Windows 10 and W3 map making

[Retria]

I have windows 7 and I can get windows 10 for free
-microsoft ofcourse say it is perfect system, but I do not belive them

My main concern is:
Will everything around word editor work without problems under windows 10?

I use newgen

Yes, JNGP still works.

There are currently some issues when running Warcraft III using Direct3D. Gamma does not work and in game performance is terrible. Switching to OpenGL mode is a work around for both.

Thanks for answer!

I can confirm this

Hi, guys.


Sorry for reviving this, but I have a similar question. So everything should work on Windows 10, correct? But then you went on to say something about Direct3D and OpenGL mode and... what is that?

poor technological knowledge, please enlighten me. Basically, is there ANYTHING at all that I have to get, get rid of, or modify, in orders to have a good performance and good experience using map editor on Windows 10?

I don't have Win 10, but things has been improved after the 1.27 patch according to others. These posts were posted before the recent wc3 compability os patch, maybe those with Win 10 can enlighten more.

OpenGL mode is simple.Create a shortcut for TFT,right click on it and add -opengl to the target

We used it to fix some Win 10 issues,such as the gamma setting not working

And only those who bought Warcraft 3 can update their patch to 1.27, correct?

Does that mean adding -opengl to the shortcut's name?

 

[Squiggy]

No, mine isn't bought and I can patch it without problems - just not play online due to the key.

It means right-click the shortcut, go to "Properties" and in the Path field, add -opengl after the program path, like: "...\Warcraft 3\Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl

With the latest patch yes.

History. The latest patch from 2016 fixed it by migrating to D3D9.

Nothing at all. It works flawlessly once updated.

Gamma does now work in WC3 with the latest patch.

Yes, but then again you also need to buy WC3 to legally play it so I do not see a problem there.

Actually there is nothing stopping you patching if you do not own a licence. The patcher has no checks. Please buy it if you like it though as it is only fair for the developers.

No, it means going to properties and modifying the shortcut command line target.

Please buy WC3. It is not fair or legal to not buy it.

Under Window, untick "Brushes". It'll make your editing in the OE much faster

Anyone who has Warcraft 3 can update their patch to 1.27 whether it is bought or not. Patch 1.27
