Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is Released! - DotA-Blog

Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is Released!

Warcraft Patch 1.24Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is now released and went on public realm. Previously, it's only available on Westfall (ClassicBeta). However, this patch it's not compatible with the Dota 6.61 b or the Dota 6.62 Beta. But you can still play the Dota 6.59d on Warcraft 1.24 Patch.

IceFrog is already aware and working hard to fix this problem, so be patient ;) And the good news is, the Patch 1.24 increased the map size limit from 4MB to 8MB. So IceFrog have more space to add new contents (yay, new hero is good!). Here is the complete changelogs:

  6. 1. u "maybe" can play but surely most abilities r broken

  7. I have 2 questions -
    1) Do we need Patch 1.24 for playing Dota 6.61b and Dota 6.61b AI Pre Alpha?

    2) After updating to Patch 1.24, can we play Dota previous versions without any problem?

  8. @Tanim :

    1) 6.61b and 6.61b ai pre alpha r for patches before 1.24 ... so.. playing it on 1.24 might cause fatal error n broken abilities n fuctions..

    2) 6.62 map that would be released r made for 1.24 patch.. all the codings and scripting r reworked by icefrog.. playing an older map before 6.62 would cause fatal error, broken abilites and etc.. it means.. its not playable..

    not sure for older replay tho.. maybe there would be a converter or sumthin.. we'll just have to wait

  9. thats is very good to hear!
    later if anyone want play dota,they must use 1.24 patch
    no more hack like previous version :D

    ReplyDelete
  10. 6.62 should make it force everyone to upgrade d patch to 1.24~!!
    i hate map hack~~~!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. i quite understand wut u mean by force upgrade but that "force" feature is not available i guess..

    but for sure.. i u wanna play newer dota maps starting from 6.62.. u must play it on patch 1.24(and higher i guess) ..

    garena (malaysia room especially)would take time to update.. but surely when newer maps after 6.62 .. they would definitely must force users to update..

    for now.. 6.62 contains the same features like 6.61b.. so the 1.24 patch surely is a must on garena after newer maps (after 6.62) is released

    ReplyDelete
  12. finally 1.24....

    but why 6.61b got prob wif 1.24?
    izzit the map scripts are exploiting the 1.23 or older bugs???

    but even all garena malaysia room update to 1.24 i will still stay at singapore room cause lower ping time :)
    streamyx sucks

    ReplyDelete
  13. 6.62 map r based on a new scripting.. it is designed to work on 1.24.. so many abilities will be broken if played on a lower patch as it is not quite compatible..

    update = good game

  14. dota 6.61c is out

    ReplyDelete
  15. what are the changes in 1.24? any changelog?

    ReplyDelete
  16. the 6.61c is out.. thank god that the new patch was used starting on 6.61c and not 6.62.. it would be a waste in release numbers if icefrog were to release 6.62 just for 1.24 patch.. implementing it starting from 6.61c is a wiser action :)

    found some changelogs on dotastrategy site.. credits to poster and to them

  17. Wrong 6.61c does not use the new 1.24 patch. All he did was change the version string so that the map would be seen by the new patch to be 6.59b. The new patch was set to allow 6.59b (and possibly other popular trusted maps) to run in a temp 1.23 compatability mode until 1.24 is more developed and stable. Once 1.24+ versions are fully developed and stable all new maps will have to use the new funtionality in 1.24+ or they will not work since most maps use the return expolit that Blizzard is fixing and the temp compatability mode will be removed.

    Old versions using the return bug will not work in 1.24+ patches and new versions using the new functionality will not work on older patches, as they do not have that functionality. So going forward if you wanna play new versions your gonna have to have whatever 1.24 patch it is that gets everything fixed and stable and working properly that maps will be based off of, and possibly any new patches that add more functions or fixes that DotA and other maps may use. Hes not gonna maintain 2 versions of the map for people using old patches on private servers.

  25. The new patch makes it so now I am unable to run neither the 6.59d AI or the 6.61 AI (alpha release) - Quite annoying as i practice a lot..

    '-.-

    ReplyDelete
  26. it is not the patch cannot run it..but the new system doesn't detect it..but you can name it shorter so it can be detected..for example 6.59d AI_revision 03 to 6.59 AI or 6.61b AI pre alpha 4 to 6.61AI when you go to the game it will get detected with the long name though..
