The Microsoft Software Catalog can be browsed here: Microsoft Update Catalog (unfortunately, this last cumulative update for IE does not enable built-in TLS 1.1/1.2 support for IE8 / Windows XP SP3 in the process). The hotfixes were not pushed via Windows Update, therefore one had to download then. Microsoft may also release hotfixes for XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 under exceptional circumstances. Such solution pleases everyone and improves the experience with custom games in general.Īuto-bot lobbies that host certein maps 24/7 have their place alongside human controlled 'on-demand' bots.simple filters could solve the problem being a win-win for everyone and it can be done with cooperation between classic gsmes team and ENT for example as i said above already.Ĭlick to expand.Microsoft supports Embedded versions of Windows XP until 2019, afaik. Hosting bots are much better than Sc2's arcade with benefits they give and control. Such more "official" recognition and cooperation could improve the game alot especially improving cross realm play, hosting itself by adding extra button sending people to ENT's site for example. It would be lovely to have better filters(currently old version of it we have is pretty much useless)And search option that narrows the found games according to written name alongside of just being used for direct joining. I use both ingame browser(because its not that hard you just ignore all bots with prefixes that are obviously 24/7 lobbies) and these website games lists. Most of people use games lists on ENT and MMH to find games hosted on demand by people themselves. You need to think about bigger picture not just your own mild annoyences caused by current state of things with autobots. And blizzard would link to ENT from ingame.like it links to ladder and profile websites. Or for Classic team to cooperate with ENT and Diplomunion to improve both and make standarised stuff and make some distinction hosting on demand and auto 24/7 hosts. All we need is filters that will get all games with lets say prefix gone to be considered auto. You're talking about something that will hurt these smaller often competitive custom games communities. I therefore very much hope that Blizzard will enforce its QA even more before officially dropping XP support, and also make it possible for their customers to enjoy this game on every OS to the fullest allowed, and any way their customers see fit.Ĭlick to expand.Or just make way to filter out autohosted games because some people play on those like Hero Push or Footies or others. Even worse, this version is known to have game breaking bugs which prevent the player from enjoying the entire Rexxar campaign. But now, if XP support has to be dropped, I fear it will not be possible for XP customers to update their game to v1.29.0 anymore, since it requires to be online on Blizzard's servers. There are official downloadable standalone installers to patch the game, even for (semi-decent) compatibility with W10. When Blizzard switched from VS 2005 to VS 2013, it is obvious that compatibility with W9x/ME was also dropped in the process.įortunately, Warcraft 3 does not require to be online to enjoy the game. Before Patch 1.27a, Warcraft 3 could run on any of these OSes. Click to expand.It is my way to point out that much OS compatibility and support has already been dropped.
