Problems updating my W3

Hello, I bought the Warcraft 3 humans vs orc package and I cant update the game, I have never played it before and it seems I cant play it now either. It states “Something went wrong while trying ot launch a program. Please try restarting Battle.net and/or your computer.” Ive done both and the problem persists. Please help.

humans vs orcs package? what are you talking about?

If you’re talking about Warcraft 1 and 2, the original versions can be hard to get working properly on modern versions of windows. The “remasters” should work though.

If we’re actually talking about Warcraft III, you should verify that you meet the system requirements, as this kind of error message suggests you might not. Post your specs please

The system requirements are significantly higher than the original game, so if you’re using an old PC that you played the original on, that won’t cut it.

Thank you for answering, my specs are: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. It wont tell me how much RAM I have nor what processor it just says “Not available”

There are a lot of CPUs which fit this generic description which wouldn’t be able to run the game. It is extremely odd that Windows isn’t telling you what specific CPU it is. What version of Windows are you running?

you can try downloading CPU-Z here: (copy paste into browser)

(Click Setup - English below where it says “Classic Versions” on the page)

And see if this software can tell you more than Windows is.
