game.dll error while attempting to play warcraft 3

hey guys,ive extracted the warcraft 1.28.5 version like recommended but when i try to open the game it gives error game.dll, help me out here ive been trying to fix it for days now.

Does it say that ijl15.dll is missing by a chance? If so its uploaded: [url]http://warden.eurobattle.net/downloads/file/48[/url]

Attachment 180482 this is what happens, then it showed a similar problem with game.dll again but on top said patch failed or something

[URL]https://prnt.sc/kcf34v[/URL] and this is the error from the eurobattle.net client

It should be as simple as:
1. Extract w3 1.28
2. Run installer
3. Launch w3 via our client

Please retry these steps ([url]http://wiki.eurobattle.net/index.php?title=Main_Page[/url]) if you can't get it to work contact me on discord I will help you personally.

ive tried those same steps for days now, the 1.29 works , i can open the game and play campaign and all but when i downgrade it to 1.28.5 this happens...always the same, i tried getting a game.dll off dll websites and after extraction i get a CD KEY not found problem

That can only mean that your copy of warcraft 3 is corrupted or that something is missing (then there should be more messages beside game.dll), at least i don't see what else it could be right now.

Are you sure you have this: [url]http://warden.eurobattle.net/downloads/file/35[/url]

And is it really this archive you unpacked it from? : [url]http://warden.eurobattle.net/downloads/file/49[/url]

ok kja12, thanks for your help, visual c++ was the issue. silly me had downloaded only that of 2015 and forgot about 2013, the game is up and running thank you for your help and time

bro theres another problem now, whenever i try to play in the BK games i get automatic kick after attempting to download the map, this only happens for BK games and other games i can join normally.

it could be that BK is hosted by some cross realm bot on official patch 1.29 (not compatible)

nothing you can do really

thanks for the explanation, you can close the thread now:)
