Issue using varlok after patch

Hey guys,

One of the things that Varlok looks for once u use it is the "War3.exe" file that u execute to join Bnet. That "War3.exe" is the original "warcraftIII.exe" file existing on ur programfiles>blizzard>warcraft3 folder (where the game is usually autoinstalled). Well, after the patch a new "warcraftIII.exe" file is added to that folder, so u just need to delete the old "war3.exe" file and rename the new "warcraftIII.exe" file into "war3.exe"

Hope it helps, anyway u can contact me and ill help u once im around.

Something to keep in mind is, Varlock (if you've downloaded from our wiki), will look for
• Warcraft III.exe
• War3.exe
• warcraft.exe
• Frozen Throne.exe (for backwards compatibility)

You shouldn't need to rename the default Warcraft III.exe in your installation folder.
This will help prevent the issue of a left over war3.exe

It didnt work for me until i renamed Warcraft III.exe into war3.exe

The varlok console kept looking for War3.exe file until i renamed it.

Might be only my own issue idk...
