In a recently published letter to fans, the developers promised to address the issues of Warcraft III: Reforged. You can read the letter in full in Polish here. Yesterday the game received its first major update, weighing as much as 2 GB.
INFORMATION ABOUT WARCRAFT III 1.32.1 UPDATE
Changes and bug fixes:
CAMPAIGN
- Players should no longer see a "fail" screen after loading a mission.
- Adjusted audio levels in some dialogs.
- Improved animations, triggers, and frames in some cutscenes.
- Disconnecting or logging out will no longer change the save folder.
- Fixed several glitches that could prevent progress or cause completed missions to not be considered completed.
- Developer Comments: Updating the map for patches of this type will invalidate previous game saves. On a similar note, replays from earlier versions of the game client do not work in newer versions of the client. Campaign progress will not be lost.
ANY GAMES
- Multitab should no longer lead to arbitrary games being suspended.
- Adding the same map to the lounge will no longer create duplicates of that map.
