Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is Released!
Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is now released and went on public realm. Previously, it's only available on Westfall (ClassicBeta). However, this patch it's not compatible with the Dota 6.61 b or the Dota 6.62 Beta. But you can still play the Dota 6.59d on Warcraft 1.24 Patch.IceFrog is already aware and working hard to fix this problem, so be patient ;) And the good news is, the Patch 1.24 increased the map size limit from 4MB to 8MB. So IceFrog have more space to add new contents (yay, new hero is good!). Here is the complete changelogs:

ReplyDelete@ichi
you mean I can't play 6.62 (when it's released) without patch 1.24?
I mean fifth.
ReplyDelete@ichi
nice, you posted the download link
@Frank Perry:
ReplyDeleteyou can't play 6.61b below in 1.24 as far as i know.
1. u "maybe" can play but surely most abilities r broken
ReplyDelete2. if u "can" play it on patch below 1.24... u can only play with ppl on the same patch..
garena surely force update soon.. i loike :)
yehey! bye cheats!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 questions -
ReplyDelete1) Do we need Patch 1.24 for playing Dota 6.61b and Dota 6.61b AI Pre Alpha?
2) After updating to Patch 1.24, can we play Dota previous versions without any problem?
@Tanim :
ReplyDelete1) 6.61b and 6.61b ai pre alpha r for patches before 1.24 ... so.. playing it on 1.24 might cause fatal error n broken abilities n fuctions..
2) 6.62 map that would be released r made for 1.24 patch.. all the codings and scripting r reworked by icefrog.. playing an older map before 6.62 would cause fatal error, broken abilites and etc.. it means.. its not playable..
not sure for older replay tho.. maybe there would be a converter or sumthin.. we'll just have to wait
thats is very good to hear!
ReplyDeletelater if anyone want play dota,they must use 1.24 patch
no more hack like previous version :D
6.62 should make it force everyone to upgrade d patch to 1.24~!!
ReplyDeletei hate map hack~~~!!!
i quite understand wut u mean by force upgrade but that "force" feature is not available i guess..
ReplyDeletebut for sure.. i u wanna play newer dota maps starting from 6.62.. u must play it on patch 1.24(and higher i guess) ..
garena (malaysia room especially)would take time to update.. but surely when newer maps after 6.62 .. they would definitely must force users to update..
for now.. 6.62 contains the same features like 6.61b.. so the 1.24 patch surely is a must on garena after newer maps (after 6.62) is released
finally 1.24....
ReplyDeletebut why 6.61b got prob wif 1.24?
izzit the map scripts are exploiting the 1.23 or older bugs???
but even all garena malaysia room update to 1.24 i will still stay at singapore room cause lower ping time :)
streamyx sucks
6.62 map r based on a new scripting.. it is designed to work on 1.24.. so many abilities will be broken if played on a lower patch as it is not quite compatible..
ReplyDeleteupdate = good game
dota 6.61c is out
ReplyDeletewhat are the changes in 1.24? any changelog?
ReplyDelete@above - changelogs added ;)
ReplyDeletethe 6.61c is out.. thank god that the new patch was used starting on 6.61c and not 6.62.. it would be a waste in release numbers if icefrog were to release 6.62 just for 1.24 patch.. implementing it starting from 6.61c is a wiser action :)
ReplyDeletefound some changelogs on dotastrategy site.. credits to poster and to them

Wrong 6.61c does not use the new 1.24 patch. All he did was change the version string so that the map would be seen by the new patch to be 6.59b. The new patch was set to allow 6.59b (and possibly other popular trusted maps) to run in a temp 1.23 compatability mode until 1.24 is more developed and stable. Once 1.24+ versions are fully developed and stable all new maps will have to use the new funtionality in 1.24+ or they will not work since most maps use the return expolit that Blizzard is fixing and the temp compatability mode will be removed.
ReplyDeleteOld versions using the return bug will not work in 1.24+ patches and new versions using the new functionality will not work on older patches, as they do not have that functionality. So going forward if you wanna play new versions your gonna have to have whatever 1.24 patch it is that gets everything fixed and stable and working properly that maps will be based off of, and possibly any new patches that add more functions or fixes that DotA and other maps may use. Hes not gonna maintain 2 versions of the map for people using old patches on private servers.
thanks for the info.. i really thought that the changelog "1.24 related update" means its only playable on 1.24 patch only.. thanks for the correction.. my bad T_T
ReplyDeletei hav upgrade patch 1.24 but i can't see the table game

or whatever games that dont show player infomation when u select it in the single player menu
coders would find a way around maybe.. but surely it would take time :) .. peace for a while..
ReplyDeletemaphacks would be still around i guess..
Can I somehow reverse the patch ? I now have 1.24a, but the created games are created on 1.23a, and so I cannot see the list of games... Anyone help ???
ReplyDeletewhy don't use warcraft version switcher that recently posted in this blog..it contains 2 version of official blizzard patch..such as 1.23 and 1.24..just click em and you would go to that version..easy..
ReplyDeleteThe new patch makes it so now I am unable to run neither the 6.59d AI or the 6.61 AI (alpha release) - Quite annoying as i practice a lot..
ReplyDelete'-.-
it is not the patch cannot run it..but the new system doesn't detect it..but you can name it shorter so it can be detected..for example 6.59d AI_revision 03 to 6.59 AI or 6.61b AI pre alpha 4 to 6.61AI when you go to the game it will get detected with the long name though..
ReplyDeletewhen i try to update the patch.....i see this comment even though i follow the steps to change my regeditor keys ..
ReplyDeleteERROR: unable to create file 'C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\BNUpdate.exe'
Access is denied.
RESULT: Prepatch failed
