Data Error(CRC) on running Warcraft 3

Asked By Hillary Garner 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/24/2011

I need some help with my warcraft 3 game.

Yesterday it was working good, but then today when I tried to open it this suddenly comes out.

war3

This application has encountered a critical error:

Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Program: c:program fileswarcraft iiiwar3.exe

File: War3X.mpq

Press OK to terminate the application.

I tried to re-install the game and all that, but it still gives me that error thingy.

Someone please help me! I want to play already!

Data Error(CRC) on running Warcraft 3

Hi Hilary Garner!

Your Warcraft 3 source game is corrupted so you should buy a new CD or download a new (good) source game for installing.

Because CRC-errors are the original data is corrupted. In addition, you should scan your HDD by using command prompt Start > Run, type "chkdsk letter_driver: /f" (example: chkdsk c: .f) .

Thanks for reading!

Some kind of virus has affected the files of your game. And some of its files are being corrupted. That's why it is not running. First scan your completely with good anti virus and a registered one. Update it before scanning. When your scanning is completed and you are satisfy that there is nothing more bad virus in your computer than insert the disk of your game and try to repair the corrupt files manually by copy paste.

If that's not happening then you have to reinstall it. But before doing that save the folder where you are saving your games mission or stages. And reinstall it. In new game folder paste that copied folder again and enjoy the loaded game instead of new one.

Cheers.
