#Stonehearth multiplayer rejoin for free#

Warcraft III is one of my all time favourite games, so I dug out my old Warcraft III discs and installed them to check it out because I heard you can upgrade to the new client for free minus the new graphics if you already own the original.

Turns out I had to download some other Warcraft III client from Blizzard. The new client does not uninstall my installs from the disc, so I can still play the campaign or over lan through the original game client if I like. I had install a 30 gig update upon downloading the new client. I couldn't play regular random games, but I could join custom games. When I tried to make a custom game, it didn't work and only one slot was open, and I'd get this map not found error. That new menu/multiplayer interface somehow less intuitive than the original and I don't know where anything is and it doesn't work half the time. When you leave or join a custom game, the text saying you left or joined or were booted overlaps with other UI elements and text in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. In the game itself whenever someone left is would say ' User has left the game' followed by 'Blizzard has left the game'.

I restarted my computer and then I could do random games. Once you get in a game it's pretty well the same as it always was. At the end of the day if you have the original game, they've moved you to a multiplayer client that doesn't work as well and are charging $30 for new models/textures. I don't think Blizzard is obligated to still provide servers for a 18 year old game in perpetuity, so it's kind of cool that I'm even still able to play multiplayer with a couple of discs I bought so long ago that they'd be finished high school by now. Plus, if you don't already have Warcraft III, I think it is worth $30 if the bugs all get fixed. Honest to god, how do you fuck up the interface this badly? However, the new menus and stuff are a bug riddled shitshow. Stonehearth multiplayer hamachi install#.Stonehearth multiplayer hamachi for free#.
