Some of my custom maps crash on loading

[Solu9]

Hey folks.

I have just installed War3 on my win10 laptop for the first time (via my b.net account) and some of my own maps can't load when I start them up. The game is at patch 1.28.5 something.

This one specific map loads to around 90% and then the application freezes. The wierd thing is that from time to time the loading completes and the "press any key to continue" shows the game will immediately crash.

I've tested another really simple map which makes the application freeze at around 30%, and another map that loads fine.

I should note that I have tried opening the first map mentioned above in the editor. But it crashes the editor around where it initializes units, sometimes after. One time it completed all the loading but then crashed.
I'm fairly certain I haven't used any map protection on this map.

Is maybe "Texture quality" not set to high in wc3 settings (video)?
Crash while loading in editor sounds not good. Is it only one map? If so, might you attach it?

And there we have it. Such a simple thing.
The map will now open in game and in the editor as well.

Thank you very much Iceman

Possibly a buggy driver causing it? Intel graphics (used by a lot of laptops) is notorious for being buggy. Even worse so for old obsolete graphics APIs such as the ones WC3 uses since Intel likely does not maintain the code for them.
