2.0.1 Build 22425 PTR Patch Notes

Can’t assigned uproot for night elves customkeys, its just drop back to “R” even if you specify it for ancient protector. Also other trees dont have this button on customkeys setting.
Also would be great add combo keys for hero inventory - for example ctrl + a; ctrl + r; alt + w; shift + e and etc.

It seems the “CLASSIC” icons mark up the skins or not depends on whether you consider them to be different from the general models in Classic mode? If so the following skins without “CLASSIC” icons their models are also different from the ordinary:

  • Dagren the Orcslayer, Sir Gregory Edmunson
  • Halahk the Lifebringer, Lord Nicholas Buzan
  • Uther
  • Balnazzar
  • Varimathras
  • Azgalor

*Kel’Thuzad’s portrait model is different from general Lich, which is former version, though his unit model is consistent with the current version. Would you consider reuse the former model [there is one still remain in World Editor which name is “Kel’Thuzad (Lich, cinematic)”, may need scale bigger] to match his portrait and make his model unique, or just replace his portrait to general Lich’s?
Note: his portrait glitched again with update 22444.

The models of the following skins are the same as (or extremely close to) the general version, but their voices are different:

  • Muradin
  • Kael
  • Cairne
  • Rokhan
  • Drek’Thar
  • Tyrande
  • Maiev
  • Sylvanas (DR)
  • Gazlowe

*Kel’Thuzad also has a different voice compared to the general Lich, however his skin failed to use it.

Even if there is no visual difference, the difference in voices can still bring some different gaming experience,
Perhaps for some players, even just having a campaign hero’s name can be a different experience.
Therefore, would you consider expanding the skins with “CLASSIC” icon, or subdividing the icons?
Talk about the names, the following skins don’t display their original name, but melee heroes’:

  • Magroth the Defender
  • Antonidas
  • Kael
  • Drek’Thar
  • Detheroc
  • Magtheridon
  • Mal’Ganis
  • Kel’Thuzad
  • Maiev
  • Tyrande
  • Cenarius
  • Chen
  • Jaina
  • Ghostly Antonidas

There are also other bugs and flaws about skins:

  • Maiev’s icon not hers but general Warden’s.
  • Rexxar skin’s anti-air attack has visual delay.
  • Varimathas’s model is same as Tichondrius, however his icon is general Dreadlord’s (not a really SKINS bug but database/World Editor’s, should be fixed easily).

Again, could you consider let Admiral Proudmoore use his own icon instead of Paladin’s (the path in World Editor is ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNProudmoore.blp)?

Also, from certain PTR update(s) [probably some minor update(s) of 22439], these bugs appeared:

  • New added hero skins cannot be selected,
  • Kel’Thuzad (recurred with 22444) and Cairne’s portrait have zoom issue.

As of version 22452, the above bugs still exist.

Speaking of new skins, DK Arthas, Mannoroth, unmounted Thrall and Malfurion, normal Illidan could all be options (Mannoroth lacks voice but general Pitlord or Azgalor’s voice can be given). It’s just suggestion not press, you have more important business to deal, many thanks for all this work and attempts at improvement.

The above applies to the Classic mode, thanks for your reading.

Here are mainly pre-game interface related bugs & flaws:

The “” button lacks a hotkey.

Some hotkeys don’t work, like “CREATE” “START GAME” “CONTINUE”.

Before 2.0.0 players can switch map in list with directional keys, however from 2.0.0 directional keys can only highlight instead of switch the status interface to the corresponding map, players have to click (each) map to check its status, which is very inconvenient, please restore the original function or consider adding an option to switch.

Cannot use directional keys to fine-tune smoothly in OPTIONS. I mean, players can fine-tune with directional keys, but need to do like this: f.e. if you want to fine-tune maximum fps or camera distance, you need click the cyan circle first, then press ←/↓ or →/↑ once to tune, if your fine-tuning isn’t finished yet then you have to click the circle again then press directional keys once, repeat this process until you get the value you want. Please, just let players can fine-tune meters without repeat redundant clicks.

The icon of Bronze Dragon roost in HOTKEY CUSTOM interface is Red, not Bronze’s.

It’s so nice that you allow CLASSIC players can turn off HUD sidepanels, could you do one more a favor to let sidepanels of status bar on top can also be turned off?

“MUSIC”→“ALL” doesn’t play all three WARCRAFT’s but only 1 & 2’s, please clarify. Also, could you consider add an option that play all three game’s music? E.g. play playing race’s music plus 1 & 2’s, even an option to shuffle all three WARCRAFT’s f.e. playing as Human but music of other three races also have chance to play.

Here’s also a list of things waiting to be fixed/adjusted:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/warcraft3/t/bugs-eg-certain-units-cannot-use-way-gate-still-not-fixed/33852
I understand that some stuff may need to be treated carefully due to their involvement in balance plus there are other business that need to be prioritized so their fixes/adjustment may be delayed, but at least get this “certain flying units cannot use Warp Gate” bug fixed since it’s malfunction of one of the neutral semi-infrastructures and may affect the results of matches/tournaments.

Hi, first of all thank you for making new updates for this game and listening to us! I would like to let you know that I noticed some bugs:

  1. When finding a match there is a sound that the match is found and the searching eye says the match is found but I cant get into the match so I need to restart the game.
  2. Sometimes when I play with my friend I get into the match alone without him and I must play 1v2, it does not say he left the game. For him its still searching a match.
  3. I dont think the match history is working because many matches are not in my match history and I think my lifetime stats are not counting but I dont get the error faild to retrieve match data, that works now for me and let say last 10 matches apper in my match history but older matches not.
  4. In turtle rock map sometimes the skins are not working but only on turtle rock. On other maps sometimes the icon of a hero is without skin but the hero is with skin.
  5. I dont know if have the time maybe to optimize the classicHD and reforged. I get only 55 fps but I got Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070 and 16GB ram and the utilization is very poor in task manager it only uses like 5% of my processor and graphisc card but the game plays on 55 fps, in battle 30 fps.

The new hotkey system is great now and thank you again for making this game still alive!

Please fix these 3 errors in version 2.0.1

  1. Warcraft 3Reforged2.0.0 Can’t open new whisper channels in lobby
    if you’re in a custom game lobby, there’s no friends list to check to whisper a friend unless you open the Invite to Game menu and right click their name, which pulls up an option to whisper to them. However, this whisper option does not work. Prior to patch 2.0.0, this was not an issue.

  2. No friend who is playing Warcraft 3 Reforged 2.0 can be displayed in the friend list of Blizzard BN platform program. You will not know which friends are playing Warcraft 3 Reforged 2.0 from the list bar on the right side of the platform, because It doesn’t show up at all. This will fool a lot of people into thinking no one is playing the game.

  3. Please set the appearance skin shape check in the collection in the F10 options to a function that allows you to uncheck and save the settings! Otherwise, every time we uncheck the skin, it will appear again the next time we open the game. It will return to the checked state of using the hero appearance skin.

So, this bug still remains with PTR 22456, it should have been around since 1.35 or 1.34 even earlier — doesn’t occur every time after launching the game, but high chance it will:

After launching the game, selecting “SINGLE PLAYER” will incorrectly show players create multiplayer game interface (normally, it should be entered by selecting “MULTIPLAYER” → “CUSTOM GAMES” → “CREATE”), players have to press/click ESC/BACK three times to return to the main menu, then select “SINGLE PLAYER” again to enter it normally.

Also, during normal melee, after loading a save, the following bugs occurred:

  • Most buildings lost their portraits (guessing it’s due to some zoom-related bug).
  • Some unit models have shrunk (especially bad for creeps).
  • Some creeps lost their models and unselectable.
  • DK’s portrait became DK Arthas (unit model still melee version)

Yes, what I found was that the portrait and animation window of Lich Kel’Thuzad were incorrect. In three consecutive ptr versions, the fps issue has been fixed, which is good. Other menu related issues have also been resolved, and its response is very fast. Actually, the main issue now is still the model and portrait problem, but that’s already quite good

as far as I can tell, this was a battle.net app issue, not a game issue, and has been fixed already, as I can now see both myself and others as playing war3 in the friends list

Where is it? Can’t install. Pin says it’s in the ‘regions’ but where I see only America Europe Asia

on the bnet app, right next to the region switcher button, labeled “game version”

Fix the multiplayer matchmaking—it’s so bad. As a bad player, I keep getting matched with other bad players on my team, while the opposing team has very high-level players. I think you should focus much more on fixing this rather than just working on custom games or the campaign. Once the campaign is over, people stop playing.

The matchmaking system needs serious improvement. Come on, stop playing around and fix it. I can never improve my stats if I keep getting matched with players worse than me while the other team gets players with 4000 ratings or 20+ levels. It’s impossible to fix my stats in this setup!

Please stop messing around. I hope you’re joking with us, because so far, you haven’t changed anything in the multiplayer team matches.

The “interesting” thing is: after loading a save, along with the most building’s portraits going wrong, Kel’Thuzad and Cairne’s are back to normal. Confirmed still remain with 22462.

Yes, I found that the portrait issue with Kel’Thuzard still exists in version 2.0.1.22462, and the problem of low FPS has returned. Hahaha, it seems that fixing the issue is indeed difficult to do :rofl:

Version 2.0.1.22462. Now fps drops to single digits even on the 1st prolog mission. Just… how…?

Hello, will you correct the fps drop? and also the AI?? Before in 1.36 or previous versions the insane AI looked more competitive now nothing to see, they could return or add said AI

Can y’all take a look at the World Editor, Ever since 24 player slots came out, I have been receiving a bug where my editor will freak out over a time of use, it will cause itself to error and crash in the long run. I have to save the map and restart it before I can do anything else. I even send it in via the reports.

Weapon Intervals still use 0-1 instead of 1-2 which was changed during 24 players. In order for it to work, I have to create an Interval Variable and make it set to 0 for it to work on attack speed. Base damage works, just not the attack intervals.

Spells when you are triggering them, you have to set them to -1, this meaning if a spell is level 1 on a unit, it is default set to level 0. which does NOT make any sense. please change this to be level 1 with level 1.

Please allow for map makers to disable or enable player hotkeys. Allow map makers to have the power to disable this function. a lot of changes that are done, SHOULD be a check mark for map makers, so we don’t have to worry about our maps being destroyed.

I would like to point the issue of matchmaking in 3v3 and 4v4 AT. The waiting time is sometimes 15 minutes and the match quality is bad. The idea of AT to be on its own is good but I dont think the player base of warcraft is large enough to make it work. Maybe consider to put back like it was before patch 2.0. Because the matches were found in 1-2 mins and the quality was decent.

Not like before, but they should make RTs to get many more ratings that go against lower ratings. This way, the RTs have more chance, maybe 500 ratings higher than the AT.

if they fix the Rating ofc
