That's not exciting.
A new hero is exciting. ACTUAL balance changes are exciting. A twist to the game is exciting.

A bug fix for sounds in DOTA? Who gives a crap? DOTA is TERRIBLE and for people that can't play the game it's meant to be...... go look at the Battle.net forums and see how many people are laughing at the fact that they noted 'Fixed a bug with DOTA sounds on Intel Macs' in the patch/change log.......
 
Well that is your opinion.

Blizzard obviously recognize how important DotA is to the survival of Warcraft 3. Wether you like it or not, it is a very popular game.

And they did make some balance changes.

Anyway, be interesting to see if War3 still crashes, have not really tested yet.


I am just happy they fixed the sound bugs (not dota ones). I reported it in another thread here and created a video detailing the problem and sent to Blizz. Looks like Blizzard acutally fixed it. Which is nice :)
 
Woot I might start playing again.

BTW rbarris, besides firing you, what can Blizzard do to you for breaking an NDA?
 
Well I have been playing a bit now, and it does sound like the majority of the sound issues have been fixed. However I checked the system log for anything unusual, and I am still getting errors regarding the sounds. Also the problem with the background music stopping seems to be still happening (you play a game and it only plays one track then stops);

I haven't figured out how to install it. When I tried to update the normal way by connecting to bnet, I got a "download failed" message, so I tried to download it from the website. I saw links to mirrored ftp sites the other day, but now they are gone.

This link:
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21220
says "Currently downloadable 1.22 patches are not available as yet, previous patches can be downloaded from our FTP page."

So how do I install it?

Edit to add: More specificly, it asks me to "launch BNUpate manually," but I don't know how to do that. There is a file in my warcraft folder by that name, but I don't know what to do with it. If I double click it, it tries to open it in photoshop!

Drag the patch file onto that application icon and it should run it and install it.

Hi - I had the same issue but you don't need to wait!
Once you've downloaded the patch using blizzards download in game and it fails navigate to

/ Applications / Warcraft III /

There is a file called BNUpdate
***
Rename this file to BNUpdate.app

Run this file it will auto update your warcraft and you'll now be 1.22

Cheers

That was from another thread. Very helpful.
 
Played one game though, and it looks like they still haven't fixed the start locations in that free for all map with 3 possible start locations on each side. In a four player game, there ought to be two players on each side (and fairly spaced in the corners). What's the point of a FFA game where 1 person has half a map to themselves and the other three start out on top of each other? Does the person with a side to themselves ever lose?
 
I was pretty surprised when I saw this patch come out. Good work Blizzard!

However, I still apple+m before quitting the game from the main menu. Can anyone confirm that it no longer freezes?
 
Sadly, the game STILL freezes after playing for a while when you quit it. I still apple+m it too. I don't even think about it now, I just do it sub-consciously!
 
Have you tried giving it like 30 seconds? On quitting mine now initially hangs for like 10 seconds and then it is fine and I'm no longer hung up.

*shrug*
 
I have never had a problem with WC3 freezing or anything. This update did no noticeable changes to my performance.

Everything runs just fine.

i would just like to say i am disappointed with the mac side of the patch. warcraft 3 tft still locks up my computer when i try to exit after playing a dota game. very annoying. i have to enter window mode every time i want to quit the game so that i can force quit. i sent in an error report for every crash hoping that someone would get the point. luckily i only have to play warcraft 3 on my mbp when i am away from home and i can use my pc most of the time. still i expected more. :mad:
 
ive tried waiting and it does nothing. only happens after i play dota and is very annoying. i have to force quit every time i close war3.
 
The fact it only happens after DotA, means Blizzard cannot fix it. Its obviously linked to something in the DotA map. So I wouldn't blame them.
