Apparently, Blizzard puts a new team together to maintain older titles and keep them running on modern operating systems. During the second week of March of 2016, Blizzard launched a patch for Diablo 2 and now, it is releasing a patch for their Warcraft 3.
The famous game Warcraft 3 hasn’t had a patch since 2012, which is understandable, after all, it is an old aged game at this point. This new patch will do much of the same things Diablo 2’s 1.27a patch did, bringing the game more in-line with today’s technology.
The most notable changes for this patch applies to OS X/Mac users, as a new installer for the game brings support for OS X 10.10 and 10.11. There is also improved compatibility for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10 users.
However, there are still some known issues:
- Windows 8.1 and 10 saved games are still stored in a location that requires running as system admin.
- Some graphical issues with the cinematics are still occurring.
- Changes to gamma settings will not take effect in windowed mode.
- Cyrillic characters are still not displaying.
- Disabled ambient sound while a MIDI issue is being resolved.
- Mac 10.9 and earlier are not supported.
- Mac build does not support the editor.
There is still more to come as well as Blizzard intends to bolster its support for its older titles and the next expected patch on the list for Warcraft 3 is some balance changes and a new map.

Blizzard pls just remake it and use SCII’s game engine or batter
I would love them if they implement that.
Moving a lot of units in WC3 CAUSES LAG
that’s what forces you to play smart in WC3… I remember pooling undead frost wyrms in huge stacks and the game would lag so hard in my older Pentium III PC haha
Uhhh nostalgic lag when Hardcore PCs that time are very expensive, unlike today
Or we could have Warcraft IV done that way, instead. I prefer that option.

hindi pa uso steam sa intramuros. hahaha i dont know now. even sa mga provinces na computershops, wala pang steam. old skul tlaga.hehe
haha 3 na ata TNC sa intramuros ngayon par sa real st.
will there be an issue opening/signing in my account sa computer shop gamewise?
diskless naman sila so wiped ung OS data every session so kung conscious ka about security restart mo na lang ung PC before logging out
gamewise i mean, mga saved files, items, etc. baka kasi magkaissue kung merong ibang account din na same game ang nilalaro.
pwede kang gumawa ng save files sa mismong account mo.
everything you remember you are glad
Yes!
Everyone loves it when individuals get together and share views.
