Save files location?

[Abelhawk]

I'm finally moving WarCraft III out of my Program Files(x86) folder, since the stupid thing won't stop asking me for "administrator permission" just to move or delete a map, and it won't even let me save maps at all. Anyway, when I did so, I noticed my save files are now missing.

Why is this? Where did they go? I have a "saves" folder that moved with the entire WarCraft 3 folder, but I can't find the ones I had before... in fact, there are a bunch of save game files in there that I haven't seen in a long time, that never show up when I load a map in-game. And my campaign progress isn't saved either.

Is there some aspect of how the saved game files work in WarCraft 3 that I'm missing?

Try using a wc3 registry fixer:

Save files are written in your "Save" folder, but wc3 only looks for those files relative to the wc3 install path specified in the registry. So if you move your folder, it might end up looking in the wrong location.

Thanks! This is exactly what I need. Since my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, I copied over the folder from my old computer, so it probably has all sorts of odd registry issues.

Unfortunately, though, the file isn't downloading... the site is just timing out. I guess I can just give it some time. The site might be having too much traffic tonight.
