Unable to Find CD

[PureOwnage]

Every time I try to start up War3, it says:

Maybe the game hates me.
I have Jass NewGen in that folder, the latest patch from Blizzard and a Warcraft Editor 1.21b file to use my NewGen.

I have same problem, I switched 1.21 'worldedit.exe' file with latest 1.22 to restore patch settings in Warcraft, but now for no reason TFT refuses to start.

Bad thing is that because of Blizzard NO-CD patch even other errors will show 'no cd in drive' error. It may be caused by something else, but 'no cd in drive' error is displayed which is miss-leading.

Thanks for replying. Is there any fix?

Go to http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3x/patches/pc/, scroll to bottom of the page
and download Warcraft TFT 1.22a standalone patch (Pick one which suits your game language settings).
http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3/patches/pc/ if you are using Warcraft RoC.

1. Click here to download standalone TFT English 1.22a patch directly.
1.1 Warcraft 3 RoC users click here to download RoC English 1.22a patch directly.

2. Download original Warcraft 3 game files which are needed to patch newer versions.
Nice filepack is available from www.strategyinformer.com
Backup these files:

frozen throne.exe
game.dll
storm.dll
war.exe
warcraft III.exe
world editor.exe
worldEdit.exe

3. Extract original game files to Warcraft 3 folder

4. Run standalone patch 1.22a and update game to latest version.

5. Run Warcraft TFT and access Battle.net and make sure firewall programs will not block updated Warcraft 3.

I got my Warcraft III 1.22a TFT working again like this, I'm not going to create maps (read: use JNGP*) until issues with new patch and JNGP* are resolved.

Then we got Mac users, I don't have Mac, good that I remembered to give links for Warcraft RoC users.

* JASS New Generation Pack

Alternative:

1. Go to https://www.blizzard.com/account*, create account. Navigate to 'add games' menu, insert your owned legal games CD-keys and you will be able to download them.

2. Install newly downloaded games and patch to latest version.

3. Run game.

* I hope link is valid because it gave some weird 'Apache Tomcat' requested resource error.
