what going wrong when i try to open a map on WC3 and when the map window is pulled away by the chains, it lags like .5 of a second and comes back down, without starting the map.
Some maps are incompatible with newer versions of Warcraft 3. If you have 1.24's then your map may only be able to run on 1.23 or earlier. If it is really important than you might want to have 2 installs of Warcraft, one patched up and one not patched.
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.
