Problem with Expansion Set

[Olaffio]

Hi to all!
I'm an italian player and today I bought the Frozen Throne expansion set and decided to install it. I was right in the middle of the undead campaign and after the installation a strange thing occurred: if I reload a saved game all my units in the game couldn't use their special powers or spells.

So I decided to restart the current mission and all returned normal, except one thing: Arthas (Death Knight 5° level with approximately 990 hp and 500 mana) became a hero with 1950 hp and 1000 mana.

Is that normal or this is a problem belonging to the installation of the expansion set?
What is the correct way to install expansions or patches in Warcraft 3?

Thanx

Sounds strange, what mission is it you were on when this happened?

correct way to install - put the CD in and follow the instructions.

Try reinstallnig it, its a weird bug :/

I think the fifth mission. The one after you've destroyed the second portal to Quel'Thalas

I guess I would have to suggest uninstalling/reinstalling both RoC and FT, I had a similar problem where I was playing RoC and FT came out that day..I went to the store and bought FT and came back home I still had RoC running so I exited it and tried to install FT when it was finished unit data was WAY, WAY screwed up. I have a replay of it but its outdated. I should have taken Screenshots.

I reinstalled the game , the expansion and also the patch 1.17.
I removed all my save game files keeping only campaigns.w3p and campaigns.w3v but nothing changed.

When I restart a mission my hero got the hp and mana doubled.

I tried also to play a random mission of the human campaign and also in this case the problem occurred.

I played the first mission of the human campaign and then reached the second mission. Doing this the hero stat became correct, but only for that mission. If I try to play the third mission the problem re-appears.

I guess I have to restart form the beginning all the game but sincerely I don't want to do this. Any idea?

Hmmmmm..... Is the campaign that important? Do you have a friend where you can play the campaign at his house, while you play skirmishes/online at yours? I don't know... could be useful with crazy heroes on B-Net.

have you got the latest patch? if not then get that, if you do then check out the blizard site (I think it should have made a link in your start menuto their support site which is pretty good)

Hi Olaffio! Its the first time I see another italian warcraft player!

Di dove sei? Io di napoli!

[Olaffio]

Yes, I installed the latest patch (1.17)
I have sent an e-mail to the technical support...let's see what happens next...

[Olaffio]

Oh well, I think I'll continue the campaign with the "upgraded" hero. I can't do anything so i'll keep him :P

ROFL! :lol:

Bologna is a town! You were referring to "Bolognese"

[BraveLiver]

Over here there is a type of meat, formed by recycled meat(I think) called balogna. It is very popular in children's sandwiches, and has an expression along with it: "Balogna!" meaning "Nonsense!"

Anywho, sorry for the mix-up. I learned something today! :y-idea:
