A couple of craphics tweaks needed.
- some tile texture does not look smooth
- shadows under catapoult are different volume depending of animation
- gold mines and other buildings like oil plant are changing compression when worker inside
- campaigns are a bit too simple with current resolution and ammount of units to be selected.
Other quality of live improvements ideas:
- would be great to be able to “multicast” when having a couple of mages selected.
- order queue with shift
- be able to cast bloodslust and heal when having ogres/paladins selected so you can cast by clicking on icons of selected units instead of what we have now (same with other mages). caster from group should be selected by who is the closest one to the target
- allow in map editor to add win conditions so we can create custom campaigns
- allow folder structure to maps like in legacy version
- build queue (there is enough space in UI to add this)
- small rebalance as balistas, paladins are kind of weaker. Make archers more usable?
Overall I am happy with what we got, thanks dev team!

Please not.
Show all queued actions but don’t queue units.
Don’t randomly use units to cast it, it just messes up mana
they should add a 64 bit executable.
For of War setting isn’t saved when game is closed and reopened, it defaults to “On” every time. It looks like when changing this setting the file “C:\Users<user>\Saved Games\Warcraft2Remastered\Warcraft2.ini” gets updated, however there isn’t an entry for For of War. So when the game loads it doesn’t read the Fog of War setting.
I must say i do like the Remaster version a lot. But there are some things on the list to fix/add.
Multiplayer:
- Please add: Map Preview
- Custom Maps dont work yet. They dont get automatically shared.
- Missing countdown
- Please add: Team color picking
- Please add: Computer AI type (Land, Sea, Air, Passive)
- Please add: Spectator feature
- Please add: Chat in game for only teamchat or all player chat.
Thanks a lot!

Bumping this for good messure.
Hoping that Blizzard will take this seriously and repair the game.
A Remastred version of any game is usually same as the old one, but with more options. Not less options with buggy gameplay.
Would really like to buy this version of the game. But my principals say no. And the lack of response from the developer is just sad.
I do hope this isn’t another cash & grab. So until the fat lady sings. I guess there’s hope.
Who am I ? Was known as Iv@nhoe on Kali and on BNE version of the game.

Blizzard, please get your community manager to provide some infos.
There are less and less lobbies by the day. Don’t let your remaster die because of your 0 communication style.
All we need is the same features we have in legacy, so people will buy and switch. Everything on top would be a great selling point to revitalise the player base

passive A.I would be a new thing. though the ground, sea and air ones were in the original game and should be added if they are not already present. they could add an A.I that only defends, that might help players train.
I have been waiting for WC2 Remastered for many years. It’s so cool you have finally made it, I appreciate it so much. Despite the first version looking a bit raw and undone, I hope you to work on releasing patches soon. Here are some bugs that come to my mind:
-
The introduction movie is stuttering and at some point looks like a slide show, though the audio is working fine
-
The “Play introduction” option is sometimes being reset to Off, though I definitely set it to On
-
It would be good if when going to “Save” in Campaign mode Enter button is treated as Yes. Currently, there is a bug with Enter button handled by the game itself (it shouldn’t when the menu is on the top). So you are in message mode right after closing the menu.
Thanks a lot in advance. I’ll keep you updated if I find more issues.

I was very surprised to find that Warcraft II does not include the Spanish voices present in its original version. Why did you remove the Spanish voices and leave only the English ones? Could you please address this in a future update?
Hi guys,
in W1 and 2, when I choose the capain, I got “couldn’t load texture hd/units/units_orc_sprites”…is it the same problem for you too?
not for me, i have no such issues in windows 7, 8.1 or windows 10(build 17134). only issue i have encountered is frame rate issues on my gtx 770m and the game loads slowly on my toshiba laptop, though the slow loading is my harddrive`s fault entirely. gaming is pretty much hopeless on it because of its slow speed.
Has anyone else experienced War2 having music but no sound effects? I want to play through the game, but without the sound effects, it loses too much for me to actually play.
2 campaign bugs:
- In xHuman 10 mission red, orange, black and yellow (players 1, 5, 6 and 8) have 5000 gold, so win condition if player has < 400 gold doesn’t work (Hold out until the besieging Orcs retreat).
- In xHuman12 mission violet (player 4) controller is set as Human, so Dentarg and Kargath Bladefist are not available.
Thanks for the patch. Here are a few requests for the next patch:
-An Allies menu Function hotkey
-Pressing Esc closes Allies menu rather than cancelling a building
-Remove player from Allies menu when they leave the game.
This avoids a lot of confusion like messaging someone who can’t receive the message. Also, if it’s a team game and a player leaves at the start of the game. The other team can quickly balance by having an observer.

One thing I did was made my own 4v4 map. All humans however I decided to try it out with computers. I was able to get the battle to work however when we destroyed everything no victory screen came up. Happened twice. Not sure whats going on but if a computer is in place as an ally, it doesn’t seem to understand we don’t need to destroy our own team. Unless I’m missing something here.
Just tried this for a 3rd time. No victory screen after a 4v4 with computers. To clarify this is a map i created.
Something is VERY WRONG with the original graphics team colour blending options in the unit portraits. https://imgur.com/a/XQ5OJDw
Three issues to report.

The forums link for both W1 & W2 remastered in the battle.net application is broken, and is a 404 page. It tries to take me to this page: eu.forums.blizzard .com/en/warcraft-ii/login/?utm_source=app-battlenetdesktop&utm_medium=internal&flow_type=sso&isMASDK=false

Certain orc/human wall textures in W2 look odd and don’t blend together, I had a link to a video to provide an example, but the forum won’t let me do so. Play Human mission 2 and go to where the captured Elves are to see.

When having HDR enabled on a monitor, exiting either game results in the screen looking very dark, and requires turning HDR off and back on again in Windows to resolve.
