Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne 1.22 Patch: No More CD

File: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne 1.22 Patch
Version: 1.22a Patch (1.22.0.6328)
Author: Blizzard




Warcraft III: TFT v1.22 has been around for a few months now but I want to blog about this for the benefit of those not in the know.

What I actually like about this patch is that it eliminates the need for a cd (or a crack) when you play Warcraft. It's really something I am sure not only me find quite useful. After all, cd's are not immortal.
