The problem that my friend has been experienceing is that during the installation of wc3 reign of chaos an error message appears that says "data error (cyclic redunduncy check". The installer also declares that the wc3 cd is not in the cd-rom and the whole application shuts down. There isnt a problem with a cd since 3 different ones have been tried. The installation stops during the file "war3.mpq". Both cd roms have been tried anf both have failed. The computer is called "Sceptre" and is fully capable of running games that compae to warcraft or even exceed it. Dos anyone know how to fix this problem ?

ps: we attempted to install warcraft 7 times and the same results follow.

HELP HELP HELP!!!

"Setup cannot read a required data file.Your Warcraft 3 cd may not be in the CDROM drive. Please insure that the cd is in the CDROm drive and press retry. To cancel the operation press cancel.

D:/war3.mpq
Error 0x00000017: data error (cyclic redunduncy check).
(Fileutil.cpp:816)"




After you click "cancel" yet another error message appears that reads as follows:





" Setup was unable to copy the following file:
war3.mpq

don't install the direct X that it lets you try to install. Just follow the procedures. Store in Blizard folder in the start menu.

I had the same problem

When it reaches that point in the download process when it decides stop and whine that the disc is not in . . . instead of hitting retry right off the bat . . . remove the disc and then hit retry. It worked for me. Hope this helps ;).

This is for the dude that wanted it in German...

Also, wenn diese error kommt, du sollst nicht enfach wiederhollen clicken, sondern den cd raus holen und dann wiederhollen clicken. Es ist für ihn geklappt.

you're welcome!

War3.mpq

I had the same porblem and eror message when attempting to install war3.mpq. I tried everything, but nothing worked. The game worked on other computers that i own so I knew the CD was fine. Since I have an older computer (Dell optiplex GX240) I decided to reinstall the graphics drivers. After re-installing the drivers the game installed and works fine!
If you have an older computer i would suggest updating the drivers.

English-
Copy all the files from the CD onto your Hard Drive in a folder and try installing from there.

Yay for Online Translators!
Spanish-
Copie todos los archivos del CD en su Maneja Duramente en una carpeta y la prueba que instalan de allí.

Its probably your cd drive's fault. Does it read other cds right?
Also, if your going to reinstall, deleter the registry file for Wc3 (Start => run => regedit => HKey_Current_User => Software => Blizzard Entertainment => War3)

I have the answer

You are correct it is not an error with your CD or with the CD-Drive.

Goto C:\temp. There should be a file there called WA3CD, or something similiar. If u cant find it exactly just open it and read it, it should have some error messages very similiar to the one u are experiencing.
Delete it.
Goto Run-- type in "Reg". A black MS-DOS box should pop up very briefly. Goto Run-- type in "Regedit". Delete all registry files in the WAR3 and TFT folder.
Try the installation again immediately afterwards.

This worked for me at least. Good luck. Also try copying all game files directly from the CD and onto your hard drive if this doesnt work. You should be able to install from there.

I'm also having the installiation problems but instead of the war.mpq error im getting this

Setup was unable to read the following data file. Your Warcraft III CD may not have been in the CDROM drive.
D:\Movies\TutorialIn.mpq

Setup was unable to copy the following file:
Movies\TutorialIn.mpq
Error 0x00000015: The device is not ready.
(C:\temp\remaster\wc3-rel-1-0-lockit\Installer\Source\DiskUndo.cpp:240)

I've already tried copying to my hard drive and im gettin the error when i try copying it there.
any help would be great thanks.

What i've just done was copy all the games files to my hard drive again except the 2 files which were coming up with the error message, they were TutorialIn.mpq and also the UndeadEd.mpq movie files
thanks

[EDITED- We do no support the sending of files from the Warcraft III disk]

I'm sorry RaFT but we do not support that.
What you can do is try using the disk to install on another computer. If it doesn't work on that computer as well, then you know it's your disk that has the problem. Then, as long as you have your CD key, you can replace your disk for $5 through Blizzard.

I will leave this thread unlocked as it seems that a decent amount of people have the same problem.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
