[Crash] World Editor Won't Start

[LeJose]

Hello.

I am having issues with starting my Warcraft III map editor. I am using 1.31.1 and I got this version from a different portal on Hive. Every time I attempt to open my editor I receive a error code to submit to Blizzard. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!

Have you tried cleaning your registry? Do you have other versions than 1.31.1 installed?

If you're not sure how to do the registry thing, check point 5) of the FAQ in the first post of this thread: Patch 1.31.1 Backup Files

This is because you are previously left some registries that are related to Warcraft III, especially if you are using Reforged's World Editor.
Open Regedit, locate "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\". Delete all keys there (including "Warcraft III" and "WorldEdit" ones).
Btw, why you are using 1.31.1? This version is extremely unstable due to the black screen issue and lots of bugs. Also, the Editor tends to crash when you opened the map.

It's really the only version I could get my hands on. Is there a better patch that is accessible as this?

You can find downloads for other versions here: WC3 Download Archive (1.00 - 1.31.1 + BETA & DEMO)

I'm pointing out that versions higher than 1.27 can break some custom campaigns and maps, even though they are required for custom campaigns.
But you can try a better versions of Warcraft 3 by using a link that guy above posted (a valid CD-Keys is required to install and play the game).
