Hey Folks,

We’re having trouble reproducing this here at the office, so we’d like to gather some more information.

1. Does unplugging the sound device and plugging it back while in-game fix the problem?
2. If you are experiencing the sound issue, please send a DxDiag to [email protected] or post your DxDiag in this thread if you are comfortable. Obtaining a DxDiag is explained in this post. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/12988

Thanks for your support!

Hello

We’ve gotten a few reports of players not having sound since the latest patch.

We’re having trouble reproducing this here at the office, so we’d like to gather some more information.

1. Does unplugging the sound device and plugging it back while in-game fix the problem?
2. If you are experiencing the sound issue, please send a DxDiag to [email protected] or post your DxDiag in this thread if you are comfortable. Obtaining a DxDiag is explained in this post. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/12988

Thanks for your support!

Hey Antonio, I recommend trying to use windowed fullscreen for now to try the larger resolutions.

For those of you getting the silent crash, does it happen in SD mode? Does it happen on all graphics settings? Specifically try changing your shadows, occlusion, and lighting settings. Thanks for helping me look into this one!

Thank you for the report! We will look into it!

Thanks for the reports, there are two separate issues in this thread.

1. Those of you who have posted a UUID, it looks like it’s a crash with Legion TD.
2. Those of you without a UUID (silent crash), it’s a different issue. Please respond here with your system specs and what race you were playing when you crashed.

We are aware of this issue and are still investigating. Some players have had success with workarounds in this thread.

Black screen after last update Warcraft III Reforged Beta Bug Report

This fix worked for me using a microsoft surface pro. Windows 10 type control panel in search box clicked hardware and sound Clicked NVIDIA Control Panel manage 3d settings popped up. used drop down menu to change to High -performance NVIDIA processor then clicked apply. I also had to close the game and restart it. Thank you Denos for your help. I havn’t played this game since before frozen throne and am excited it’s back. Have fun everyone!

Sorry to hear that it’s not working for all. Another user had success by enabling it for all programs not just Warcraft III, can you give that a try?

Crossposting for helpfulness.

We have a theory that this is happening for folks with 2 GPUs in their systems, which is a common setup with laptops.

You can set which specific GPU to use using the following guide:

Tech Advisor Set which GPU to use for individual programs or games for peak performance

We show you how to set a default graphics card in Windows 10, be it Nvidia or AMD.

Please let us know if it works as we continue to look into this issue.

Thanks for the reports on this issue. We are looking into it.

Hey Folks, sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing. We are aware of the issue and looking into it.

The Mac client is now available for testing!

If you are crashing the client should provide a UUID. Can you respond with that ID please. It should look like something like this: 25894FD8-C6C0-4614-9F57-0798082C2A8B

Hey Extracheese, Thanks for the report! Any chance you were resizing your window when you experienced this crash, or any part during your gameplay?

It definitely is worth us having if you dont mind sending it over at [email protected]

Hello Masterpinky, Thank you for the report. We just patched which would explain why you are seeing different behavior. What OS and graphic card are you using?

Howdy Friends,

We hope everyone that didn’t have weekend plans will join us - especially Mac players - to test this update. Release is on the horizon, and we appreciate your contributions to the process. Go team.

SPECIFIC CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS

• Performance optimizations and stability improvements for menus and gameplay
• Locale fonts updated

BUG FIXES

• All locales have functioning voice over and portrait animations again
• Classic camera restored
  • Dev Note: The camera position moved by ~10% when we started drawing the game fullscreen to support the new console UI - the original game stopped drawing where it met the original UI. We’re working on adjustments to the washed out team colors making Wisps or similar elements with transparency faint in classic.
