FAQ
1) Have all levels been remade? Yes, all levels have been edited and remade, some from the ground up for Warcraft III: Reforged. 2) What is the new Joe's Quest level about? The new level replaces the original interlude cutscene and will help flesh out Joe and his pals journey to find the elusive Silverspoon Seaport. 3) How much dialogue has been rewritten? I tried not to change as much of the original dialogue as possible. My overall goal is to keep the spirit of the original as much as possible! 4) Where is Joe's Quest 2? A sequel will be made based on the reception of these remakes. I hope people like it! 5) Why was there such a long delay for a sequel? I stopped working on the series after Joe's Quest 1.5 as I felt burnt out at the time and didn't really know where the story was going. That and my ambitions for the sequel outweighed my skillset and what assets were available at the time. Hopefully if and when I do start working on a sequel, it'll feel close in spirit to what I had originally intended all those years ago. 6) I hate how the 'Remake' versions looks and plays! Can I just play the original? Why of course! The download is at the bottom. Enjoy!

VGsatomi: Originally a Director's Choice awarded map on Wc3search. A campaign with humor and excellent gameplay. Made by one of the community's best mappers.
This happens on the very first map of the campaign. I do a Quick Save when Timmy goes to Agamemnon and we start fighting + 1-2 more Quick Saves until Timmy gets to Magra. No matter if I've saved 1-2 or 3 times if the game doesn't crash on the first reload (on saved file) it crashes on the second or third. My game cache is 1kb on 1.27b (it had gotten too big and I deleted it about a month ago).
EDIT: The same goes for Custom save game eg sv1-JoQuest. With a custom save game, however, you can reload the game 4-5 times until it crashes.
The second screenshot is kind of a trademark of your campaigns. It happens whenever I play your campaign and start exiting WcIII at various places following the steps: F10 - end game - quit mission - exit program (after quit or exit in most cases). Although not fatal now I'm just taking the moment to mention it. I will repeat - in all your campaigns. In this case, the absence of programs running in the background has no effect.
Look now what I have enclosed in red for you:
1. Timmy entered the citadel only by approaching it, i.e. he did not reach the circle at all.
2. Thanks to this most likely later when the other characters entered the other round (on the way out after killing everyone on the ship) they disappeared without a trace!
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do with the critical crashes to desktop after quitting the campaign. I couldn't pinpoint what could be causing it so I apologize.
I have addressed some minor gameplay issues. One is fixing a critical issue when Lil' Timmy approaches the Black Citadel in Booty Bay. I left a trigger on there that shouldn't have been enabled. I've also added two footman to help Joe when he seeks help from Mordork. This should help make the level a bit more manageable. Apologies for the issues.
This campaign is beautiful from start to finish, I love it graphically, it reminds me a lot of games like Diablo or Sacred at their best. The dialogues, the humor, the story... I loved it.
Love this campaign, specially origin and can't wait to play remake - but everytime I reach inn inn in chapter 1 game crashes :/ i have version 1.31 before w reforged

I checked the previous comments and someone had fixed it by playing the older versions of the game (for the non-Reforged one). Make sure you're not using 1.31, as this version is prone for game crashing and notable bugs in the custom campaigns. Get either 1.26 or 1.27b, but I highly suggest the latter.
