Odd Dilemma

Post by Pigger » Wed Feb 06, 2008 8:05 pm

Well...through odd happenings my computer completely shut down, stuff happened, I tried to log back onto WC3 aaaaannnddd, it says I need the newest patch (Which I highly doubt Blizz put one out in the seconds that I disappeared!). So I go to download it or whatever, and I get an error message saying:
Blizzard BNUpdate v2.129 compiled on Nov 2 2006
Log created at 6:03 pm on 02/06/2008

This patch upgrades Warcraft III The Frozen Throne from the previous version.

Registry error loading key 'Warcraft III\InstallPath'
The system cannot find the file specified.


RESULT: Patch failed
So...it wants me to reinstall the game and whatnot. Unfortunately for me, I don't own a RoC CD anymore, I don't own my TFT CD case anymore, I don't have my CD keys anymore, infact, all I own is the TFT CD used to boot up War3...

Anyone got any ideas before I have to run out and spend $50 for the battle chest a second time?

EDIT: A big middle finger to Blizzard...
Yea..just saw, there IS A NEW PATCH...twink you Blizzard.

Wtf, what happened to your CD-Keys -_-;
I really can't help you at all unless you have your CD-keys.
For the CDs, all I can say is get an ISO and use Daemon Tools.

What a terrible situation. lol
Go and try to find them. Kick your brother out of his room and check if he apparently stole them for some reason that only God knows. If someone stole em, well, tough luck really. I suggest you go buy the battlechest OR find a working, unbanned CD-Key that no one knows about.

Oddly enough, the new patch does not require WC3 to have a CD to play anymore. ._.

Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around, see the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the raven's cry

I don't have the site (or program) handy, but I seem to recall seeing (somewhere) a program that shows you your current CD key(s).

Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been for Diablo.... But there should still be one out there for WC, I would assume.

It worked? If so, well then. Time for you to find a RoC iso. Have you ever used torrents?

Nope :O
I'm waiting for a friend to get back from class to see if he has a RoC CD. If not I guess maybe I'll have to torrent?

It didn't work? Wtf went wrong, it worked for me. -_-
EDIT: Ok, I fail. I might have misread your question. Well, if you fail to get a RoC disk. Then :x I'll help you get a RoC iso.

No CD required you say?! I can finally take out my TFT CD out from the CD-drive now! It's been what.. 4 months since it last seen the light of day and damn it's HOT.
