    Hello!
    A friend told me to download wc3 from you and play on your server, I followed the step by step guide.. Not sure where i made a mistake so what I did was:

    1. I downloaded the game(1.28.5 version)
    2. I created a new folder in harddrive (E) with the winrar option and extracted the game there.
    3. I downloaded and ran USA battle installer
    4. I opened the game folder and ran Usa battle gateway
    5. I start the game and run into error

    The error i get is [Lib] Patch Error (w3lh.dll)
    Could not open game.dll

    I hope my issue can get solved and I will appreciate any help I get from you guys!

    Hello,
    Have you selected your warcraft3 folder upon running usabattle installer? If you did install it into the game folder it seems some game files may not have been extracted correctly or they're corrupted so try reinstalling the game and make sure you run winrar and the usabattle installer as an administrator.
