This is the most common method of playing AotR online as the mod was designed for this. Fortunately however, there are other alternatives for playing online games. I'll ask around in my server if anyone has more info about this and will keep you posted.Since the support for the Battle For Middle-earth games has stopped, the official servers have stopped as well. Even back when I first ran into this, it was quite rare, it wasn't happening all the time.ĭo you encounter this issue every single time you try to save/load Sunken City? In your case, having gone back to older patches and using LAN, does give access back to the default wc3 saving, however I am afraid that there is not much I can do here. I do remember that this was indeed somehow related to save files getting corrupted and I don't think Sunken City was the only affected map.Ĥ) My guesses would be either the LAN service provider (Game Ranger/Hamachi/etc) are somehow responsible or Warcraft 3 itself.ĥ) When it comes to save/loading, these are very unfortunate times as longer maps which were not designed to utilize Save/Load systems suffer greatly from the disabled default wc3 saving. This is, in my opinion, a warcraft 3 bug where files get corrupted.Ģ) It's been a long while since the last time me and players from my Discord server actually used the default save/load system, because it was disabled until further notice with Reforged.ģ) Because of 2), the few times I've encountered or heard about this are at least 2 years ago.

I also have tried playing this map before with one of these two and one other when 1.29 was new, again with hamachi, and the only problem which kept us from finishing it then was that the save files kept on getting corrupted.Īfter seeing the two videos linked in the thread you mentioned, Duty, I seem to get vague memories of encountering this.ġ) I have my doubts that this is a map specific issue. and i maybe should mention we're connected using hamachi. We also tried it on another map(Anime X Hero v3.8) same problem showed up This fellow seemed to have the same problem back then with less information on what's going on We tried 1.29.2.xxx public test and another 1.29.1.9xx if i remember correctly. yes he has filled in the first slot which is not even shown here and in game the options made for first player to choose from becomes available for him to select however with no effect on doing so

what happens then is the first slot gets filled and the third guy gets kicked out of lobby as he joins because his request to fill the first slot cannot be answered.ĭoesn't matter who hosts the game and which save file is being used, that is just the expected behavior.Įven when we begin with only two players (on slot 2 and 3) the lobby made from saved file shows only those two slots to get filled but the joining player joins the lobby with his arrival message being logged but his slot remains Open. but since we're three there are two joining players both who wants to fill in the first slot. It wouldn't be much of a problem if we were only two. the one in charge of choosing difficulty, lives and so on and that is regardless if this is actually his slot to take or he began the game filling another one. Host creates the game lobby from saved file and then anyone who joins wants to take the first player slot which in this case is the admin. It is me and two others trying to finish this map, Sunken City, and as we need to save it to continue playing it on another day we encounter this problem:
