Earlier this week, Blizzard released a patch for Warcraft 3, known to some of you as "the game before World of Warcraft" and the rest as "the client for playing Defense of the Ancients."
Patch 1.22a provides balance changes for the units, fixes some
technical issues and includes four new maps. You can update the game by
either logging onto Battle.net or by downloading the patches manually
(available from BigDownload).

PC (1.22a requires patch 1.21b for installation)


Mac (1.21b not required)


Last month, Blizzard also patched Diablo 2. We've placed full patch notes after the break.

FEATURES


  • There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays are automatically saved to the "replay" folder.
  • The game is now automatically saved in the event of a potential disconnect. These saved games are placed in the "save" folder.
  • Player
    color selection can now be limited by the number of players in the game
    using an option in the "Advanced Options" screen during game creation.
  • Added an option to always show unit and building health bars.
  • You
    can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals from players
    and other observers using chat commands: /showminimapsignals and
    /hideminimapsignals.
  • Added a new in-game cheat "maxfps"
    to limit the maximum frame rate to the given number. Example: "maxfps
    30" will set the maximum frame rate to 30 FPS.
