Warcraft III Bnet Loader Error

Posted in Computers & Technology by Elliott Back on February 15th, 2006.

If you’re using the Warcraft 3 – The Frozen Throne 1.18a PvPGN-Loader (W3L.EXE, W3LH.dll) with Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, DotA, a no-cd, and v1.20c Blizzard patch and want to play on both bNet and PvPGN servers and get the following error when you run the ACID loader:

Wrong Game.dll version (wants 118)

then you need to run system restore to an earlier point. Why? Well, I did three things before it broke:

  • Installed new video drivers for my Geforce 6400go
  • Installed and uninstalled (because it sucks) Windows One Care beta
  • Installed Windows Defender (Antispyware beta 2)

My guess is it was the video card drivers that did it, because on linux systems, you have to have the right version of openGL compiled with WINE to run the ACID loader. But, to fix this annoying error, don’t reinstall, just run system restore.

    Step 3: Temporary Restrictions:
    Please try to connect to all four Battle.net Realms (USEast, USWest, Europe, and Asia). If only one Battle.net Realm is inaccessible to you, then it may just be a temporary connection problem or a temporary restriction. Battle.net access may be temporarily restricted for one of the following reasons:
    - Spamming text in the chat channel (often associated with bots)
    - Rapidly connecting/disconnecting to Battle.net (often associated with bots)
    - Repeated attempts to use an invalid CD-Key
    - Repeated use of an incorrect password may lock an account login for your protection
    - Repeated use of third-party programs (hacks)
    - these include but are not limited to sending bad packets, flooding the server(s), and the use of hack programs

  17. ahhhg says:

    ok for ppl who need to know this seemed to fix it (I have legal copy so don’t know if this works with naughty copies):

    1. install patch
    2. configure your router to allow ports 6112 – 6119 UPD and TCP
    3. I disabled windows firewall – will check if it works with allowed program later
    4. Restart modem – despite what everyone said about not needing to it just didnt work until I did this.
    5. Restart your computer
    6. Pray to a god

    Good luck, hope this helps someone.

  18. ahhhg says:

    hmmm i just changed server (magnifying glass button next to battlenet in W3) and now I have gotten as far as downloading the update.

    Guess ASIA is better than US West :-P

    Man if its just this easy to fix then you’re all tossers for not posting a solution 20 posts ago :-P

    Now… DOTA… if i can get that far

  19. ahhhg says:

    Yeah Frank, these guys are a bit retarded… all posting the same error in a way that suggests that they don’t read any of the other posts.

    2CupOfRespect is wrong: I just bought the original battlechest game and I’m having the same error with unable to connect … modem… blah blah blah…

    did anyone solve this? or do we just all post and then figure it out and then dont post the f*&king solution!

    ahhg this is really annoying
