I am completely unable to play WC3 reforged. There are many symptoms, and the game appears to be basically completely broken, but to name a few…
- The settings menu has no settings in it. The tabs are visible, but the area that would be populated by settings is blank
- I cannot change it to “Reforged” graphics. The toggle is greyed out and a tooltip says I cannot change this setting while you’re in a game.
- I cannot start a campaign. When I click play, the game hitches, the mouse disappears, and then nothing happens.
- The exit game button in the main menu doesn’t work. It just does nothing.
- When I play multiplayer, no custom games appear. I am unable to start a game (same behavior as attempting to start a campaign).
- The World Editor also does not work. It loads the frames, but no information is populated.
I have tried:
- Reinstalling the game client
- Reinstalling battle.net
- Using the Scan and Repair utility
- Renaming my sound devices (? random advice someone had on the forum, although mine had default names?)
- Deleted all battle.net related data in the user AppData (local, roaming, locallow)
- No error logs are created. The Errors directory is empty.
Any ideas? Very disappointing that this issue has been ongoing for me for months.
