Looks like blizzard updated the game one more time (not sure if it's good or just the next useless patch).Anyone knows the changelog?

Changes: You cannot watch 1.23 replays anymore.

just saw it....cant find any changelogs, only wishes ....

BLIZZARd WHy U hate us so much?! Dear God make everyone die please (@blizzard office)

That Patch is biggest fail ever. None seriously expected any changes though but Why no replays anymore?? Fvcking shit need that fix we had for 1.21 and 1.20 from russia.

Like the patchlog is hard to find...

Don't worry, they just fixed some of the map engine basics. And ruined 1.23 replays. Typical Blizzard patch.

haha damn true . I was just about to watch remind vs dowaq games... damn it!

tell me how please :)

At least now we know for sure that there will never ever ever ever ever be any balance changes

Many custom maps got fucked, but unfortunately, not Dota...

I keep getting an error while wanting to update.. is there some site where u can download the patch manually?

If you want to keep watching 1.23, you just have to install war3 in another folder and patch this one.
I have 1.21, 1.22, 1.23 and now 1.24.

or simply use this here ;)

I use something called the war3patcher.Easy to use,very fast and gets the job done :)

But yeah,MLW's thingie seems good as well

Lol.. DotA is the most fucked up map..

Seriously, doesnt lizzard have ANY INSIGHT AT FUCKING ALL ? Dont they know about Waaghtv and all that shit, of which gets fucked up by now. And dont they hear our begging for a normal patch? All they do is to a release a completely USELESS patch which only fucks up custom maps and does it fucking annoying to watch 1.23 replays. I HATE BLIZZARD (And still I play their stupid game)

i can't connect to battle.net any more after the patch, and Garana is fucked up as well.

after the patch i connected with battle.net; everything looked OK; wanted to create a custom game, it gave me some kind of weird error while creating "game not found". I tried different maps, after that i get the message that my battle.net connection is lost.

now i can't connect any more, according to the FAQ i'm (hopefully) temp banned. WTF did i do wrong :S

and Garana, if you create a LAN game for the second time, it bugs and you cannot create a game any more.

I think you can't host the old custom maps anymore, you have to wait till the map creators recreate the specific map with the new map code which will then be compatible with Bnet. That's why Blizzard ran Westfall over the last weeks, so the map creators can test their "new" maps there.

its everything but not good :D

It's useless for standart us standart wc3 users, but the purpose of this patch is about dota, the (cheating with the map used there)

seriously? I always wondered if it was possible to spread a trojan that way. for how long has that been going on?

they could at least stop teasing us -_-

tbh this looks like the most epic failure ever!

The patch is in the first days good but in a few days the maphack and other thinks will work again.
So the Patch is useless, i think nobody could play on bnet like 2004 sry but its tru.
so hf gl gg =)

I'm truly wondering if anyone of this planet has been a victim of corrupted maps. Seriously I doubt.

Duden, I've almost been killed by a corrupted map.

Imagine a 13 year old kid, who has clue about what an antivirus/firewall is, trying to connect to any random cg on B.net...
