WARCRAFT III: THE FROZEN THRONE VERSION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PATCH 1.17 Beta 405
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXES
- Fixed a problem that could cause working acolytes to be included in
teleport spells.
- Fixed an issue with Taunt that prevented the ability from working under
certain conditions.
- Fixed a problem with Transmute such that the spell now awards proper
experience for the unit transmuted.
- Fixed a graphical issue with Volcano that could cause the Moon Well
water art to float.
- Fixed a problem with Soul Burn that was incorrectly preventing all damage
from affected units rather than partial damage.
- Fixed an issue with the Demon Hunter which could cause the Hero to
permanently lose attack damage when reverting from Metamorphosis while
affected by True Shot Aura.
- Fixed a problem with Incinerate that was causing affected units to award
experience improperly when killed.
- Fixed an issue with displaying the upgraded Tree Of Life graphics.
- Fixed a problem with Chemical Rage causing the ability to interrupt the
Alchemist's current actions when the spell wore off.
- Fixed an issue causing Incinerate's bonus damage to be applied to all
units attacking the target instead of just the Firelord.
- Fixed a problem preventing Phased Faerie Dragons from town portaling.
- Fixed an issue with Faerie Dragons that could cause them to become
unresponsive to most commands if you Phase Shifted just as the unit was
attacking something.
- Fixed a problem that was causing the Trueshot Aura icon to display on
units without a ranged attack.
- Fixed an issue with the Incinerate explosion so that it always affects
other units of the same type you targeted. (i.e. Attacking a ground unit
will hurt other ground units. Attacking an air unit will hurt other air
units. Structures are not affected.)
- Fixed Doom so that the spell now has a maximum creep level.
- Fixed Banish and Sleep so they are now auto-dispelled as intended.
- Fixed a problem with Polymorphed/Hexed units that would hide the ability
buttons of other units of the same type in a selection or subgroup.
- Fixed an issue with Phased Faerie Dragons that would prevent them from
teleporting.
- Fixed an issue that casued Crypt Fiends to deactivate Web when they
unburrowed.
- Fixed a problem with channeling spells that would prevent them from
being recast while channeling.
- Fixed a problem that caused units to become unresponsive if they needed
to move closer to their target after the casting process had started.
- Fixed a problem with Cleaving Attack that would prevent it from working
when Orbs were equipped.
- Fixed an issue that would not allow Mechanical Critters as targets of
the Staff of Teleportation.
- Fixed a problem with Feedback causing the ability to deal summoned
damage to any units with a mana pool.
- Fixed an issue with Cleaving Attack that would cause Thorns Aura to
reflect damage on targets that took splash damage.
- Fixed an issue preventing Acid Bomb from damaging Ethereal units.
