[BUG REPORT] Warcraft 3 crashing upon start [FIXED]

[quote=“207643381386”]Hello, I can’t get Warcraft 3 to start at all on my machine.
The regular Warcraft 3 and the Warcraft 3 1.29 PTR worked fine.

This is all I get when I try to launch the game:

-Tried reinstalling, clearing all files
-Tried to start as admin
-Tried compatibility mode
-Tried repairing via launcher

I’m on a W10 machine build 1709.[/quote]

I had the same issue except that it crashed immediately upon start without even reaching menu. I just got up a crash report screen after it crashed. Beforehand i had error message telling me i need directx 8.1 or newer which was fixed by reinstalling the game and lead to this issue instead.

The same happened to another game i played called warsow. Somebody told me to enable sound and I had no sound device connected. I fixed this issue by just enabling sound by plugging in my headphones. It was a fix for both warsow and warcraft3.
