If this is true, it confirms my theory that the problem is with the launcher or the map, but it's clearly with the launcher. After you close the launcher, how do you use the hotkeys?

I tried the method described by pi4aD and I was indeed able to make a whole game. I didn't follow the exact steps he described, but basically, after I entered the game, I just closed the launcher. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I'll try again later to confirm.

not a single error 2nd day in a row

for me is not working this method.tried 2 games

ive made a couple of custom maps also are you sure you are following all 3 steps ?

Are you using new launcher? If so, try with old one. With the star launcher if u exit will be disconnected.

I've already made 5 games without any crashes. This already confirms that the problem is only in the launcher. Just let the administrators write again that the problem is in Windows and Microsoft will fix the problem :)

9 games in a row without any crashes. Thank you pi4aD

Dear pi4aD,

Thank you so much for sharing this alternative to fix the issue with the Windows 11. You are an exemplary player and a well-mannered member! We appreciate your contribution to improving the game experience and helping our community. I personally did not come across with that issue, but I understand people's complaints about the persisting issue. However, such a technical issue is not easy or quick to handle until a bug or final solution is found after a period of time, and our developers are working on it, being aware of the situation.

Your steps will be shared and helpful as an alternative for other people to play and enjoy DotA and WC3 map.

Best regards,

Fk, thanks pi4ad (pichad, right? :D)

We will proceed to close the thread at the end of the day if there are no further relevant contributions.. but people facing the windows 11 issue, don't worry we will pin @pi4ad's steps.

It's more like a problem with the videocard (Nvidia)

i cant tell if only nvidia users having troubles with iccup launcher on win 11 24h2 but definetly if im going to upgrade my rtx 3060 12 gb i will go for radeon 7800 XT instead of 8 gb gpu in 2025 from nvidia
