Blizzard Entertainment hat den Patch 1.29 für WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos und WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne veröffentlicht. Das Update fügt Breitbild-Unterstützung hinzu, nimmt diverse Balance-Änderungen an den Helden vor und aktualisiert die Map-Pools. Außerdem wird ein (experimenteller) Spielmodus für 24 Spieler in benutzerdefinierten Matches eingeführt. Der Spiel-Client kann in der Battle.net-Accountverwaltung runtergeladen werden, sofern der "CD-Key" dort registriert wurde. Etwaige Probleme mit dem Patch bzw. der enGB-Version (britisch) können auftreten (Details).
