Warcraft 1.20e Patch Problems?

Posted in Computers & Technology, Video Game, Games, Blizzard, Warcraft, Warcraft III, W3C, Cracking by Elliott Back on June 30th, 2006.

Blizzard just released the Warcraft III 1.20e patch for Battle.net, which means that everyone playing using no-cd versions of 1.20d has been scrambling to find the latest patch, crack, or nocd. Fortunately for you, I’m going to mirror it here, along with instructions on how to upgrade to the latest version:

  1. Find your Warcraft III directory, usually C:\Program Files\Warcraft III
  2. Rename the 1.20d cracked exe war3.exe to war3-d-old.exe
  3. Rename the old 1.20d non-cracked exe war3.120d to war3.exe
  4. Download the Blizzard 1.20e patch and install it
  5. Download the 1.20e nocd and install it

war3 2006-04-16 01-11-09-16.jpg

At this point, you should now be able to play Warcraft III on the Battle.net servers without using a cd. You’ll still need a valid serial number, though, which means you’ve already bought the game. This is just a convenience for us lazy gamers who want to dota without sticking in the Frozen Throne cd every time.

    Where is this mirror file (the no cd crack), and will it be able to run the dotA 6.34 on blizzard? Do I need to change the registry files as suggested in the SA war3 forum?

    This did not work for me. The NFO file does not describe how to fix this. There were 2 errors that appeared in this order. The top is title and bottom is text. The line separates the two different messages.

    War3.exe – Ordinal Not Found

    The ordinal 570 could not be located in the dynamic link library storm.dll.

    Guys I found a no cd crack at www.hanshyong.com/blog/2006/04/14/warcraft-120d-no-cd-crack-and-patch/. I haven’t tried it out yet, but it sounds like it will work on b-net, or alternatively go to www.gameburnworld.com and get the no-cd-crack there, but I dont think it will work on b-net though.

  7. Peter_Pan said:

    on July 3rd, 2006 at 9:28 pm

    I stand correct, the b-net website has been changed to www.hanshyong.com/blog/2006/06/24/warcraft-3-frozen-throne-120e-no-cd-crack/#comments

    Thank you SO much, it works perfectly as long as you can follow simple directions, which apparently seems to be a problem here… you’re a lifesaver mate

    I agree with my amigo Amigo. It works provided you have the original files, which you should ofcourse have because you backed them up. I am however still looking for a world editor crack, as this only cracks the game. If anyone knows were, please send an email to jiub_@hotmail.com or just post a reply here. Cheers.

    Hmm I used daemon tools to install WCIII ROC and TFT. I then updated with the full 1.20e patch. When I go in game it displays that I am running v1.20e. When I click on Bnet it says unable to validate game version, please update manually. Is this a problem with the No-CD Crack or the Iso’s that I got?

    ok heres what u have to do bill just folllow this guide

    have wc3 roc(reign of chaos)and ft(frozen throne) now all u need if u have both of those installed on ur comp is th ft cd now after that upgrade ur wc3 bnet to the newest patch currently 1.20e after that make sure that u can connect to bnet this way u know there is no other upgrades. then dl the no cd crack files here and paste them in to ur wc3 folder usualy in program files now before you do that make a copy of all the files in ur wc3 folder u dont need the folders ur maps are in and paste those into another folder that can be any were on ur hd,i usualy paste them into a folder i created called (wc3 backup) in my program files folder. before u pasted the crack files in th wc3 folder this way when the new blizzard patch comes out u can replace the cracked files with the origonal files now that u have done all these things then u should beable to play on bnet.

    hope i got every thing in there……im in a rush have things to do today….

    if u have the origonal files and u have the newest patch installed currently 1.20e the u can dl this no cd crack here and paste the files into ur wc3 folder if u want to play on bnet that is if u dont have any the the things i said done then find a crack that is simular to the patch version u have then u can play with out the cd but u wont be able to play on bnet.
    _______________________________________________________________

    KAIRONOR:

    ok so u have no problems but ur asking what to do? go to www.getdota.com and dl the map into ur maps folder in ur wc3 folder and update the bnet patch to the newest 1 currently 1.20e and then play dota allstars 6.35b to newer on bnet.
    ________________________________________________________________

    Armora:

    well there is no rip of the cd but if u can find some 1 who has the cd then u can update ur wc3 and dl this no cd crack and play with out the cd or if u know how to make a image of a cd then u can make a iso image of the cd then ur comp will always think the cd is there when its not then u can update to the newset bnet patch currrently 1.20e and then dl the newest dota map at getdota.com and then play dota on bent.
    _______________________________________________________________

    joker:

    well if i have the time ill send the 1.20e files with crack to u other wize find some 1 u know and borrow there cd and then update bnet to the newest patch currently 1.20e and then dl this no cd crack at site and then u can play on bnet.
    _______________________________________________________________

    stephen:

    ok if u have the cd wc3 ft(frozen throne) then update wc3 bent to the newest patch currently 1.20e and then if u dont want u have to use the cd then also dl the no cd crack patch here and then paste that in to ur wc3 folder then u should beable to go on bent and play without the cd.

    Hi, I’ve applied the patch and it succesfully brought the game up without the CD in the drive, but when I click Battle.net, it says unable to validate game version.

    I am using it with an already working 1.20e version of the game, please help resolve.

    on August 22nd, 2006 at 6:25 pm

    step by step guid to making wc3 work without the cd

    by dbx_5

    1.install wc3 roc(Reign of Chaos) and ft(frozen throne)

    2. update wc3 to he newest patch (currently 1.20e) using the bnet button with in wc3(it is slower but it does it in order in less u want to do it in manualy wich can take a while it took me 1:20….)

    3. go to this website and dl the no cd crack

    4. find ur were ur wc3 folder is usualy in program files in less u saved it in another hd, so affter u find it select it dont open it just select it and then press (ctrl-bottem left of ur keyboard) and (C) at the same time or right click it and chose copy.

    5. now open the no cd crack zip file dled from here and exract it or paste it in to ur wc3 folder

    6.find another place on ur comp that u would like to paste it at(what i did was paste it in C: then renamed it to wc3 back up then placed it back in program files

    7.now u can play wc3 roc and ft with out the cd so go to (www.getdota.com) and dl dota and paste it in to (my computer>C:>program files> warcraft III>maps>download

    8. now when the new blizzard patch comes out all u have to do is rename the folder wc3 back up (if u did what i did) to warcraft III this will replace all the files in ur wc3 folder and then the no cd crack will be gone u will update wc3 roc or ft then dl the new no cd patch here for (1.20f or 1.21a) what ever they call it.

    now u should just read this and know what to do

    if u dont understand some thing here then tlk to me here or email me at dbx_5@Yahoo.com

  133. shawn said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 5:20 pm

    yup. ive done everything possible, and with the 1.20e crack, bnet does not allow you to go on and says the unable to validate thing that everyone is getting :(

    open war3, change the war3 file from the crack to the original and try to play

  135. MrMeToo said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 6:01 pm

    How the **** **** does that work??

    what you’re saying is change the crack war3 file back to the original name?

  136. p said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 6:05 pm

    no rename the crack to something else and put the original back to war3

    WHAT SHAWN SAID IS CORRECT

    NOTHING WORKS. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED / ATTEMPTED. BLIZZ FIXED THE CD CRACK THIS MORNING

    we have to wait for the new one to come out

    tell me how to donate money to hellkiller! l0l

    on September 13th, 2006 at 6:07 pm

    ya my ive been playing peacefully for a long time, today i come to find that blizzard cracked down on the crackers. we will just have to wait a few days for our good friends at gameburnworld or gamecopyworld or somwhere else, untill they can figure this out.

  139. p said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 6:56 pm

    uihhh im playing with the nocd crack….
    if you still have the original war3 file, open war3 with the crack, then replace the crack file with the original

  140. Josh said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 7:28 pm

    I just figured out how to make it work.

    Download the crack from here:

    www.users.on.net/~sykon/file/War3TFT_120e_NO_CD_Release.zip

    Mirror:

    www.filegone.com/elfk

    Run the war3.exe file,

    minimize your screen,

    go back to Warcraft 3 folder,

    rename the war3.exe file to war3.org,

    rename the war3.org file war3.exe,

    maximize the game,

    connect to bnet,

    gg.

  141. p said:

  142. rtx said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 7:54 pm

    Works!
    I can expalin it better, I think (this is kinda confusing):

    Download this: www.users.on.net/~sykon/file/War3TFT_120e_NO_CD_Release.zip

    Unpack to War3 folder in a subfolder.

    Run the ~\Warcraft III\war3.exe (the one which you cracked for 1.20e)
    Minimize
    Rename the same file to war3.org~
    Copy-paste the ~\Warcraft III\War3TFT_120e_NO_CD_Release\War3.org
    to ~\Warcraft III\
    Rename it to war3.exe
    Rename war3.org~ to war3.org
    Maximize Warcraft and connect to Battle.net

    Thanks Josh!

    on September 13th, 2006 at 9:00 pm

    here ill help because i was able to figure it out…

    open the war3.exe in your folder
    minimize
    rename it to war3.org..

    now unzipp the file he linked and take the war3.org file and rename it to war3.exe and place it in the warcraft3 folder.. maximize and you are good to go..

  153. phrakture said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 9:21 pm

    This still does not work with Linux. The ****** thing about this is that those of us who use linux MUST use no-cd cracks, as Wine does not support validation with a CDROM.

    *sigh*

    You will have to do this every time you want to log in, but you might as well make a batch file script to do it for you and susbstitute that for the shortcut you’d normally click.

  159. Antiga said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 10:58 pm

    And what if you simply cannot rename the freaking files. When I try renaming war3.exe I just get a war3.org.exe file which is still an executable, same when renamign the war3.org, I get war3.exe.org. I cannot change the original status of the file. Once an .exe, forever an .exe, how do I fix this?

  161. rty said:

    how do you make/get a file script to automatically change it?

  162. Cyke said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 11:36 pm

    You can write a batch file to do it for you, to switch two files around.

    1) First put the war3.org from that download into your warcraft iii folder.

    2) Open notepad, put this in text:

    ren war3.exe war3.bak
    ren war3.org war3.exe
    ren war3.bak war3.org

    3) Save the text in notepad as “switch.bat” in your warcraft iii folder. There’ll be a new switch.bat file there, of course.

    4) After you run your warcraft 3 and minimize it, just doubleclick switch.bat to swap the files for you.

    Remember to switch them around again after you’re done playing, so the next time you want to play it’ll be back to the original positions.

  163. Cyke said:

    on September 13th, 2006 at 11:41 pm

    Eh, actually I’m not sure if you have to switch them back. I’ll go check. In the meantime, just ignore that stuff after step 4)

  164. elo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 1:57 am

    What cyke said works and you have to switch back after using closing the game or before using the game after closing it.

    I now have another puzzler. I am running on a dual core rig and WC3 doesnt run well using dual core cpu’s. So i am using affinity masks to be able to make the prorgam use only 1 cpu when running. The problem is renaming the files makes the mask useless therefore the game is not working properly.

    Any thoughts? ty!

  165. ezn said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 2:05 am

    Cyke, can you tell us how to make a batch file that switches it back after you close wc 3… that way there’s 2.. so everything is easier.. thanks

  166. MrFrodo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 2:15 am

    k well this is alot easier, all you need is your warcraft install files, which u can download online and ur cd-keys. if u have those or can get them u can avoid all the switch.bat stuff

    just goto this link:
    forums.boredaussie.com/viewtopic.php?t=25

    basicly you uninstall ur war, reinstall again, and just follow those easy steps and its all done.

    luckily i had my iso’s and my cd-key, if u dont have ur cd-keys just downlaod a cd-key grabber. and if u dont have iso’s just download them with bitorrent.

    if theres anything u dont understand i can try to re-explain it in super simple terms.

    this took me like 5 mins total and now i just click on my icon on desktop to play :)

  168. MrFrodo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 2:47 am

    well judging by the way you guys have reacted to previous explonations, im just gona write a tutorial on getting a bitorrent client and downloading the iso’s which u should get over night incase u dont have them.

    1.) goto azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php and downlaod Azureus. (if u dont use windows u can just go to the homepage and find downloads for other OS)

    2.) anyways after u download that goto www.isohunt.com and type in the search “warcraft 3″ then when the search results come look for the one that is sixth from the top (as of now) it should be called “Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne” and for some reason it will be under the category “Anime” but ignore that. anywas click on that and then u will see a button taht says download. naturally click on the downlaod button and you will download a REALLY small file.

    3.) double click on this file and open it up with azureus. and it will ask u to save it somwhere, doesnt matter where u save it, just make sure u have the 1.13gb of space to put it somewhere.

    4.) ok now the download is starting, leave the computer on overnight, come back and tadah u got the iso files to reinstall warcraft 3.

    5.) to open the iso’s just use daemon tools or other mounting software, and then if it doesnt auto start up, just double click on my computer and right click on the virutal drive that has the cd and click explore, and u will find a install.exe

    before u reinstall it tho you should get a war-cdkey grabber, which im sure u can find via google. if u have trouble just google this “W3XCDKeyGrabber11800″ and you should find it.

    get ur cd-keys and write em down somewhere. and follow them steps and i dono its pretty simple.

    again if u guys somehow dont understand somthing just specify whats going wrong for you and ill do my best, or someone else might help if im not around.

    im going to sleep, cya :)

    ezn: “Cyke, can you tell us how to make a batch file that switches it back after you close wc 3… that way there’s 2.. so everything is easier.. thanks ”

    The swap.bat file i wrote there will reverse the positions of the two files. So, all you have to do is doubleclick swap.bat again after you finish playing Warcraft, and that will switch them back. Easy as that :D

  170. elo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 3:57 am

    it says in bored aussie that u need the other 2 files highlighted green. the link to those files are unfortunately dead. would you mind hosting it somewhere?

    or would daemon 4.0 work just fine without the said files?

  173. KHABIBULIN said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:02 am

    HOW TO USE CURE ROM!

    well this is how i did it.remove all ur cracks and **** and put the real files in ur warcraft map, war3.exe and all that.. install cure rom. START CURE ROM! press next and at APPLICATION SETTINGS you pick frozen throne.exe and NEXT and use “I DO NOT BLABLA USE VIRTAL” and NEXT! and.. NEXT! it will turn green (OK) if its allright.. now i found it it could be some bugging sometimes so i did the same thign with war3.exe so if frozen throne.exe doesnt work just use war3.exe ! piece of cake.. no need to rename files and crack that, replace that and blblabla!

  174. KHABIBULIN said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:09 am

    sry for my bad english.. Note that you HAVE to click on “make short cut to desktop” cuz u cant press the normal .exe files! im no computer h4×0r genius but it took me 10 sec to fix this **** so if you cant do this then there is some serious problem with ur computer or yer brain..

    so if u get problems dont go and search problem here just press all the **** that is pressable and it will go fine.. **** cracks!

  175. ser said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:10 am

    and just make sure your not doing anything else to your warcraft 3, by loading the mds file on daemon, your just gona be playing as if you really have a cd. dont apply any cracks or anything otherwize it wont work.

  178. Rami said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:18 am

    tryed everything in the CURE ROM and it doesn’t work,
    the trick with the war3.exe is working, but after few mins on battle net the games crashes, is there some thing else ? :-/

  179. KHABIBULIN said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:32 am

    MrFrodo yeah i tryed MDS / MDF files like 2 weeks ago in demon.. nothing happens when i mount it, it just loads for like 3 sec and bom nothign happens.. now i cannot unmount it from daemon cuz it says: (Unable to unmount image. Unit is locked) got any idea how to fix it? i dont really need to fix it, i can play with curerom but i know that MDS files are exactly like a cd so i would rather have that instead of cure.. And to RAMI i dont know why ur keep crashing, my dont :/

  180. KHABIBULIN said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 8:39 am

    hahaha **** just as i read ur post MrFrodo i was like ‘wtf if he can do it, i can!’ so i checked everything and just happend to press all options ON in the emulation filter and it works!! fking awesome.. ok so for everyone, do what MrFrodo said and make sure u press all options ON in emulation! works for me :D maybe you forgot to mention it frodo?

    on September 14th, 2006 at 1:20 pm

    u ungrateful idiots… just swap the files and do wat eva u hab to do everytime u want to play… why taking the risk of puting sum files that u idiots dont even comprehend… which might lead to corrupting ur wc3 again… open and minizing and rename takes only abot 20 second… should be gratefull that there are so many intelligent people out there that are helpin us out… dont push it too hard…. 20 second aint gona take ur life away!!

  186. KHABIBULIN said:

    ET mount mds file and put all options ON in daemon tools/emulation and start —> war3.exe

  187. MrFrodo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 5:07 pm

    well i would like to thank khabibulin for the all options on thing, ive never noticed that so it was never a problem for me so thx khabi. and well if daemon tools isnt working for you i would say try alchohol 120% or 90% or whatever.

    and make sure you have reinstalled, it wont work if u just download the mds files and hope it will work, it has to start fresh.

    and if anyone cant dl the mds files post here and ill try to find a hosting site and host it temporarily for you guys.

    if you have any other problems just let me kno and either i can help you or khabibulin or someone else.

  193. Rajio said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 6:33 pm

    blizzard.net has changed things so you cant log on with this no-cd patch now. … so new patch needed. without a new one it will just say ‘unable to verify version’ or something to that effect and they want you to run off cd with a fresh install.

  194. jorge said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 6:35 pm

    ok cool… so what do i do wait for new patch or what. thats exactly what is happening to me so anybody has a way to make it work… especially one withoud the mirror cd my anitivius says it has spyware so it wont let me install

  195. jorge said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 6:39 pm

    on September 14th, 2006 at 7:59 pm

    Thank You , after reading all the replies, he was the only one that showed teh correct way. Simply Opening the game and minimizing it, change war3.exe to war3.org and vice versa, it works. THank you so much man

  197. MrFrodo said:

    on September 14th, 2006 at 9:19 pm

    look jorge just scroll up a bit and follow the instructions i laid out. (which i dont take credit for, except the 2 hours of searching)

    basicly what it does is makes it as if you DO have a valid cd, u just reinstall and act as if u did have the cd, update normally and log in b.net normally. i have yet to have a problem.
