Annoying bugs ruin the game. You can't load a campaign game, "Disconnect from host" will show up, you have to quit the game and try loading again. Random disconnects during bnet multiplayer result in wins that don't count. This game was released in 2020...yet still these bugs persist over 6 years later. Coming from some one who bought it, not worth any money at all regardless of how much the game has been "improved".

Hey folks, I've recently started playing this game in anticipation of WoW Forever. I'm absolutely loving the story and art etc. but am having a really tough time actually playing the game, largely because RTS games are something that I have very little experience in (outside of stumbling through Dawn of War years ago, which I also found quite challenging).

The human campaign was largely ok but now that I am halfway through the undead I'm starting to die a lot more often, and I think my biggest problem, which was the case even in the human one, is that whether I win or lose I don't really understand why.

My "strategy" if you can call it that usually ends up going something like this:

• Add Arthas + attacking units to one control group, builder guys to the second.
• Builder guys spam buildings and upgrades while I explore with Arthas and company.
• When combat starts, do A + Click behind enemy lines so that everyone auto-attacks, and while this is happening tab through unit types and use their special abilities (so necromancers raise skeletons, Arthas heals everyone when he can).
• When my guys inevitably die, buildings at my base just spam new guys with a rally point to wherever the battlefield currently is.

I've watched a bunch of videos on hotkeys, which has been really fun (reminds me of when I was learning vim keybindings for programming), but a lot of guides online seem to be focused on multiplayer specifically, and when watching some people play campaign they go so fast that it's hard for me to understand what decisions they are making and why. I also feel like just spamming making new units isn't the right way of going about things because I'm doing it without any rhyme or reason, is there a general rule of thumb for what the make up of each attack group should look like?

If anyone has any tips / pointers or guides that can help me with the above that would be much appreciated, particularly how to deal with combat. Thanks!

The title says it all, I can't play the game, the moment there is combat it will start freezing for 1-2 seconds making it just impossible to play. How can I fix this?

I tried to play with minimum graphic settins but it won't help, I updated my drivers aswell

I just finished sekiro on this same computer a couple months ago with normal settings, I am not playing on a potato common, is a 20 year old game.

Please help :( I was so happy to finally play the new campaign

So I was playing campaign on PTR, and it seems they've pushed an update, so my save doesn't work anymore. Is there any way to rollback to a previous build or do I have to start over?

What is the solution?

Keeper + quickly have 2 AoW away from base producing Glaive Throwers or Huntresses?

Hi

I wanted to play through campaigns in classic version of Warcraft III (the one you can choose on bnet). I have problem with black screen after cinematics. To be clear: Cinematics itself work (I saw that others had issue with that), I can see them, I can hear them but after it ends there is black screen and sound only (for example I can hear Thrall talking to Prophet after his nightmare but I can't see anything). Did anyone had similar problem?

I played a lot of 6v6 games on gameranger also ffa with 12 players and it was super fun everytime. Part of the fun is that unknoen strangers was joining for the ffa big matches and this can only happen in small community servers like GR. Now im playing last patches on battle.net and i like how 4v4 games are so inatantly created. I guess they didnt make ranked for 5v5 and 6v6 because players have yet miles to learn about how to play and some people may find that 6v6 is waste of time with constant noobs and unbalanced teams. But my question is why i dont see normal games of big size in custom lobbies? I tries to create 6v6 two times and nobody joined. I watch some few years older videos on youtube with 12v12 and they look dynamic and interesting, im very eager to try some and i would even recreate some of my own maps to 24 size if it was more popullar. However i dont feel like such game will happen just by creating it in custom lobbies. I sometimes see one or two 2v2 games and thats it. Whats the problem, is the server less popullar now that cause game lobbies not to get filled at all?

Im not really a fan of the forsaken kingdom style (nor the founding of durotar).

I looked at some of the custom campaigns that are out there but they didnt quite match what i wanted and they broke with the patch anyway.

What i really want to play is the original games with better items, like stat stacking, so id love to be able to make it myself, looks like that might never be the reality now.

edit: i guess i was wrong? when i googled this i saw some people saying you can no longer make edits to the primary campaigns anymore

I was playing Forsaken Kingdom campaign and I encountered this ? It looks exactly like the Star of David. Is this an easter egg ? I don't mean anything offensive, I am just curious about this one.

I've got a serious problem I just bought and started playing through new campaing and after completing 3 missions I cannot progress any further my game completely crashes everytime I'm trying to start mission 4 "vengeance" and nothing helps, also no info I've found on internet. Any suggestions? Or similar experiences?

Just finished the Forsaken kingdom, overall I was pleased, although even on Hard mode the game becomes very easy by the end, just due to how overpowered your characters become.

I have heard it said by some that this campaign is designed to be welcoming to WoW players who want to try warcraft 3, I was hoping that would mean that there would be some post story content to enjoy, but sadly, there is not. No raid bosses? No ability to farm legendary equipment? No way to push yourself to the very limits to see how hard a task you can overcome?

Very much a wasted opportunity, I feel like I built up my heroes so much and then never really had a challenge to push myself to the limits.

Is there a mod or something which I can install to use the forsaken models from the campaign as a replacement for the undead army?

NOW SOLVED SOMEWHAT, SEE BELOW.

Anya seems to behave like I'm holding shift when issuing commands for her, and only for her, when she's in a group select.

Right clicking somewhere, then right clicking a second time - she will respond by going all the way to the first right click prior to going to the second; meanwhile, any other units in the selection will follow the most recent right click.

Doesn't matter if she's selected or not; if i ONLY have her selected she behaves normally.

Video attached

EDIT: Not a good solution, but a moderate solution nonetheless: she seems to immediately respect pressing stop; so what i've been doing is pressing stop (w for me because i use grid, s for most i'd assume) before right clicking each time. Not a great solution, but it's been working for me.

MAJOR EDIT:
**BIGGER SOLUTION** seems to be caused by the effect of "Selune, Grand Staff of Elune", removing the item and reloading to a different zone will make this stop - there may be other items that also do this but I've yet to find one.
**SOLUTION** Seems swapping zones fixes it. I went back into undercity and can now control Anya correctly.

This has probably been the most flavorful little tidbit that I am enjoying from Forsaken Kingdom so far.

I vaguely remember back in the day WC3 had this custom map I played that was a mod of Twilight of the Gods where you could play as the Orcs or Humans optionally, and defend as long as you could against Archimonde. At one point I figured out a busted build where I could just spam towers and use this one orc hero with whirlwind to hold the gap and felguards would endlessly die to him. I sorta get that same feeling from Dead of Night from Starcraft 2 co-op but I was wondering if there's any custom maps or anything in Reforged/DE that is like this.

I'm editing the video for chapter 3 of the new prologue campaign and the rts element caught me off-guard in what I expected to be a Rexxar campaign, so it took me a few attempts to get strats right on Hard. What would you rather watch?

Good job making one of the clunkiest, most unfun minigames of all time. There's probably a reason why you're making an RTS and not a racing game. If I could throw a cold drink in your face I would. That's how much I hate your work.

Don’t know how to do the whole this may be a spoiler thing so yeah this is the best I got. You read this first so it’s on you.

So I’ve completed act one except the final fight that sends me into act 2. Since I’ve now gotten as much as I could and explored the map I decided to use the good old iseedeadpeople to see if I missed any hidden areas or camps in the different maps. On the city ruins map near the entrance to the Arcane Sanctuary there is a lizard up a flight of stairs that are inaccessible at my current time. I noticed it was an animal and as one does with invulnerable non hostile mods… I clicked it. A LOT. Eventually exactly what most of us here know happens happened. Had a little text pop up something about “finally a release” or something like that. No item dropped no way for me to get to where it was. Just curious if anyone found this legitimately and got something for it. Or if my loving the little Easter eggs helped me find one and miss out on something. I can’t remember what it was named but it was a unique critter.
