Warcraft 3 problems
« on: August 07, 2002, 01:16:33 AM »
Well, I don\'t need to really post this. but if anyone else is getting problems this may solve them. During gameplay u can get Fatal Errors. Even when u try to start up the game u can get fatal errors.  If this is happening it may be from these reasons.
Firsty, Make sure you have DirectX fully updated to 8.1. Make sure your Graphics card is also updated. UNINSTALL ANY DIVX CODECS This was a problem i had. I couldn\'t figure out why my comp wouldn\'t run the game.. I uninstalled the divx codecs and i haven\'t had any problems.
There\'s also a Registry patch you can get if your using a AMD CPU and WIN2000/XP
Have your Motherboard drivers fully updated.. I\'ve heard SIS and VIA mb can have problems with this game..

This game has a lot of problems. I was really pissed off when i found out it wouldn\'t run on my machine for something so simple.

I\'m on a VIA KT333 mb, AMD cpu and win XP.. 3 outta 3 problems to have.. :/

Anyway, This game seems pretty kewl, from as much that i\'ve played of it.. :)

Hmmmm.  I have divx codecs on my computer and haven\'t had a single problem with the game.  Not during instal nor game play.  

You gotta love windows...  Every computer is different.

It\'s mainly a amd issue. There\'s heaps of reports of AMD computers having strange problems with WC3, either it\'s a simple registry patch, removing codecs, Install Mb drivers, Install Directx8.1 etc.  Mine was just the DIVX problem. I have all the divx codecs installed.. 3.11 4, 5.02 etc. :)

I was going to mention that I have intel.  

So do you suck at WC3?

The only problem I have is an occasional lockup.  But it\'s a hard lockup.  I\'ve got an AMD  + Win2k so there\'s probably some reason right there.

I occasionally have  a fatal error during the middle of a game, not often.

Other than that, Blizzard needs a way to improve servers and send maps to people.

Argh, I can\'t even log into battle.net.  It says I\'m not connected to the internet.

Damn Blizzard, I have a cable modem.  How am I not connected to the internet.

I have Win2k, those DIVX things, a VIA motherboard, and an AMD processor, heh.  Everything is updated tho....
