"The founding of Durotar" campaign broken since patch

I have the same issue. It’s now impossible to play and finish The Founding of Durotar. I won’t even hassle trying to fix it alone, because the OP already did everything that’s possible. Single player campaigns are the main reason why I’ve bought the Reforged version and now I can’t finish the last one. I hope it’ll get fixed in the near future, as it appears that someone is finally working on the game.

Just found this bug, reloaded 4 times, no success. Just bought this game after not having pc since 2016, was super stoked to replay the Founding of Durotar.

At least when Sentinel level 4 kept crashing the game I could save it every 3 minutes and finish the level, Durotar is unplayable.

Exact same problem, as soon as i leave the area - there´s no going back and im stuck in the Matrix. Pls fix this soon, its truly sad.

Same issue on newest patch.

No chance to change the map back to the main map of Durotar. The transition triggers have somehow been broken. But I dont know how, I would guess the cached saves of the heroes is broken and the mini cut scene does not stop due to the heroes not being initialized. (You see that your heroes are not spawned by the game as they should).

Tried from a new game and an old save file I had, neither worked. Went to do the Thunder lizard quest and it just wouldn’t load my characters when I tried to come back.

yep. i am searching so hard online for any fixes and apparently im outta luck. Thankfully i stumbled on this forums so i can share my pain. I couldnt even get past the first map in Founding of Durotar.

I tried to jump into different sub areas and once I try to return to the main map with Durotar, both my cursor, UI and characters are missing. Just the camera panning onto the map where the supposed exit is. Strange. Hope this gets fix soon

Adding another thing: the bug occurs regardless of whether you use Classic graphics or Reforged graphics. Since changing the graphics actually loads two entierly different sets of maps, this means that the bug is not within the Rexxar campaign’s maps, but in the ability of the game to transition between maps.

Seriously blizzard, having the same problem here. I just bought reforged to play this campaign (and because right now i dont have my tft cds with me) and im very upset that i exactly cant do that. It is completely baffling how blizzard took one of their best games and turned it to sh*t.

I’ve also just found that I’m having this trouble. Tried repairing, tried reinstalling, then finally found this forum that seems to point to the latest patch. Hopefully somebody at Blizz sees this, too.

There was a “hotfix” today.

At least loading a save game from Thunder Ridge did not fix this issue.

But apparantly the hot fix patched almost nothing and made some stuff worse.

Edit: A new save does not work either.

Still same bug: Not loading the heroes on the OrcX1 Map of the Campaing Foundation of Durotar when transitioning from other Maps and stuck in a mini cutscene, where the entire overlay does not load, neither F10 nor ESC work and you can only ALT+F4 out of it.

Same problem here. Hope they’ll fix soon. You can only play it by installing the old standalone game out off Battle.net.

Same issue here after trying all of the above. Reforged has been the disappointment train that keeps on giving…

Two weeks without any acknowledgment despite the issue being incredibly easy to replicate in ~60 seconds.

Does anyone actually read these forums? Like, more than once a month? That’s not me being snarky; I’m genuinely curious if Activision-Blizzard actually pays a living human to routinely check here for bugs.

They know about the issue, but probably don’t care, like they didn’t care about the ladder for two years. Soon Overwatch 2 will be released, so all the work will go there. Lack of acknowledgement of the reported bugs probably means that they won’t be fixed. The campaigns and the World Editor are the only things that I care about in Warcraft 3 Reforged and they admirably destroyed it with 1.33 patch. Probably it’s time to go back to the original. The Reforged version should be withdrawn from sale given its current state.
