Well, thanks for the info, Bashiok, but what you said here is just sad for Mac users. I mean, if Macs are the only computer operating systems out there per se by imagination, this would literally state that "we Blizzard Entertainment will not care about Warcraft III anymore and just let it die down overtime because of the issue".

Surely, I don't think I should blame you guys for this on the major level, only a little bit for getting tired trying to work on Warcraft III and Starcraft I because of those Mac patches. I believe that it is just tiring to make new problems and I'm sure it could be a hassle for most people. But still... it could be done if trying hard enough.

But at this rate, Warcraft III will feel getting older and eventually will be left out, like Starcraft I... And I like to play Warcraft III.

Pleaseee work on this, I love wc3.

They've already made it quite clear they are not going to do anything for these games for the upcoming new Mac version, hence the sticky informing you about it.

The installers won't run, but I copied the folder "Warcraft III" from the applications folder on my older Macbook running OSX 10.6 to my new MBA running 10.7 - and to my big surprise it actually runs!

The UI is almost black, and is missing some graphics when you're not in-game, but playing seems to work fine so far.

Please Blizzard, can you work on a native installer for Mac OS X Lion? I've recently bought the game without knowing that it's no longer available on Mac OS X 10.7. It's just a matter of new installation method so it shouldn't take long for you to work on that. I would appreciate your effort!

NO! I HATE YOU!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?! ;_;

Hi, i am not new to Warcraft III, but i am new to it on mac. and when i bought this game again for my mac i looked on the back and it said it was mac compatible. However, when i go online my mac is not compatible with all of Warcraft III. So i was wondering if i spent money to have my computer crash when i click on something?

good to know

Oh No, I just got a new macbook pro, and i really would like to get on r.o.c.! I need my fix.

I like wineskin. allows me to keep my OS X mouse settings.

http:// wineskin . urgesoftware . com

vague instructions:
1) find and download "wineskin winery"
2) use it to install an engine ( 1.1.44 or newest )
3) create a blank wrapper ( it uses the engine you choose ). the wrapper itself can be the latest version. ( 2.5.8 atm. )
4) close wineskin winery
5) open the wrapper, install war3 in it etc.
6) enjoy

extra notes:
- to disable the intromovie, which crashes the game, if your system can't handle it, go regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Warcraft III/Misc & add a DWORD "seenintromovie" with the value 1. I believe some people rename their movies folder too
- sometimes there's a bug where clicking the minimap drags your mouse cursor to the corner of it, meaning you can't properly use the minimap. to get rid of this, I change resolution & back in the game options.
- if you start the game with fullscreen, you can put it in the background & back fullscreen with cmd+alt+a. this doesn't work if you didn't start with fullscreen.
- by default cinematics are 800x600 & don't stretch fullscreen. to fix this open regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Warcraft III/Video/ & modify cinematicheight & cinematicwidth to what you like and set "cinematicoverrides" from 0 to 1.
- in new engines cinematics crash my game. 1.1.44 works
- I used to have "the black areas problem" with new engines until 1.5 released. I only used 1.1.44
- 1.1.44 does not have AcceptEX, meaning it can't host ( invite AT either )
- you might not be able to watch the same cinematic twice in a row without booting the game
- I don't run the War3.app created by clicking itself. I run the Wineskin.app inside it, and I have it renamed & added to my dock. when I run it, I can choose whether I go fullscreen or windowed mode( Set screen options ), and I can choose the application I run in the advanced settings. there I got access to many other tools too. I just found it helpful to have easy access to these settings whenever I want through the dock. the only drawback to me seems to be that instead of starting the game by only clicking an icon, I run it by clicking the icon, choosing advanced & choosing test run.
- the site has a link to the "AppDB"(database). there you'll find instructions on how to install many windows apps, and you can ask questions from the community. make sure you read previous discussions first.


overall this system works fine, but it's kind of clumsy. would be better if we just had an installer for mac. as far as I understand, that is the only reason we can't play War3 on Lion. the game is universal, but the installer is PowerPC - outdated at the time of its release. I emailed about it to some employee & I was told a fix is planned, but they're using most of 2012 on the 3 new titles, so if this is ever fixed, it won't be this year.

Same thing happens to me, but when I go in-game, my map for DotA goes completely black

I have ROC and TFT installed on my mac os x lion but i have many black spots on it. Can someone tell me a ways to fix it? or it doesn't have a way to fix?

I just got Warcraft 3 up and running with wineskin, works great, thanks! Tho you will have to change resolution in wineskin to basic: 800x600 (I think), also, you may need to try diff versions of wineskin if you want it to work prop. 1.5 as mentioned works fine for me! Good luck and have fun! :) /R.L
