i downloaded some maps from this forum, downloaded the latest patch, and the maps does not open. What can be the problem ? latest patch appears at my game 1.26... and the maps that i downloaded are not that new, so why they dont work ?
i enter the game, not world editor, in frozen throne, latest patch added, anything ok, i go to Custom Game, and enter the map to play it, i see the preview icon, but the players and teams are not shown, anyway i select Start Game, that ... "things" goes up and then come back to the game-select screen with nothing happening
i hope you understand now
a map that i remeber not working is "capture the egg", "ultimate footman wars"
the answer is easy you should try maps in other patchs i mean the maps are for a special patchs some maps wont execute in 1.26 or older they are as i said for special patchs
for example i downloaded Capture the egg you can run the map in 1.23 version not in 1.26 or 1.25 or etc the map only run in 1.23
you should use blizzreseter or WWS (warcraft version switcher) to unpatch or change your WC patchs
Good luck and sry for my poor English

Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
