《魔兽争霸III》视觉重制更新因破坏战役存档被回滚

When it comes to a game that has a lot of deep-seated memories, it’s generally bad form to muck around with some of its visual style too much. That was part of the issue players were having with WarCraft III: Reforged’s decision to have graphical updates that threw fans into a tizzy, as they complained about unit size, animations, and spell effects that impacted play.

That leads us into some recent PTR testing for patch 3.0.1, which has primarily sought to address those complaints by bringing the visuals more in line with their originals. As these tests go, feedback was monitored for several weeks, and then the update was released to the wider public. Unfortunately, that release has not gone to plan, as it has reportedly made existing campaign saves incompatible.

As you can imagine, this also made fans upset, but Blizzard had informed players that this would happen at the very top of the patch notes. Even so, the surprise from most of the players was apparently enough that the devs have rolled it back in order to gran players time to complete their acts before it goes live again. They also have placed the save compatibility warning on the Battle.net launcher, which ideally will make it harder to miss once 3.0.1 goes back online. Maybe.
