Warcraft III Patch 1.17 Now Available

Hey, the new damage events and actions could let me get rid of TONS of Battledome's code. Maybe I'll go back and do that. Although I'll have to test if their native implementation is faster than mine (probably).

Hmmm, I seem to have a problem as well. Whenever the patch is completed, I receive the message "Unable to write file to disk, patch failed".... Then whenever I want to play TFT or RoC I get the message "Error couldn't find war3.exe, make sure your warcraft III is fully installed and that your warcraft III (Or Frozen Throne) is in the CD-ROM drive"....

I tried reinstalling the game, and downloading the patch again but I receive the same damned message.... I reinstalled the game about 5 times but with no luck.

Please help me.

Make sure you don't have a crack.

And did you download it trough battle.net

Well, I clicked on the B.Net button on the main menu for the patch, I always do it this way.

Well.. do you use a crack?

If you don't, then I can't think anything else that could be wrong.

Download the 1.17 standalone patch. Its pretty big file but will save you the time of re-patching again and again on net. Once downloaded, try to patch. If it screwed ur warcraft3, take a backup of ur custom maps (if any), replays (same rule), etc and then re-install reign of chaos, frozen throne, run the stand alone patch and play on b.net. If it still does not work, I cant help much!!!

Crack is an file that you copy over the existing .exe file and that lets you play the game without using the CD. Pretty useful, but you can't patch your Warcraft with it.

No, I never ever used cracks before.

Well.. it's kind of close to 'il*egal' (I never use curses on this website).

If I have the real game I don't usually bother to get a crack for it.
