Greetings Hive,

A problem, I have.
It began with me trying to add the latest patch manually because my Battle.Net wouldn't budge. It got stuck in the middle and stole my War3.exe thing so I couldn't play, so I uninstalled and reinstalled again. The problem was that I accidentally installed it to C:/ProgramFiles/WarcraftIII/WarcraftIII and I just moved all the files into ProgramFiles/WarcraftIII. Now not only I don't have Battle.Net on my game, but when my game starts to load any type of map it crashes in the middle...

Do I have to uninstall and reinstall AGAIN? Oh no I have parental controls crap on my user!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Well, you have to.... I've explaind some steps about fresh installation, it needs a fresh, with copy and paste and moving files to different locations, your BNU update or patch won't work.

1. Uninstall warcraft 3 roc/tft whatever and get rid of it - before that keep maps you will need - custom maps, no need to keep melee maps, they all come with installation. So uninstall and delete traces of patches or other remaining files, make a clean installation.

2. Install Roc,Install TFT

3. Now after having installed TFT, download the war3 latest patch
http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3x/patches/pc/War3TFT_124a_English.exe

Copy it to your war3 folder and launch the file (war3TFT_1.24a_english.exe) from there.

If you have no problems in the registry done by a previous mess, that should work. Again, if your keys are original BNet should work.
