I. Installing Warcraft 3
1. Put your original W3 CD in
2. Install Warcraft 3 by following the installation instructions and using a legit key.
3. Download Patch 1.05 by connecting to Battle.net or download it directly (look at Downloads Section)
II. Installing The Frozen Throne
1. Download The Frozen Throne Installer using this key: AUNVOB-GIDX-XVKDMQ-4KSX-JL0YTT
If u get this error: Can't move License.txt , just ignore it. All important files have already been copied.
2. Download Patches 3.00 and 3.01, again by connecting to Battle.net or downloading directly.
III. Getting W3 to work with Warforge Servers:
1. Download the Loader and extract its contents to your WC3 directory.
Click yes to overwrite files (if an error shows up, make sure thate ure currently not running War3
2. Use war3gate.exe (now located in your WC3 dir) and add a server like its shown here:
3. Change your WC3x shortcut by adding "-wf" (without the quotes) after the Frozen Throne executable,
so that it looks like this:
4. Double click on the Shortcut, select Warforge as the gateway, enjoy!
[You may also add "-window" (without the quotes) to play in a window.]
IV. Server Status and other small things
If u can't connect to Server make sure:
- you chose Warforge as your Gateway
- you didn't mistype (warforge.kicksass.org or .net)
- u got version 3.01 (look it up at the lower right bottom of the W3 TFT main menu)
If it still doesn't work shut W3X , wait 5min and try connecting again to both servers. You may have to try connecting multiple times.

2. FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Question: I am a real beta tester and i suddenly can't connect to Battle.net anymore.
Answer: After adding "-wf" to the target of a shortcut, you won't be able to play on real Battle.net anymore by using the
edited shortcut. Delete "-wf" again or create a new shortcut.
Question: Do you have a KEY to install TFT?
Answer: Try that one, AUNVOB-GIDX-XVKDMQ-4KSX-JL0YTT
Question: i have v2 loader and win xp. it crushes. so... how can i get v1?
Answer: http://www.skilled.ch/users/emil/War3xLoader-301-v1.rar i think
Question: The .dll files where should i put them?
Answer: In your war3 directory.
Question: I know this is probably going to piss you off, but when is the server going to be released since there are still bugs?
Answer: When Stress test is over and bugs are fixed, NO ETA :)
Question: random 2v2s work sometimes, but oftentimes they halt at the loading screen then go straight to the endgame. any suggestions? just cross my fingers and pray?
Answer: Basically, yes
Question: i can connect to neither net nor org server and i followed every single instruciton
Answer: If you get the "Cannot connection" error, try waiting around 2-5 mins then try again

Answer: There are still many bugs on the server. Give it time.
Question: is it going to be ladder or replay for beta warforge??
Answer: There will NOT be replays unless Blizzard comes with another patch. Ladder is being worked on, I think
Question: Are u going to enable the Replay section?
Answer: Probably not. Replay section needs coding cause the WC3OM and WC3X has different stam-shells that takes time to encode.

warforge.kicks-ass.org MANY people on it try .org
warforge.kicks-ass.net

Answer: Scroll up to the Properities Screenshot and make sure u wrote "-wf" behind the " and put a space between it.
Question: Which game modes are currently working?
Answer: Play Game 1v1, 2v2. Custom Game also works, but it still might be a bit buggy.
Question: I got problems with updating TFT to 3.01
Answer: Fixing method:
Start / Run / Type Regedit / Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Goto Software / Goto Blizzard Entertainment / Goto Warcraft III /
Make sure That InstallPath, InstallPathX, Program, ProgramX all link to the Directorys ofthe Warcraft III XP dir, and NOT the Original War III.
Question: What do I have to do with those *.rar or *.zip files?
Answer: Get WinRAR there: http://www.rarsoft.com/

Question: What's the difference betweend the .org and the .net server?
Answer: They are two different servers. .NET is for testing and bugging, .org is for general gameplay.
Most players will want to play on .org
