This is a workaround for the: “There was an error in handling the request.”

1. Go to your Warcraft III folder.
2. Make a shortcut of the Warcraft III.exe file
3. Edit the Properties of the Shortcut and look for the line that contains the following:
   (Or something similar)
   “C:\Games\Warcraft III_retail_\x86_64\Warcraft III.exe”
4. Change the line to:
   “C:\Games\Warcraft III_retail_\x86_64\Warcraft III.exe” -launch
   (Must include the quotes, -launch should be outside of the quotes.
5. Click on Advanced, and select “Run as Administrator”

Drag this shortcut to your desktop, and click on it - every time you do so you avoid the Battlenet app and you have have to manually log in. You can play the campaign even though it gives you an error. You can not play online. Not sure if you can play local network games or single player games.

Blizzard this is not a fix but since you are slow at providing one for us this will help people who use the game to relieve stress like myself.
