Thanks for the report!

Appreciate the patience everyone! I know it was frustrating. I also appreciate the activity on the thread <3

Howdy Friends,

. Now, on to what’s plaguing many of our hearts and minds:

• We’re still working on optimizations and more meaningful settings so frame rate is acceptable when things get real (see 4v4 players if you need to channel feelings about this one)
• Custom games are rounding the bend; we’re resolving multiple issues with lobbies and easily reproducible disconnects on popular maps

SPECIFIC CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS

• Multiple fixes for crashes
• A host of art updates to models, animations, and effects
• Chat window can now be embiggened in multiple directions
• Collections activated
  • Select which hero will fight for you on the field of battle
  • Begin climbing the proverbial win mountain toward portrait unlocks (progress will be reset when we go live)

KNOWN ISSUES

• Custom lobbies and games

Thanks for the report CanFight!

Thanks everyone who provided your UUID. Everyone who supplied the code is experiencing the same issue, it’s just more prevalent on Windows 8.1 compared to other OS. While we investigate, some people have gotten around the issue by updating their OS. Thank you all for your patience!

Hey Calvinxito, based on the error you are receiving it seems like you are trying to play the Classic game, not Reforged. Are you on a Mac by chance?

Thank you for the report!

That’s the one! These reports will help us investigate the root cause.

Thanks for the report!

For those of you getting start on load up crashes and are not running Windows 8.1. Please provide your error UUID so we can take a look. This should pop-up when you crash. Thank you!

Thank you for all the reports. I’ve added this to the known issues list.

Hey Ender, Thanks for the report. I’ve added this to the known issues list.

I actually saw your other thread about it as well, Dusk. And so you guys know, that indeed seems to be how you can get into this state. Thanks so much for the info everyone! You guys are awesome <3

Uhh, how? hahah. I’ve tried just playing games and right clicking onto water/over terrain that i shouldnt be able to walk over and that does not work. There must be something else going on here. If anyone has any more info that would be awesome!

Horche:

• Entangled gold mine - visual bug -> looks like it is always full of wisps even when empty
• bear form of Druid - > Shrinks when going in to bear form
• Auto-cast of Druid of talon for faerie fire is hardly visible
• rejuvination -> Animation is barely visible, HoT looks like priest heal as opposed to distinct visual effect
• Farie Dragon cocoon form -> does not get the same visual effect as in original, just normal Dragon form but shriveled in to ball
• Chimera -> projectile for corossive breath appears to come from a bit of a distance infront of the chimera as opposed to the chimera itself
• Moon well - they look like they are always full, even when they have no mana. If i recall correctly, the moon juice disappears visually in original, does not do so in here.

Thanks for the report! While all these are not on the Known Issues List (some are) they are actually all known issues for us!

Hope you guys are enjoying Night Elf so far!

ZerberuS:

I had the same issues as mentioned above when playing.

For me, it seem not to be related to the hardware performance. It’s more likely when new assets like sounds, graphics, etc. are loaded for the first time (and not only affecting your own created assets, but when ever a player creates a new units, new sound, the stutter will affect everyone).

It is at least my perception.

This makes sense as that’s currently a known issue, the first time assets are loaded it can cause the game to take a hit in performance. With that being said, we have noticed a drop in performance with AMD graphics cards in particular as well, so if any of you guys are running AMD its likely a side affect of that as well.

I’d appreciate some DXDiags as well though, please send to [email protected]. Our compatibility team is dope and in case there are some new issues buried away in here i’d like to surface them

Thanks for all the info so far guys, continue to keep this thread active, im monitoring it pretty closely.

Ishnu’ aHowdy Friends,

KNOWN ISSUES

INCOMING

• More improvements to chat experience/functionality
• Custom lobbies and games

Is there any pattern you guys are noticing? Like it’s happening when a building is first being built, or when you start fighting your opponent?

Adp160:

Try opening “C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Warcraft III Beta\War3Preferences.txt” in notepad then scroll down to “hd=0” and change it to “hd=1”.

This is a solid work around. The other option would be to outright delete your War3Preferences.txt and then relaunching. If neither of those fix the issues you guys are having let me know.

Thanks guys! Have no fear, the attacks to indeed deal damage, and this is a known issue! Thanks for the report
