WC3Connect is also a popular option (on entgaming). For those who don’t want to lug their PC’s everywhere to play, I will now discuss some options to play LAN over the internet.įor the non-technical users, you can try out some third party software like Hamachi or GameRanger. The Maps folder is located in the base directory. You can now play both single player and over LAN. I will update the pastebin to reflect this new information. I recommend 1.29 and above, as they fixed the widescreen issue in that patch. You cannot patch past 1.27b, however If you manage to find some of these builds you will be able to play at a higher patch. UPDATE: There are versions above 1.27b out there on the internet. Here’s a good website for downloading the patches. You are required to install each patch in order. If you try to patch past 1.27b, it will attempt to install the Reforged client on your PC. Unfortunately you cannot patch to anything above this, as I believe 1.28 was the patch Warcraft started using the newer launcher. Take note of this, because it’s important.ĭepending on which patch the initial install was, you will need to patch to 1.27b. You can also check out Internet Archive for a download as well.

Some voice lines have been taken out of the game.I believe you need to be “online” to play offline. ?No LAN functionality? Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no LAN menu in the Reforged Client.IP of your maps belong to Blizzard and there is now a report function, making me believe censorship will be rampant.
