The game keeps closing regardless of what type you try play ever since the update

same here just when i enter the game it crashes
Custom games crashing after load screen. “Scan and Repair” as well as “Check for Updates” on the launcher does not help.
try deleting the warcraft 3 folder u will lose ur elo and custom maps but should fix the crashing
I’m also having the same problem where as soon as I load into any map (custom games) it crashes immediately. I’ve scan and repaired, reinstalled, rebooted machine, deleted the maps and downloaded the latest that people are playing nothing works
Same issue here. After upgrading to 2.0.0.22389 crashes immediately on startup. Tried both scan and repair, and a full uninstall/reinstall to a different directory with no change in behavior.
How’s the PTR working for you?
Just installed PTR version and it’s doing the exact same thing.
I’d mention that in the PTR forum.
Include the behavior(s) of the crash. Black screen? Error messages? Freezes? Closure? Etc.
I can mention it in the PTR forum as well. Just to clarify this happens with both the live client and PTR client. Exact same behavior for both versions. Did not see this behavior prior to 2.0.x versions.
Yeah it’s good to mention that it’s happening in both versions.
once pressing on multiplayer then it wont show any custom game. Then crash. WTF is blizzard doing? End task and restart war3 numerous times still doesnt fix. How to play? When BLIZZARD will fix this kind of issue? Just letting people post on forum and then? They dont care because we bought the game.
The three rounds of bug fixes, plus the big fixes that are currently being tested on the PTR… equals Bliz doesn’t care?
Why not try the PTR to see if the issue is resolved or not there?
Such a big gaming company why doesnt test properly before releasing update suck like this? Is a shame that they have a huge team of devs but still releasing something like this. They need players who paid for this and sending bug in the forum? And praying that i am able to play this time.
The company size doesn’t matter. All studios big and small release games that have bugs for multiple reasons. For example,
Deadlines. Products can’t be eternally delayed to chase down bugs. Meaning, bugs in release that the studios know full well are there. Testing. Even with the luxury of delays, it’s not possible to catch every bug in testing. Priority. Regardless of size, not everything in a studio’s catalog has the same priority.
You’re behind on the times. The teams that dev’d WC3R were eliminated over four years ago. There is no dedicated team, as in the opposite of “huge”. Last anyone heard, it’s being out sourced to a studio that has other concurrent projects.
Yes of course, just like any game of any studio.
None of your tangent here is helping you. Like I said, what could help is testing the PTR to see what’s happening over there and reporting the results over there as well.
I tried PTR, i wanted to play custom map but there is no game in there.
And you saying about testing the PTR do you think everybody has the time to test on PTR and then do bug finding for a game who paid on it? This is just showing how irresponsible this gaming studio behaving. Bought this game for 3 months but problem persistently occuring more 2.5 months. Im not a kid just an working adult want to play this childhood game after whole day work! not game tester.

I didn’t say anything of the sort.
But since you brough it up, having time to play means that same time can be used to play the PTR. You for instance are having problems with live, so it’s not unreasonable to ask that you instead play on the PTR helping fix the bugs that you are complaining about. It’s not working on live, so what’s the difference?
Again as I said above, yes, just like every other game of every other studio.
No, Blueaug, for the handful of reasons I stated above, which you apparently did not read. The most you can say on this subject is that the entire gaming industry is irresponsible, which fine. You just can’t blame Bliz alone.
Then you use that exact same time helping so that fixes to your problems can come faster, or you sit it out and just wait.
Leviathan, i understand what you mean and thanks for explaining to me. You just mean that this is the norm of gaming studio will release game with bugs (yea, i will still saying this is very irresponsible behavior) and it doesnt fix it for months.
No idea what i can help on bug finding except telling that im using Legion laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, Nvidia 3070 Laptop graphic card, Windows 11 Home Single Language version 24H2.
Currently i cant even play single player, dont need to mention about multiplayer. This is just way too much releasing such LIVE VERSION.
I have no problem playing games on Steam.
You’d have point if everyone was having the same problem. But, we all aren’t. So, any testing and reporting you do could help you and anyone else who is having the same problem.
If you have the same problem on the PTR, that’s good info for Bliz to have. If the problem is fixed on the PTR then you just have to wait for it to go live.
Out of 5 games (happens 5 in a row), I experience a crash (custom map Direct Strike), where Warcraft 3 becomes unresponsive in Windows. It gives me the option to “Wait for a response” or “Close the program.” Sometimes, clicking “Wait” helps.
As for Blizzard, they took an old game that worked perfectly for over 10 years and updated it to this non-functional mess. I bought it just to play the Direct Strike map, and now every 5th game crashes after the loading screen ends, with Warcraft 3 becoming unresponsive.
It’s not okay to ruin a perfectly working old game. I played it 15 years ago without any issues, and I spent years on it—playing Dota, custom maps, campaigns, and local matches with friends at gaming clubs.
This isn’t the same as what you mentioned about other companies…
I’m shocked by this slap in the face from Blizzard—after not playing Warcraft 3 since 2012, I finally bought it again nearly 13 years later, only to find myself praying I don’t crash during the map loading screen, while some hosts already see me as a leaver and won’t let me into their lobbies.
