Fix the map yourself by editing the J FILE (you must have average knowledge on the programming language called "JASS"). Or, update your Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne to a earlier version like 1.20a/e.

How can you update the patch back to 1.22 or 1.20?
It says your game has already the latest patch

You can download warcraft version switcher and a 1.22 or 1.20 package to play maps that no longer work.
If you have any questions drop in by chat sometime, chances are there'll be someone who can help you that's afking there, so the next best thing is to click the link on UndeadxAssassin's Sig and ask your question there.

most maps just have the return bug... the way to fix it (IIRC) is the following:

Code: Select all

function returnBug takes unit u returns unit
return u
return null
endfunction

This is an example for a return bug. It has 2 returns, 1 after the other.

Code: Select all

function fix1 takes unit u returns unit
return u
endfunction
function returnBug takes unit u returns unit
call fix1(u)
return u
endfunction

Now those are 2 functions, each returning 1 value.

IIRC that is the method suggested by FatherSpace. Though I can't understand how it works, though it keeps the maps working..
