Well a few months ago I upgraded from Windows ME to Windows Vista Home Premium edition and While i had my ME version Warcraft III and TFT worked fine, but ever since i upgraded I'v been getting error reports when i try to install it

Well I attached a pic of the error report and a Diagnostic Test of my computer for all you smart people lol

It shouldn't be like that. I run the same OS as you and I have no problems whatsoever.

Hmmm, that's odd - does the user account that you are installing on have adminstrator privileges?

I never had problems installing/playing WC3 on Vista, but it could* be User Account Control (since I've had a few issues installing other things and UAC was the problem in some cases)

*When I say could be, I'm only throwing out ideas since I haven't much of a clue about UAC other than the fact that I don't like it and, occasionally, it doesn't like me :p

Try download WcIII Off blizzards Website,
Click to expand...

Thats what i figured but i wasn't sure because it read the disk and the main folders but that just showed up when i launched the install. Ill try Finding it from Blizzards Site.

Edit: Well i can download the playable demo but not the full game. If i have the demo of RoC can i still install and play TFT, because thats all im really interested in.

To get the full game you need to make an account at blizzard store and DL it.

No, go to your game list and then add your wc3's serial number. Then you'll be able to download the game. It's similar to Steam.

If it was on it before and you upgrade, it could have fucked it up, so you cant install it. or play it. Try getting rid of all traces of wc3 before installing.

    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
