DOWNLOAD THE ASSET INSTALLER
Download W3RRInstaller.exe from this page and run it in your Windows O.S by double clicking on it or by using the context menu.
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Follow the on-screen installation instruction presented in the installer. When asked, grant admininstration rights. As target folder, select your Warcraft 3 Reforged game folder (where Warcraft III Launcher.exe is located). You can install only the files needed by the campaigns you plan to play. By default, all of them are selected for installation.
REBOOT YOUR PC
In order to load files from your retail folder, where the installer will place them, the registry of your Windows O.S. will be edited. This edit is safe and performed by the installer. To make it effective, though, you need to reboot your PC.
DOWNLOAD THE CAMPAIGNS
To play, you need to download the campaigns from the apposite pages here on HiveWorkshop:
Once a campaign is downloaded, place the related .w3n file inside the Campaigns folder in your Warcraft 3 documents folder. If this folder doesn't exist, create it.
PLAY
Run Warcraft 3 Reforged, select Single Player, then Custom Campaigns. Here, select the campaign you want to play. The appropriate locale, when available, is automatically selected by the game if you run the game in that language.
LOCATE AND RUN THE UNINSTALLER
You can find the uninstaller executable W3RRUninstaller.exe in the Warcraft 3 Reforged game folder (where Warcraft III Launcher.exe is located). Run it and uninstall all the content. Any other content not related to the project will be left untouched.
DELETE THE CAMPAIGNS
You can find the campaigns in your Campaigns folder. Delete them to finish the uninstallation procedure.
DOWNLOAD THE ASSETS FROM THE MIRROR
Memorize the folder structure, for you need to copy it as in in the retail folder in your Warcraft 3 Reforged installation directory. Technically, you could just use the Archive Utility to decompress the downloaded files, so long you download the mirror folder on its entirety from Google Drive.
ENABLE LOCAL FILES[/URL]
To enable local files on Mac O.S. you need to enable local files by typing in your terminal: defaults write "com.blizzard.Warcraft III" "Allow Local Files" -int 1
REBOOT YOUR APPLE COMPUTER
To make the line above effective, you need to reboot your machine.
DOWNLOAD THE CAMPAIGNS
To play, you need to download the campaigns from the apposite pages here on HiveWorkshop:
Once a campaign is downloaded, place the related .w3n file inside the Campaigns folder in your Warcraft 3 documents folder. If this folder doesn't exist, create it.

My name is Luca Pasqualini and I'm an italian software engineer and teacher. I was a researcher with a PhD in AI. I love developing games in my spare time.
I have partecipated to the Rock The Cabinet 2017: Co-op edition contest for Starcraft 2 and my map, Mercenary Business made it to the top 10.
I was hyped beyond any imagination for Warcraft 3: Reforged, and while the disappointment was there, I saw great potential in the art assets and in the few but key changes Blizzard made to the engine. Mostly for fun, I tried re-reforging the first map of the prologue with better cinematics and now... well, now here we are. I guess it's already been a long journey, and I am really excited of what's still ahead!

CHANGELOG
01/13/2025
Released 1.0: compatible with Exodus of the Horde, Scourge of Lordaeron, Path of the Damned (Act I)
I received a notification that I had recently downloaded the installer, and I should leave a review. So: the installer is just fire! It’s much more convenient and comfortable with him, and I’m generally silent about the author’s company, there are no words!
So after installing it and playing the campain(Flawless btw, great campain)
My melee maps lack the tree textures
I tried Scanning and Repairing the game but so far no luck.
I'm thinking If I can find the folder with these trees textures I can perhaps delete it and try the Scan & Repair again.
Any ideas?
Edit: This screenshot is with all classic textures.
If I put classic HD I get tree backs but with a warped texture, see "
If I put full reforged graphics it looks like reforged would normally.
Seems when re-reforged is installed the classic textures would be just incompatible , great campain but I also like classic graphics when playing on ladder.
Lighting issues. When I enter any map of the Re-Reforged campaign, everything is dark, but as soon as I enter the menu, the light returns (while I am in the menu, there is light). In regular maps and the regular campaign from Blizzard, everything works stably. Can you help?
I am having the same issue as zryb. I reinstalled the game and the downloader twice. I saw the option to use the old regorfed evenviormet, but still doesn't work.
