BNETDocs Redux

BNETDocs Phoenix is now live!

With all of the updates that have been happening to BNETDocs Phoenix lately, I felt it was ready to be promoted to the main site! Don't worry, Redux is still accessible.

Feel free to look around and get familiar with the new UI/UX. There are still places that are work in progress, such as the commenting system. There's also tons of data that needs to be converted to using Markdown instead of legacy HTML/BBCode. As updates continue, this main site will change, so please be aware.

Please also let me know if there's anything broken or something that could be enhanced over on GitHub.

Now that Phoenix is live, I will be archiving Redux and not even syncing data between Phoenix and Redux anymore. It will become stagnant. This should also encourage updates to Phoenix exclusively.

Enjoy!

Warcraft III 1.27a MSVCR120.dll Error

When Blizzard released Warcraft III patch 1.27a earlier this month, it turns out that they had forgotten to include the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package when patching from earlier versions. This is the cause of why some may be receiving the error about `MSVCR120.dll` when launching the game.

Fortunately, Blizzard posted to their forums detailing how to fix the issue.

If you get this error after patching to 1.27a then you have a few options:

1. Reinstall using the new installer
2. Install Visual C++ Redist Package
   • Go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
   • Choose your language
   • Choose vcredist_x86.exe
   • Click next
   • Run vcredist_x86.exe
3. Wait for the 1.27b patch. We do not have a definitive date to share at the moment.

U.S. West down for maintenance

[Update 03/15/2016] U.S. West is back online and their forum post has been deleted.

Howdy All,

US West is down for maintenance as we finish work on the War III deploy. We'll post when it's back up.

Thanks,
Classic
