My warcraft 3 keeps experiencing problems on startup

Warcraft 3 (build 6300)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This application has encountered a critical error:

FATAL ERROR!

Program: c:\program files\warcraft iii\war3.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F0CDB75

The instruction at '0x6F0CDB75' referenced memory at '0x00000000'.
The memory could not be 'read'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running 32 bit vista on my laptop
directx 10
GeForce 8800M GTS

I've tried installing and reinstalling a billion times and nothing!
I've also tried manually installing the patches for the game and also nothing...

Also, when i startup warcraft 3 my screen turns black and makes an error sound and goes back to my desktop. The desktop light contrast goes all whack and the only way to fix it is to restart my comp.

I've been trying to resolve this problem for a while
and your help would be much appreciated:)

How much RAM do you have?

It's not just RAM, i've seen a few cases of viruses/malware/spyware/adware cause this.


Dude, get Spybot S&D and do a scan. Get Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and do a scan.
And then, once you're done, go clean up some crap on your computer by using the Disk Cleanup.

I think it may have something to do with Vista.

Did wc3 ever work?

~ Disable Aero before playing any 3D games

~ Go into the properties for the .exe file for the game -> Compatibility tab -> run the game in XP compatibility mode

Do you *actually* have 3gb ram or do you have 4gb and its only detecting 3gb ?

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
