Playing on Bnet

Sorry but i'm a computer noob, so can anyone help me on what to do so i can start playing on Bnet? Configurations and such..

Well wat u mean ? there is no config needed .. just click bnet and dwnload latest patch

As long as u have a good internet connection u can probably play with anyone

Well i tried getting onto Bnet today. Some message about being unable to verify version and patch thing popped up. What do i do now?

well.. considering ICC has come to WC3 im not ENTIRELY sure they have a patch out but I believe they should... you can always go to their website www.iccup.com go to Files on the top and on the right hand side go down to WC3 area and check the downloads... if they have a Patch available try to download it into your Frozen Throne folder (guessing at that part, read the instructions that come with the patch if there is one) but in order to get to the Frozen Throne go My Computer > C Drive > Program Files > Warcraft 3 > (I'm not sure of this next part I mostly only do this with SC) its either Maps or Frozen Throne next... either way Frozen Throne is what you want ^^ but again this is only if wc3 even HAS a patch out for ICC players... I know it does for SC and it helps run ADV Loader and Chaos Launcher.. but yeah I hope this helps somehow.. its worth checking out anyway

Thats.. Confusing.. +shock

lol I tried to make it as simplistic as I could

Usually Wc3 auto-patches itself. If there is an error occuring you can either reinstall Wc3 or try to google for a down-grade patch.

WAR3 should update itself ... If you dont want make the auto update , just look at this this web page ..;

and if you are from Philippines your region is Asia (Kalimdor)

Does that mean i cant access other regions? btw my War3 version is 1.20... Outdated yes i know, but its the best you can get your hands on for free around this untechnologized place..

You can swap region whenever you want , but the lag may come also if you don't have a good connection.
If you are not playing on the Official Blizzard servers (Bnet) , i really don't know how work other systems.
At the moment 90% of the persons here are on Official Bnet servers.

Hey i still dont know how to switch servers tho and somehow i can go to West now but not Europe

In the main menu of wc3 there is a magnifying glass right next to the Battlenet button. Click it and you can select different gateways.

its beside Battle net box on right side.
