Hello
Please read these instructions carefully.
The following steps will get you to W3 1.28.2+eurobattle+ability to connect to a BETA PvPGN server (beta server is completely empty, is missing user accounts and is seperate from main server). Create a server account on battle.net login screen. You will then be asked to activate your account. Post your account in this thread and we will activate it manually. After activation you will also receive access to a bot that resides on bots channel and has all the needed maps to test.
There are also some pre-made accounts already on server which you can use: bot1, bot2, bot3, bot4 (pass: 123456)
1. Backup your current Warcraft 3 folder. Copy it somewhere safe.
2.0 If you have official W3 copy, update to 1.28.2 by joining battle.net
2.1 If you do not have an official W3, get WVS from the torrent attached to this post. Version switching takes around 20seconds on an SSD, make sure the progress bar finishes after double click. WVS is huge because 1.28.2 replaced whole game archives for unknown reason.
3.0 Run installer v8: [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0glACajmi8tT1pOdjYyNEx3NGc[/url]
There are 2 different scenarios we need to test so if you do one or some of these combinations, please let us known in the post below:
Patched via official Patched via WVS Used installer Worked/Didn't work Worked/Didn't work
Post results in the table shown above.
One extra info on 1.28.2: now your Maps, Replays and other writable content are placed in your Documents/Warcraft III folder. Our client will automatically ask you if you want to move your folders from W3 folder to Documents/Warcraft III folder if you patched using WVS. To easily switch between 1.27 and 1.28 you can copy all maps back to W3 and have them in both places.
Also, please seed the WVS torrent for some time so other testers can download faster.
The more testers the sooner the better.. so we can update main server as soon as possible.
