I just bought a new laptop. Comes with windows 8. I tried launching warcraft. what happen is the normal launching picture appeared then it just goes black. Pls help me. i did google around. It seems none of them experienced the same problem. the only problem they had with running warcraft 3 in windows 8 is the no sound problem. Then i read some article say set compatibility to xp sp3 should be okay. i tried that too. didnt work. pls sifu. help me out rclxub.gif cry.gif

pirate or not is not the prob. how about if some1 use pirate to test that game on win8 then if its work they buy ori?

how if they buy ori then cant run?

stick to the TS question instead guessing whether it is ori or not

there are drivers already released for windows 8, plus if you read the thread again, TS already solved the problem by updating DirectX and use latest graphic driver.
