[Mac] WC3Connect hosting issue

Postby vincent123 » Fri May 10, 2019 7:51 am

Hi,

I am playing on Mac (MacBook Pro) and I have not played WC3 for quite some time; I decided to hop back in and play but I don't know why I get the error message (see SS1) now.

Now I have checked multiple times with different topics and I seem to be using the right version (see SS2) I can join games and download from them just fine (see SS3 and SS4).

Now I have no problem being able to join and play others game but I don't seem to be able to host because on WC3Connect when it tells me to "Select a game below. Then, go to Local Area Network in Warcraft III and join it!" what I have below is completely blank even though I have custom maps downloaded. (See SS1 again)

I remembered this wasn't an issue back when WC3 Connect first came out and I started using it, I don't know why this error happened after I have not played in a while, anybody has suggestion on how to fix this ?

Hi @vincent123

Two things,
  1. Would you be willing to upload an uncompressed copy of your Mac WC3 installation to my google drive?
    - I have been trying to get the Mac version to work, but it seems when I compressed and uploaded my copy it caused some issues that cannot be remedied easily. I have also already reformatted the computer this was on, while failing to make a backup of the original uncompressed files.
    - TL;dr I learned the hard way that Macs are much more difficult with sharing apps, and current upload is broken.
    - If you're willing to upload a copy, I'll PM you a link to a folder that you can upload to.
    Already found a working copy
  2. What map(s) are you attempting to play?
    - If you're being kicked after the map download, that could indicate a map config error or a patch compatibility issue.
    - If you are being kicked from our auto hosted games, then that could be potentially another issue altogether.

*EDIT*
Will process topic in 2 weeks time if no response.
