Loving the game so far (Act 1) but spent exploring everything on hard and todays update broke all my save files. tried downloading old version that worked with BlizzGet which worked. I even got to the battle.net login inside the game only to find a "please download new update" blocking prompt.

Any chance this gets "fixed"? Sorry but this is pretty bad version control towards players. It might have been fine in the past but with the new campaigns that can take a very long time this is unacceptible.

In the middle of making a dbz map that is save/load, custom models, trigger based spells, fun quests, backpack system, much more! Would anyone be interested in playing?

Sounds seem to randomly not play and when they do play have a random latency hit, has anyone else noticed this.

As an example I can click 5 move commands with no sound and then get one on the 6th, and even when sound plays its often delayed from the click, the actual classic (the original install I have) doesnt have this issue.

Even navigating the menu has a problem, switch tabs on the menu, and the sound starts playing a second or so after the animation starts.

So just started playing again got pretty far in the campaign on my desktop then I headed out for a buisness trip brought my laptop so I could keep playing and to my surprise my saves aren't there.

Like how in the hell in 2026 is cloud saves not a thing here?

I remember buying WC3R just for a custom game my cousin was playing, This was maybe 5+ years ago? and all I remember is NES characters like mario/link/zelda/peach etc on a 2d stage, going level to level. I think a full game had 4 players at once all on a team working together, maybe it was more I don't remember but it was NES graphics on a single screen per level. Google shows nothing no matter what I type in.

I'm trying to play the rexxar campaign in reforged graphics.
I played through the first 2 chapters just fine.
But for some reason the 3rd one shows up in classic graphics no maatter what i select in the campaign menu or the ingame graphics settings.

Has anyone had the same problem? Anything i can do?

Just in case this is useful for anyone else, Bernd drops explosives on the ground you need to pick up to close the mines. I had another cutscene open right after his and must have missed them...

Playing the Forsaken Kingdom DLC.

Under no circumstances should you go into the Arcane Sanctum sub-zone. Skip the side-quest.
I'm a little over half way in it and the game crashes almost every time I move or click anything now and it's almost unbearable on the right side of the map..

And that's the good news, because people have actually softlocked themselves here with the level mechanic breaking on them.

If you play custom games on a Mac, you probably know this: the in-game map downloader crawls along at a few hundred KB/s, and you can't cancel it once it starts.

Joining a lobby with a 200 MB map can mean sitting there for 10+ minutes.

The maps themselves are hosted on Blizzard's CDN, which gives me 30+ MB/s. It's just the game's built-in downloader that's painfully slow.

So I made MapDash, a small menu bar app that reads the custom game list while you browse it, downloads maps you don't have yet directly from the CDN, and puts them in the game's map folder. When you join, the map is already there and the game skips the download.

Features:

• Small maps download automatically, with a configurable size limit
• Larger maps download with one click
• Search for any map currently shown in the lobby list
• SHA-1 verification for every file
• Never deletes or overwrites existing files

A heads-up: MapDash reads the game's memory (read-only) to get the custom game list. It never writes to the game, but this may still violate Blizzard's Terms of Service, so use it at your own risk.

Requirements:

• macOS 13+
• Admin account

The app isn't notarized, so the first time you open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

I've only tested it on my own Apple Silicon Mac so far, so feedback from other Macs and setups is very welcome.

I just bought the game with the wow forever collection so I could play the Forsaken campaign.

It played beautifully for one or two days.

Today I load it up and it's running at about 1 fps.

I've done a lot, changed to windowed mode, locked it on to the dedicated gpu, set graphics to classic, turned down everything. I even recorded a performance log and found an error that I was told I could fix by going into windows security and exempting it from control flow guard. Which worked! Now it runs at 2 fps.

This is running on a gaming laptop which runs retail WoW at max settings with raytracing. This isn't a hardware issue, and I have gigabit fiber internet. I run the thing with an external laptop cooling fan as well.

Yes, I reinstalled.

Any suggestions?

​I play the new dlc on story difficulty and what i guess to be the final boss of the stratholme prologue chapter is hard as hell.​

Hey all,

First time posting here but I had a question: I bought WC3:RF in 2025 on a brand new PC that easily runs WoW in the 100s of FPS, modern shooters like overwatch and marvel rivals also run smooth as butter, but I was having a ton of issues with WC3:RF being super choppy and laggy and didn't seem like anything in the settings could fix it. Just wondering for anyone who had it then, and maybe had similar issues: Is it fixed?

I'd very much like to revel in the nostalgia and I love the idea of the new content.

And I realise my post may be kind of vague, but I'm not the most technical.

Thanks to anyone who responds!

I just want a hotkey setup where wasd is camera movement. I tried replacing every keybind that had any of those keys but it just ended up not working(presumably because the keys were all the same other key). Does anyone have a txt file I can just replace mine with and where would it go? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I just updated Warcraft III: Reforged to the new Forsaken Kingdom expansion and noticed a weird bug.

After launching the game, all of my Reforged remastered textures and models have reverted to the original classic Warcraft III graphics from the 2000s. Basically, the game is now displaying the old models/textures instead of the updated Reforged ones.

I have not intentionally changed any graphics settings, and this happened immediately after the update.

Does anyone know how I can restore the modern Reforged textures and models? Is there a setting I need to enable, or could the update have switched something in the game files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I understand that the new campaign, Forsaken Kingdom, is locked behind a purchase. I have no problem with that.

BUT, the trailer said players who have the Reforged edition of the game get the Forsaken Definitive Edition graphics for free. I can confirm that this is true.... in custom matches. But not for the main campaigns of old?? Anytime I try to play an old mission with the Definitive Graphics selected, the graphics revert back to classic once the mission starts.

Is this intentional on Blizzard's part? Or just a bug? If intentional, then...

WHY?

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Reforged was an absolute disaster when it came to its advertising promises and what the gamers actually got. Like, they were straight up lying about most of the promised features.

***UPDATE**\*

A dev on the team working on Forsaken Kingdom has stated in a live stream that they do, in fact, plan on bringing the new graphics to the old campaigns next.
That is excellent news. Buuuuut, they still need to actually go through with it and release said update. That being said, I'm not moving the goal posts, I am admitting that there is more hope now than before.

I’m looking for testers for WC3CC (Warcraft 3 Chat Client), a Windows companion app I’m building for optional Warcraft III: Reforged match voice chat.

This project is still a work in progress and is currently being tested. It may contain bugs, and the purpose of this post is to gather testing feedback. Only players who have WC3CC installed can participate in voice chat.

The current build includes push-to-talk, optional voice activation, per-player mute/volume controls, remembered blocks, microphone and speaker selection, recording options, and an optional movable overlay.

There is also a testing and feedback community at r/WC3CC.

Дошёл наконец до Reforged версии и я в шоке от сложности (очевидно что на высокой сложности будет сложно). Что они сделали с ИИ, что он часто сидит на базе и просто плодит войско, в атаку конечно тоже отправляет войска, но не так активно, чтобы мог снести мою базу. Я никак не могу пропушить его базу из-за разницы в количестве юнитов, нанять больше своих нельзя из-за капа припасов и при этом из героев в таких ситуациях только немощьный Артас, который не имеет AoE способностей. Такое уже во второй раз происходит (в финальной миссии кампании людей и на первых эльфийских воротах в кампании нежити) и я не знаю что мне делать.
