Nothing particularly exciting except it moved all my custom maps/campaigns into the Documents folder.

Although fair warning: The patch puts a plain text file in your Warcraft III folder containing your CD keys for Roc and TFT. Make sure you register them on your Blizzard account because that's kind of a weird thing to do.

Well, that beats deleting everything like some of the SC2 patches

CD keys? uh oh... I already registered my war3 key to an account I abandoned, because I accidentally put my name on it before I knew that was a bad idea...

Seems this patch has caused some heartache for some, just be sure to back up your folders first.

It did delete Ricky's maps folder, as an example, with no transfer to Documents folder.

Ugh. Same old Blizzard. I moved my stuff before trying to install the patch, but it had an error and I had to reinstall the whole thing. Then it copied the default maps without deleting them

Weirdly, the game loads maps from BOTH locations. On the plus side, I don't have to change my monitor's resolution just to play it in 4:3 anymore.

Can someone make sure Mucky doesn't lose his stuff?

Sounds like they are using software cursor instead of hardware cursor now? If that's true I am gonna die laughing.

Yeah seems like I'm the only one who had absolutely no problems that I'm aware of. It hung for a LONG time because of moving my campaign files, but it moved them nonetheless (all except the Demo Campaign even when I moved IT into a few subtrees).

[Xenon]

It looks like the patch screwed up the ability order IDs and that's what broke Castle Fight. Supposedly that will be fixed.
