Common Problems
- How do I install Warcraft III: Reforged
- I want to install Warcraft 3 with my old cd key!
- Can I play Reforged if I already own the classic Warcraft 3?
- I can't access Warcraft III Reforged graphics while I own the classic version
To install and play Warcraft III (Reforged or Original):
- Install the Battle.net App
- Click on Games at the top of the App
- Click All Games on the left and find Warcraft III: Reforged
If you own Warcraft III: Reforged, you will see the Install button on the bottom left. If you don't own Warcraft III: Reforged, you will be offered to purchase it, but this is optional.
I have the original CD-keys, I don't want to buy Warcraft III: Reforged
If you own the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne CD-keys and do not wish to buy Warcraft III: Reforged, you can still install and play the game through the Battle.net App.
Important: You must have redeemed the original CD-keys on your Battle.net account. Original CD-keys will no longer be redeemable after November 21, 2025.
- Log out from the Battle.net App
- In the Battle.net Login screen, click the cogwheel icon
- Click Continue Without Logging In
After you installed, you will be required to log in. Note that, because you do not own Warcraft III: Reforged, you will not have access to HD graphics.
I want to install outside of the Battle.net App
If you own the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne CD-keys and do not wish to use the Battle.net App, you can use the installers below.
