To summarize: Nothing shows on the options tab, and i can’t exit the game afterwards. Furthermore, custom games and lan games don’t work, i’ll lose the ability to create or see if there’s any lobby if i had clicked on options.
There is a youtube video showing this exact problems i have, since i can’t include links in here i’ll write down the video title: Blizzard did it again! Clap GG, uploaded by Zerain (5 subscribers)
I also have several other issues for Custom games:
- There is no loading screen, whenever a game starts i’ll be frozen in the lobby screen until the map finishes loading
- There is no scoreboard after a custom game ends, which means i’m unable to save a replay, and this is crucial because a lot of the RPG communities require replays otherwise i’ll get banned
- After a custom game ends, or after quitting the game (not exiting warcraft 3), my game crashes and has to re-launch wc3. This is not only time-consuming but also inconvenient as i could miss out on the remake lobbies, in fact, i’ve missed out on a lot of lobbies because of this
- Being unable to change the settings, especially the graphics is bad because: some RPG maps that i play work so much worse with reforged, some even refuse to work which means i’ve been unable to play any custom games ever since the 2.0 patch.
- And whatever the default resolution is, it isn’t optimized so everytime i alt + tab out, i get a black screen for 3-5 seconds. This is very inconvenient, and can lag my laptop out a lot (it spikes to 100% CPU usage during this)
- Even if some of the maps do work with reforged graphics, the models become invisible and untargettable → which is unplayable and affects the gaming experience greatly
- I’ve followed instructions on all the topics on this forum in the past week, and nothing seems to work.
- I’ve noticed i’m missing a Warcraft III registry, maybe this could be the root of my problems.
- I’ve tried uninstalling wc3 via bnet, via control panel, switching to a new local administrator account, re-installing windows, checking sound devices, checking control folder access, checking onedrive, etc. Nothing worked
