Whenever you load a campaign save, there will be some models that are just missing. You can see their shadows but you can’t target or interact with them. This is annoying in most of the campaigns but the founding of durotar is unplayable because of it. This bug has existed for months and the only “fix” there really is is just beating every mission in one sitting and never saving. I don’t even have reforged, i have the original disc and i still cant even play my game properly.

At this point, there are some bug report topics covering “invisible units” issue. To this day (25.02.2025) from the day of release Warcraft 2.0, Blizzard didn’t answer neither repair this problem.
I also wanted to play durotar campaing and it worked. How? Basically these are the steps that helped me play it with saving (to not go through whole campaing which is in my opinion imposible if you want to enjoy style that this camping is created for):
- Find your CD old version of warcraft 3 before reforged,
- Install it without any patches or connecting with blizzard,
- If you want you can learn how to manually upgrade resolution to for example 1920x1200 like me,
- Enjoy durotar campaing,
And yes it is still working for me on windows 11 (However I have “outdated” graphics card with gtx 1050 Ti)
I came here to report the same issue. For me, it happened on in the mission “Key of the Three Moons”. It works fine, until loading in a save, then some models only show a shadow, and cannot be clicked.
I’m playing on an old game copy on the Reforged patch, so I still have classic graphics.

thiss issue has been around for a very long time. If you don’t want invisible models, you’ll have to complete a map in one sitting.
If you play on an old game copy on Reforged patch you are not playing classic copy but the reforged one with just classic graphics. So the issue still exist.
I think that downloading a classic game copy from blizzard is now imposible (to be clear downloading an old version before warcraft 2.0)? So you need either install it from cd or from somewhere in internet with patch date maximum to the day of reforged release (or before warcraft 2.0 because at the end of reforged it was more or less fixed).
Popping into this thread to share a slightly older thread that’s still active. We’ve fleshed out some of the details of when the issue appears.
Hasn’t been acknowledged by any support staff yet. Here’s hoping it can be fixed soon.
Durotar campaign is too long
Also, when I pay 20+ EUR for the game that was released 20 yars ago (worked perfectly fine back then) I want it to work without glitches

Cool story bro, maybe check the dates on posts before you reply to them
And sorry to inform you there were still plenty of glitches in the campaign maps and game 20 years ago. It wasn’t perfect back then either
What are you so salty about, CaptainJack? That people are trying to get to Blizzard’s attention a big bug? Sorry, but if something doesn’t work, it needs to be said. Saving and loading are a natural part of the game.
And Rexxar’s campaign is unplayable, to be fair.

If you want to get blizzards attention to a “big bug” then maybe make your own thread about it instead of digging up multi month old threads.
Also, t his is (invisible units after loading a save) supposedly fixed in the new PTR build anyway
