How to install a second instance of WC3 on different drive.

Post by Vegas »

I finally got my Warcraft running, also figured out how to get my WE to edit my map (everything needed to be installed on c:\). Now I would like to install the newest version, and possibly Reforged, but don't want to mess up this working copy. Plus my HDD doesn't have enough room for Reforged.

How can I install the newest and have both programs running in perfect harmony?

You just need to change the name of the folder from the one which you want to keep and you should be fine. For example: I want to keep my 1.31 version. What I do? Simple, do a copy (CTRL + C & CTRL + V), change its name and then update the other one... that was what I did.

How to install 1.31 now? Launcher gets stuck into infinite loading. I have 1.30.4.

I don't think that's possible unless you have some friend or someone that upload it to google drive. The latest version released by blizzard is the reforged one.
