Warcraft 3 No CD Hack

// September 5th, 2006 // Fun Whatnot, My Stuff

If you are anything like me, you bought Warcraft 3 many years ago and are completely fed up with having to have the CDs with you when you want to play, where you want to play. A group of friends and I play DotA every Thursday night, each of us has purchased at least one copy of the game, but we are lucky if more than one person remembers to bring their CDs. We then spend a great deal of time passing around a CD to (re)spawn games. I will suffer with this no more!

ElliotBack.com provides instructions and the hack download on his site. It appears he has been keeping up with patch versions, currently we are at 1.20e. This is an easy install and a must do for anyone playing Warcraft regularly. It works perfectly with both the original game and The Frozen Throne. There are no known problems running this on Battle.Net.

Update: On the 13th Blizzard fixed some things on BNet to prevent some some crappy script hacks. As a (intentional?) side effect the no cd crack was busted. However the brilliant Vadoff came up with a new solution. The hack is a bit more complicated and the site that hosts the download is crappy. Anyway, here’s the new one. Be sure to read the readme file.

    Juan, you probably downloaded the wrong file. The one I’m using has no trojan, and I checked it many times over, before and after unrar-ing it. I’ve been using it ever since and my WC3 still works fine, no problems, my CD-Key is fine, works on BNet, and I have no Trojans/Virus’ on my computer.

    hey i’m kinda new to DoTA…

    my problem is when i patched up my warcraft 3 FT to version 1.21, i can’t play and it required the cd…

    so i downloaded a no cd patch and i got through…i was ecstatic as everthing works fine BUT…

    when i clicked on LAN…it says could not connect to network!!!…so much of getting things rite!!!…

    WC3 version 1.21 English. No CD CRack. Everything work except Battle.net.

    It said,”unable to validate game version.”

    What up with that?

    Juan, the link you posted leads nowhere for me. I really need the cd crack too, because like Daniel, my cd was destroyed. I played FT so much, a crack developed in the center of the CD, eventually leading to it exploding inside my computer and ruining my disk drive. I’m on my second legitimate copy of FT, so I need a way to copy it or get no-CD hack so it won’t happen again.

    click on the battle net and let it download the update

    and off u go n play~~~~~~~

    This is the working no-cd crack. Please read the instructions carefully.
    You need winrar to extract the files.

    1. Copy all files into “C:\Program Files\Warcraft III”.
    2. Rename your “Frozen Throne.exe” to “Frozen.exe”.
    3. Launch PIGON_LOADER.exe and enjoy!

    All right i’ve found a solution for version 1.21a…download http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl.php?file=Warcraft3ReignOfChaosv1.21ANDWarcraft3TheFrozenThrone1.21BNetLoaderNoCDLoaderAll.zip

    NOTE: you do not NEED to use this specific no-cd crack, i just included a link for those of you that do not have one, as long as you have the original war3.exe file you can substitute that in for the war3.exe i use in this tutorial, and the same thing goes for the no-cd version of war3.exe.

    but thats not the end of it if you want to play on b.net or on a LAN (not sure about LAN but i figure it cant hurt you)

    ignore the install program that comes with this
    go to the folder after you have extracted it and go into the “original files” folder.

    Next rename the war3.exe to war3_org.exe and copy it to the main WC3 folder.

    now go to the “Files” folder and copy war3.exe to your main WC3 folder and allow it to overwrite the file.

    now you start up WC3 with the war3.exe you just placed in the main folder.

    next alt+tab out and go back to the folder, rename war3.exe to war3_h.exe.

    Now then rename war3_org.exe to war3.exe (sometimes you may have to leave out the “.exe” for it to work correctly).

    now go back into Warcraft III and connect to b.net, if done correctly it will work.

    NOTE: this works for all install types, including those who copy+paste the files to install it to a computer when you cannot install normally (people like me ^^).

    Happy Gaming!

    Same File

    (not sure if this works so i figured i’d at least try it…the html linking that is)

  35. Himeki says:
    February 6, 2008 at 7:59 am

    and one last note…reverse the steps to reset it for the next startup, once you have COMPLETELY exited the game. then follow the steps again. you must do these steps EACH TIME you start the game.

    There was a question posted earlier that got ignored.
    PLEASE link the no-CD crack for the latest MAC RoC and FT versions.

    I’m sick of swapping out CD’s all the time. I just want to play games on my laptop wherever I am without having to carry around a pile of games. I own the CD, I hate anti-pirate BS. Just let us play the game we own.
