1.35.0 goes live. We initially plan for this season to last one year, but we may adjust the end date based on player feedback. MMR for all races and modes will be reset during the season rollover. Players will begin the new season with placement matches. Updated the Map Pool in 1v1,2v2,4v4 and FFA. Leaderboard caching has been updated to be more responsive. The Leaderboard will now update correctly. Balance​ This balance update began with a wide range of changes the team wished to test – some more experimental than others. Our approach to this patch was to first take a look at various community feedback with the goal of diversifying strategy and reducing frustration. We then watched and read a community posts, and we played a great deal of multiplayer matches on the ladder with player feedback in mind. We then analyzed game data. To find out what ultimately would work, we put many changes into a PTR build as early as possible, and then playtested and calibrated further. Regarding the Siege Engine rework, we wished to experiment with giving the unit an alternative role other than merely killing buildings (in 1v1). Ultimately, it ended up overlapping too much with other Human units, and due to the loss of its Fortify armor, became less unique. We may revisit the Siege Engine at another time. We want to thank all the community members who put their time and energy into providing feedback during the PTR. We read your online posts and watched your videos, and found it all very helpful. General​ All Altar Heroes gold cost were reduced from 425 to 400. Revive Time Factor reduced from 0.65 to 0.6.

Three years and finally have one of the most important aspects of the original game back. I hope that Re-Reforged campaigns will be quickly converted.

Still waiting on that Microsoft deal to finish so hopefully WC3 can get the resources and funding it needs to actually make the changes and updates fans deserve.

Noticed that changing the Cursor and Background Music does nothing. And I dont know if it's something I did, but the .webm file in the background starts at a lower resolution and then gets higher and higher on loop.

this issue was in 1.34 also a thing^^

 

[Linaze]

Albeit very anecdotal - both 2v2 ladder and a previously constantly crashing campaign mission now works for me.
1.35 is getting us ever closer to 1.32 levels of stability, but with all the "new" features. Overall a good patch so far I'd say.

 

[Med. MapGuy]

Is there a way to force SD graphics on a campaign map without having the player manually switch to SD mode?

You define this in the editor.

Scenario -> Map Options -> Supported Modes

 

[Spacebuns]

Let's continue pointing out issues that need to be fixed.

The default camera distance has been changed. It is now further than the previous default camera distance - resulting in a wider field of view and reduced FPS.

 

[tlstkwjr]

Fire Orb's attack power increase option cannot be adjusted in the world editor. Maybe this bug wasn't reported?

This is an issue with custom maps that use the Fire Orb's Heal Decrease option. Attack power increases by 7. It will be 5 this time.

 

[J_sanity16]

So how can we download the custom campaigns? Just drag the files into the campaign folder?

 

[FlameofChange]

I got that issue since the 1.34 : Launch the game/editor, put the computer to sleep, wake up the computer, change window to the game/editor and crash.

 

[Evilhog]

In certain custom campaigns, custom in-game music does not play (it seems to be working in cutscenes). I tested Dawn of Chaos 3-mission demo and Saga of Azeroth - Coming of the Horde.

 

[Med. MapGuy]

Are there plans to fix the custom loading screen's misaligned text?

Edit:
Cool, someone on Blizzard's forums recently posted about it. Here's hoping it gets patched soon.

I still experience the bug from aug update, that crashes my map when loading doodads in both WE and game. I thought this bugfix would solve it, seemingly not.

• Fixed occasional crashes when loading into a map with high object counts.

That's right, only used the repositioned model provided by Hive. The problem is the same with jashelper.

I didn't launch WE in a long time so it seems I just didn't noticed. One way or the other it's still quite fresh issue.

 

[Civil]

The default camera distance has been changed. It is now further than the previous default camera distance - resulting in a wider field of view and reduced FPS.

For those annoyed by this, the default camera distance was 1650 before - do call SetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE, 1650, 0.5) to change it back to default

Custom Campaign Menu Crash and CD-ROM Error in 1.35:

wtf dude. I dont't get it why they are not able to implement things which were already in the old game. this is not something new, which they have to develop from scratch. Every patch brings new ore problems then the previous one. The world editor is still bugged, after 3 years! Lader system should have been fixed in 1.35, but no, it is still a shit show

 

[Wa666r]

Custom Campaign Menu Crash and CD-ROM Error in 1.35:

Odd. I just tried to replicate what you did and everything worked fine on my end. I wonder what would be causing the issue.

 

[Ravager16829]

I don't really like Reforged because third-party tools for hacking maps are seemingly not supported with the new version, so I'm stuck with 1.29.2.
However, I'm pointing out that Blizzard had already updated the OS requirements for Warcraft III, which is another major changes (and undocumented).
With 1.30, 1.31, and older versions of Reforged, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. are still supported. Now, 1.35 seems to be only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11. But @BogdanW3 said, 1.32 was dropped its 32-bit OS and has been using features not present in Windows 7's core DLLs and doesn't mention about the OS requirement, which should be Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Also, this year will be the end of Windows 8.1. after about 8.5 years, which will came effect on July 11.
I guess Warcraft III or Reforged is no longer work on older OS anymore, even Windows 7 and 8.1. The same thing also applies to other Activision Blizzard games like Call of Duty (since 2018), Starcraft, and Diablo.
People should consider using Windows 10 or Windows 11 (like me) for playing most recent games that require a new OS and Direct3D 12 (RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc).

Same issues from any version post 1.28.
Also when playing the intro i got a black screen, but once i opened first human map, all went well.

By the way is impossible to tank refunded's portraits, they all look lifeless even when the heads talk, not even a blink or a smirk.
Also it seems that reforged models doesn't like talking in custom campaign dialogues.

 

[LordPerenolde II]

By they way is impossible to tank refunded's portraits,

What does that mean?

 

[Bitterman]

What does that mean?

"somehow a y got in, so i fixed the error"

I say that Reforged's portrait animations looks like lifeless dolls, not even a single eye blink, while classic looks more lively even with its low poly limitations.
i kinda suggested many times that someone needs to port the classic portrait animations and portrait camera position into reforged models.

Even the HD community models made off wow or HOTS using the same classic w3 portrait anims looks better than reforged.

Plus, i tested for a bit the up to date release of the dwarf campaign and is incredible how bad it is and how lifeless the mountain king animations are compared to the old model, if blizzard stated that they will look into that with their now art rework, i hope they do what Hive and others have done over the last 15 years, because they all look terrible.

Also, here is orc mission 2(enhanced) briefing under reforged, which i forgot to put on the previous post, not to say as much but the climate effects here does better than 1.28, and here is running the effects on medium since for some reason reforged puts the game on medium with my 1060 3gb, when it shouldn't.
Still, it has the same lumber gathering issue.

• Immolation damage was reduced from 10/15/20 to 8/12/180 (16/24/36 DPS).
• Immolation mana cost reduced from 35 to 30 (Activision Cost: 20 Mana Required: 10).

Their typos were carefully selected for maximal hilarity.

Some lame feedback from me. Why Custom Campaign and not Custom Campaigns but Custom Games not Custom Game?

Also, the menu doesn't know what folders are, all the files are shown without the folders they are in.

 

[Resyak]

Well, I'm thinking of updating the game to 1.35 but I'm a little scared because I have a project under development and I don't know the number of errors that may arise if I do so. Anyway, the campaign I'm working on could only be played with classic graphics so I don't know if it's really worth doing.

 

[deepstrasz]

OK, weird stuff. I wasn't able to find any play button for custom campaigns and when I entered the game again (after exiting it the first time, of course), this is what I got, an empty list:

Also, pressing the red Exit button to quit the game doesn't do anything. I have to do it by ALT+F4.

Problem is that for me, the issue still persists even if I exit and enter the game multiple times. No idea what happened. Not reinstalling the whole game again since I've got too many versions around and don't want to risk breaking them.

 

[Wa666r]

Another issue. Please fix whatever this is. The Edit Ability Value - Unit Type pop up is botched.

 

[Frotty]

Still can't return to lobby chat after whispering. People tell me /l works for them, but it doesn't for me. Also I don't receive invites. I suppose this is because I linked my classic account or because I don't own reforged something? Also focus still changes from chat to start button when someone leaves or changes slot. It's just the electron launcher, not even the game. Every unpaid intern who knows the most basic html/css/ja should be able to fix this shit. Such a sad display of incompetency.

That's why I'm not a reforged fan. One thing solved, 1000 bugs and failures, crashes and glitches, and god knows whatta hell is even wrecked on there that can happened, and still costs 30 bucks - no holiday or anniversary price drop, no special bundle or something for a fair price -. Of course, they are gonna make every failure looks like a winning. That's why I don't even like the concept of the "Reforged".

 

[noob]

That all comes down to how they had an ambitious project then funding got slashed to nothingness and they could not deliver or make a good working product.
The idea was not bad, Activision simply did the job poorly by deciding to not spend the money required to make a functioning remake which was disappointing.
