Hello
We have enabled W3 1.27a on a test server. We want to test if everything works as expected before we switch our main server.
The testing will last for a week, if everything works ok we will switch the main server to 1.27a as soon as possible.
Installation instructions:
1. Patch your w3 to 1.27a either with:
-connect to official blizzard server
-manual patch http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3x/patches/pc/War3TFT_127a_English.exe
-Use version switcher http://www.dota-utilities.com/2016/03/warcraft3-tft-1.27a-patch-version-switcher.html
I recommend you make a copy of your W3 folder so you still have 1.26a installed at the same time.
2. Install Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 x86 http://warden.eurobattle.net/downloads/file/20
3. Install special beta installer (this one will only work for test server) http://files.eurobattle.net/installer/installer_v6_beta.zip
4. Join as usual via gproxy gateway (normal gateway probably won't work unless you change eurobattle.net gateway IP in regedit to xpam.pl)
5. Since beta server does not have a page to activate your account, use one of the already created accounts: test1-test19 with password 123456
Channel ro has a guard and hostbot for testing (!priv, !pub, !map+!gopub etc).
You can create your own account on bnet login screen but you will have to request activation by posting in this topic, I have to do it manually.
I suggest we meet on Saturday April 2nd after 23:00 CET (after EL classico) to try and play a test game together. I will be waiting in channel ro. 9 other people needed.
Suspected breakage in 1.27a so far:
-some reports show that gproxy reconnect time might be lowered (w3 discs much sooner), we must test whether this is true or not by discing for 2+ minutes and then reconnecting to see if it still works normally.
-check if bot saved replays are saved with correct version and try to open them in w3
