Hoping a thread like this gets noticed so the Multiplayer can get a little more love. It’s pretty barebones there at the moment.

Thank You Blizzard!!! Warcraft 2 Remastered is Everything I Was Looking For!
Hello, fellow heroes of Azeroth!
I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU, Blizzard! Warcraft 2 Remastered has truly exceeded all my expectations. I’ve already spent hours battling my friends, and I know many more will follow. It’s everything I was hoping for, and I’m so glad to see this classic revived.
That being said, I do have a few thoughts on the multiplayer experience that might enhance things further.
1. Team Color Selection
It would be fantastic if we could choose our team color! There’s just something special about picking your color—whether you’re the bold red, cool teel, or something else entirely. It helps add that extra layer of personal connection to each match.
2. HD Graphics Take Some Getting Used To, But They’re Great
At first, it took me a little while to adjust to the HD graphics. But after only a few games, I’ve come to prefer them over the original pixelated style. Honestly, I never thought I’d say that, but Blizzard’s work here is top-notch. It’s clean, it’s beautiful, and it brings new life to the game.
3. Map Previews Would Be Helpful
Right now, choosing a map feels a bit random, as I’m not too familiar with all of them. A small preview of the map before we select would make a huge difference in helping us get a better sense of what we’re about to dive into. It’d just give a little more context, especially for new players or those unfamiliar with the maps.
4. A Player Menu Would Be Nice
This one might be a little more nitpicky, but it would be helpful to have a menu that shows all the players in the game. I was in a match where someone left, and all it said in the chat was “left.” I couldn’t figure out who it was. In another match, I ended up on a team with AI by accident. A simple player list would help keep track of teams and make it easier to see who’s in the game and what’s happening.
5. Unit Navigation/AI Pathing
Some units, like the gnomish submarine, seem to navigate around obstacles really well, while others get stuck on terrain. It might be something worth fine-tuning, as it can lead to some frustrating moments when a unit can’t move the way you expect.
It might seem like I’m nitpicking, but I just want to see this game reach its full potential. I’m incredibly happy with what you’ve done here, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves. You’ve brought back a legend, and I know this game will continue to bring joy to fans for years to come.
Thanks again, Blizzard! Keep up the amazing work!

Please Blizzard fix the multiplayer issues fast. Maybe invite some of the active community for feedback. People hesitate to switch to remastered and are already turning back to GoG/WarOnline versions of the game because of the issues mentioned in the opening post.
Multiplayer is extremely pointless as of now. No Fog of war AND you can set your UI Scale to Fixed and put the slider all the way to the left which also affects the whole view, not just UI.
The result is that you now can see half the map or up to a quarter of the map as your view depending on map size.
That’s not really an issue for me. It’s great to have a more zoomed out option
FoW is an issue.
I am having the same problem with Both WC1 & 2 Remasters. Reached out to support and all they did was send me a list of steps to follow (which I already did before contacting them). At this point, I just requested a refund for the remasters since I already had WC3 Reforged before purchasing.
Lol
Careful

I got multi fourm bans last n year talking about war2.

Map in-game browser:
- I have over 6000+ custom puds collection. Currently the Custom Scenario and Multiplayer map browser doesn’t support subfolders browsing like the original game, meaning I cannot play the maps in a good fashion.
New? Map Editor does not launch: (Warcraft II Remastered\x86\Warcraft II Map Editor.exe)
- Unable to find Warcract II data file: ‘support\tomes\tome.1’
Old Map Editor does launch: (Warcraft II Remastered\x86\Data\Files\Warcraft II Map Editor.exe)
- Unable to find Warcract II data file: ‘support\tomes\tome.1’
Multiple maps folders:
- Warcraft II Remastered\x86\Maps
- folder that takes maps without subdirectories, show in-game
- Warcraft II Remastered\x86\Data\Maps
- unsure probably original maps backup
- Warcraft II Remastered\x86\Data\OrigMaps
- probably original maps backup

Personally, I think they should add the grid hotkey layout from starcraft 2 and war3. For me alone it’s made the games infinitely easier to pick up and more intuitive to play. It’s one of those “remove the bar to entry” type changes, but it would make a lot of sense. Or at the very least, make the hotkeys changeable. From what it would seem, neither 1 or 2 are able to change them whatsoever

i tested it on windows 8.1 and while it worked well, my fan ran constantly at maximum. i have now also tested it in windows 7 and it also works well there.
It appears to only happen when selecting one peasant only.
So far having a blast aside from some of the early bugs. Can we get a way to watch the cinematics in the options menu? I agree with color selections for sure. fixed order option in multiplayer. Ranked system like ladder?
For whatever reason Warcraft I remastered works but both Warcraft II versions crash when opened!

The custom games are so close of being fleshed out just needs a few things. As far as I am aware of, there is no way to set up a multiplayer game with a password or private. I was testing something out with multiplayer and people kept joining. I was trying to set up a 8 man FFA with AI. Even with title being “Do not join please.” People still did.
I wish we could have something single player customs like we do in multiplayer. I was able to do a FFA with 7 AI and myself. I would also like to pick my own colors in multiplayer along with being able to use “map default” as resources. The maps i create have resources amounts set and i would like to use those.
Allow more options in multiplayer and allow us to do single player custom games without having to go through the multiplayer lobby. There is much more customization in regards to teams then the custom scenario has. Other then that, i’m loving it.

Dear Dev-Team!
Thank you very much, the remaster is very much appreciated!
Some important feedback for the MP experience: Currently the host has no option to boot disruptive players from the game, also it is impossible to change a players team as the host. These features are very important for online communities to function well.
There is a Warcraft 2 community that might switch over from the GoG version to retail, now that the game has been remastered. I am holding my breath for future updates!

For anyone getting the " “OpenGL 4.6 failed to initialize” error when they try to launch. Check to make sure you are plugged into your graphics card. That should fix the problem.

Cant buy the fane in Brazil, the biggest bug in the game atm.
I was resigned to discover that my laptop is a Hd 5500 and does not support Open gl4.6 I doubt they will lower the requirements.
it was frustrating because nowhere on the page to buy the game warns you of this, I am considering asking for my money back, my pc is a 5 generation I 5 with 64x architecture and 12 of RAM, what part of the requirements I did not meet to enjoy this game. even warcraft Reforged me opening but a 2d remake not Incredible !!!
I wrote to blizzard support they just told me update your drivers but everything is in order! seriously I really liked the graphical renovation but not being able to play it disappoints me terribly.

The Tides of Darkness Orc campaign is bugged on level VII: The Fall of Stromgarde. I have played through it twice and it just won’t complete. I recaptured the orc transports and destroyed Stromgarde, and completely killed every enemy and enemy building, and roamed the entire map multiple times trying to find a single enemy left, but there’s nothing. I can’t progress the campaign for this reason.

Thanks this is awesome!
For WC2 remastered though I am getting constant crashes. I played for a couple hours last night and at first I was just doing the orc campaign. I crashed on the first mission once and the second mission twice. After the third crash (all reported with the auto-report thing) I decided to switch to multiplayer. This worked for a while but then I crashed mid-game, joined another and crashed immediately. So at this point I stopped playing. Hope you can fix these soon and let me know if there’s any way I can collect info for you about the crashes!
