Warcraft III
 

Hi,

anyone else getting this error message in warIII.exe when trying to start the game? It says something about "memory could not be read" or something like that......

How can I solve that prob?

Buy more RAM!

more RAM? :-)

I already have 512 MB DDR, that should be enough

i am having same problem. This problem has yet to be resolved.

This is the exact error message:

This application has encountered a critical error:

Has anyone a solution?

Mike

@Ballin:

does it work for you now? If "yes" then please tell me what you did :-)

Mike

well it's related, because I have the problem with the backup of the game :-)

Mike

perfect backups dont have this problem. would you like to discuss how to get one? also, i dont have the file warIII.exe ;)

the same problem is posted in big forums and has yet to be resolved, this problem has been going on since the release of the razor version, for some it works without errors, for others this same exact error appears. As soon as i found a result to the problem i will post here immediatly. As of now i am trying to update it with v1.01 with the no cd crack for 1.01.

<edit by VLuka - buy the game>

The solution to this problem is that you need to update your graphics cards to the newest version. I haven't had this problem with WarCraft 3, but have had it with other games such a RTCW. I hope this helps all those who need help. Peace!

Ballin did you get that "fatal error" problem to work? when you do let me know ? thanx
