Ive tried this loads of times months ago when diablo told me about it, never worked.

[pewpew lasergun]

[MarshMallows]

I did everything that was said in the tutorial, it just doesn't work for me.

Have you tried restarting your computer 7 times then performing a satanic ritual similar to the one shown below?

[MarshMallows]

yh..

[Jubadus]

good tutorial ty worked great

So this did not work for me for the first time today. Then I tried it again but when I went to run the Gproxy I right clicked and did run as admin and it worked fine. Just another thing to try if you get stuck.

[pewpew lasergun]

you should always have gproxy run as admin.
here is how.

your shortcut should have like a shield on it when it runs on admin mode.
have fun ^^

You can also create a shortcut of your gproxy and change the icon to your wc3 icon, so they look the same, but its gproxy.

@nabo.

damn all this time this info was available on the wiki ?

@pewpew%20lasergun

Not everything. But, I updated it yesterday because a lot of people recently have been asking me about gproxy and related tech issues.

[pewpew lasergun]

for players who want the alternative gproxy, pasted it from my other comment in another thread.

Ive tried this loads of times months ago when diablo told me about it, never worked.

I tried the same routine many many times and it never worked. Then I tried to enter bnet normally (without the proxy successfully activated) and immediately quit wc3, without even logging in to bnet.

Then i repeated the process as descripted in the main guide and it worked on first try.

"Main guide" as in? Wiki? Topic?
