Most likely the register key was removed, did you format windows or something? ^^, just reinstall wc3

Yes, this happens when you move your game to a different location (partition) like from C:\ to G:\ or something similar.

You'll easily fix this by just reinstalling.

If you can't do that for some reason(?) you need to edit the registry files yourself and set the right pathway.

Guide:
Start -> Run Type: regedit
My Computer -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Blizzard Entertainment -> Warcraft III

Warcraft III:
InstallPath = from C:\Program Files\Warcraft III in D:\Warcraft III for example.
Program = from C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe in D:\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe for example.
War3CD = E:\ no change needed.

Warcraft III -> DelOpt0(Savegames)
Path0 = C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\save
Path1 = C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\save
Path2 = C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\save
Warcraft III -> DelOpt1(Replays)
Path0 = ...
Warcraft III -> DelOpt2(Logs)
Path0 = ...
Path1 = ...
Path2 = ...
Path3 = ...
Warcraft III -> DelOpt3(Errors)
Path0 = ...

and so forth..

Hey thanks for the guide, I have the exact same problems, except I havn't done anything. I don't really understand it though. All of a sudden you start saying 'Wc3 install path = "blah blah" but I don't understand what you want me to do with that. Or how to do it. I may sound noobish but it seems like there's something missing.:banghead:

I lost my cdkey, so reinstalling won't work in my case.

Do what i do when i get games that have CD-keys, put them on floppy or flash drive or what ever in a .txt file. A different .txt file for every game. On the floppy/flash drive/directory.

    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.

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
