To indulge in MOBA games like Dota, Dday, or various custom maps in Warcraft 3 on a LAN network, version switching is essential. This guide will walk you through the process of version switching in Warcraft 3, matching the map requirements such as 1.23 and 1.24.
Upon the release of version 1.24, Garena encouraged the Warcraft 3 community using version 1.23 to upgrade. However, Ice Frog unexpectedly announced that Dota Allstar 6.62 would only run on version 1.24. Conversely, the version for DDay remained at 1.23. Consequently, some Warcraft 3 players had to adapt their versions to enjoy their preferred maps.
