As you have may noticed, after connecting to the original Blizzard servers. The eurobattle.net gateway will change to something called "Westfall (Beta)". And you will not be able to connect to our server. Similarly, if you applied that new installer and the Eurobattle.net Gateway didn't show up, read the following guide to solve the problem. Here is what you should see after connecting to the original servers:

4. Check http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp for the latest version of DirectX and update if necessary*.
*Note: Make sure you have drivers for your sound and video hardware that support the version of DirectX you are going to install. If you are not sure the drivers support the version of DirectX you are going to install consult with the company that built the sound and video hardware for more information. If the hardware came with a computer you bought then contact the computer manufacturer. Check Blizzard list of hardware manufactures for contact information http://blizzard.com/support/?id=mgi02054p

Here is one good and helpful guide about fixing fatal errors in Warcraft III which I found on some forum: This LONG guide of solutions should be able to fix your solutions. This will work with generally any 0x8E (Unhandled Exception) or 0xC4 error. How I know these will work? I have written this guide thru experience since my first computer suffered like this. I fixed it with a new PSU and DRAM Voltage, now it crashes from triggers . However, I have no assurance whatsoever that your problem will get worse, you decided to do this so do the advanced issues at your own risk . -Bad Drivers Update your video card when new drivers come out. Go to your manufacturer's website to download the latest. For ATI, its Catalyst. For nVidia it's Forceware. Just remember you need a 32 bit version of Windows XP or Vista or 2000 to operate these drivers properly. There are no real 64 Bit ones yet, and your drivers will fail to install on a 64 bit machine. -Insufficient or Ineffective RAM Get more RAM, make sure its of the right frequency so it doesnt lead to incompatibility. Eg. If you can support DDR 400, then get them both at DDR400 and have the same voltage. You will need to look at the sticker that comes on the RAM and break down the format to extract this information. If you think it's a certian stick of RAM and you have more than 1, take out one, and run Warcraft III. Then repeat for your other RAM. If one stick is causing the crash, then replace it with one that works. If it's 1, then you will need to replace it. The best way to detect this problem is checking your crash logs and looking for the memory address that crashed. You can also install and run MemTest86 to find out which addresses aren't complying and which ones are. -Motherboard Conflicts This is one nasty mother ****er. You would need to either update your current drivers. Or even go as far as Flashing a new BIOS (requires reinstall and hopes that it doesnt crash in reinstallation). Or even to disect your computer and install a new motherboard (4-5 hrs. you dont want to do). This is a rare occurance, I have never seen a Motherboard conflict, unless you did something stupid like drop a magnet on it or broke a piece of it.
This problem has many solutions according to the thing that causes it, here are different things you can try: '1) Reset Warcraft' This works 99% of the time, download, unzip and run the reg file: http://www.multiupload.nl/CU2II7RMD6 '2) Drivers' Updated your NvIDIA drivers/VGA drivers, and your Sound Card drivers, also installed the latest DirectX. '3) Damaged Game' Uninstall the game / reinstall it from a different copy (your first copy is damaged) '4) Hardware Configuration' Adjust the sound hardware acceleration: 1. Click Start 2. Click Run 3. Type dxdiag and press the enter key 4. Click on the Sound tab 5. Move the hardware sound acceleration level slider bar to the far right and then one notch to the left so it reads standard acceleration 6. Click exit and try the game again '5) Running warcraft using opengl mode' 1)right click on the shortcut you use to run warcraft 2)go to properties 3)change the target by adding -opengl to the end example: "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -opengl '6) Codec' Some codecs may cause this problem (Divx codecs, NIMO CODEC PACK..) Uninstall them '7) Moves Folder' Some people solved this problem by simply deleting the Movies folder (C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Movies) or renaming it to anything else, for example 'bla' '8) Compatibility Run' right-click on shortcut choose properties choose compatibility-fan click "run this program in compatibility mode for:" choose "windows 2000" in the field beneath (the roll-down menu) '9) Defective Memory' Download a memory test from http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp#top Your memory might be defective. After changing it the game runs without any problem. '10) RAM/BIOS Issues' 'Warning:' Be careful when doing these, you might mess up your whole PC. - Manually adjust the RAM speed from BIOS. If it was on automatic, manually changed it to 2.5 CAS Latency ('Advice:' Contact your technical supporter about this, each PC might need a different RAM Latency). - For those of you that have not been able to fix the error yet - you have to try changing your BIOS configuration to 100 or 110. - Your RAM might be causing the problem, changing it might solve the problem, contact your technical supporter and ask his advice. - Some people also solved this problem by adding more Virtual Memory.

| If you get the "Invalid Password" message and you are sure about your password, then perhaps your bot account needs to be activated: http://app.eurobattle.net/activate
If you still have problems with the password try to do the following: Unzip the ghost++__X.zip Find the file ghost.cfg Right click > Open With > Notepad/Wordpad Edit the values there correctly Remove the # near the pvpgn custom values. Save the file Run ghost.exe Note: You cannot use your account name as your password, otherwise it will not work. If you are facing this, change the password for your bot here: http://banlist.eurobattle.net/tools/chpass.php Or you may try this: Let's say your username is Bob and your password is Huge.

How to add a loopback.
For Windows Vista Users:
2) Click Next.
3) Choose Yes, I have already connected the hardware.
http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/5479/81690845oc7.jpg
7) Choose Microsoft from the list on the left. Then Choose Microsoft Loopback Adapter
http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4237/31367493ez2.jpg
8) Click Next. You Have successfully installed the Loopback adapter.
9) Find the appropriate IP Address you need.
''a)'' If you are trying to join a game created by your Ghost bot. Go to http://whatismyip.com , and note down the IP Address. ''b)'' If you are trying to join a game hosted by a PC on your LAN, find out the IP Address of the PC hosting the game
If you don't know where the Adapter is located then do this: Start > Control Panel > View network status and tasks or Network and Sharing Center > In the left hand pane click: ''Manage network connections''
http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/4391/48024046ag8.jpg
11) Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Click on Properties.
http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/1563/53002777ln2.jpg
12) Choose Use the following IP address , and fill the IP address you noted in step 9. Press TAB.
Note: If Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 didn't work, try using 255.255.255.0
http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7340/10hg7.jpg
13) Click Ok twice.
If you are trying to join a game hosted by a PC on your LAN:
Before trying the loopback make sure you opened a different port in your PC thats trying to join. For example, if the hosting PC is hosting under port 6112, the PC that's trying to join should work with port 6113 (and this port should be port forwarded and opened in firewalls). If another PC is trying to join, it should work with port 6114 .. etc - Configure the Game Port Warcraft III will use on each computer: - Start Warcraft III on each computer - Click Options - Click Gameplay - Approximately half way down the screen you will see Game Port, each of your computers will need to use a different port Example: Computer #1 can use port 6112, computer #2 can use port 6113, computer #3 can use port 6114, and so on. - Configure your Router to forward the incoming data for port x to the computer where you setup Warcraft III to use that port For more information on configuring your router, please contact your router manufacturer. - Try playing the game
Solving the joining LAN Games Problem below
Hi guys, after few weeks of trying to solve problem of joining your own game, or game created by other machine in Local Area Network (LAN), i finally managed to get it to work.
PLEASE NOTE: This solution maybe won`t work for you! This settings is usually for ADSL users!
If you have problem to join your own game, try http://dotabot.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial:Unable_to_join_LAN_game with loopback first (usually this will work). If you tried that, and you still cannot join game created in LAN, then probably you are behind a router or a gateway that doesn`t support NAT Loopback.
1.Turn your router/gateway in Pure Bridge mode 2. Enable PPPoE connection on all of your computers (You will need the username and password from your ISP) 3. Fix your http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=103947 (firewall rules) 4. Try to host public game, if everyone (from the internet) can join, then try to join your other machines on LAN

| when you can't join a LAN game |
|---|
| So your friend or brother is hosting a game and you can’t join; what to do now?
After your ghost can enter eurobattle.net and host games normally , we will make a simple modification to the configuration to allow Admin games (and thus people on same LAN to enter).
Edit the ghost.cfg] to include this:
############################ # ADMIN GAME CONFIGURATION # ############################ ### whether to create the admin game or not (see readme.txt for more information) admingame_create = 1 ### the port GHost++ will host the admin game on (this must be different from your bot_hostport) admingame_port = 6114 ### the admin game password admingame_password = xpam
Note: You need to set admingame_port in ghost.cfg to the port you want to host the admin game on. It *must* be different from your bnet_hostport *and* from your Warcraft 3 port.
bot_hostport = 6000 admingame_port = 6114
Enter Warcraft , Options > Game Play > Port should be different (default is 6112)
1.) Open Warcraft 3 and go to the LAN screen. After a few seconds you will see a game called "GHost++ Admin Game" appear. Join it.
a.) If you enter the wrong password you will be kicked from the game and temporarily banned for 5 seconds.
