Hi guys, been reading these forums for quite some time now.

Recently bought WC3 Standard Edition.
Unfortunately I am not completely satisifed with running it thorugh DosBox. Although everything is perfectly configured I can notice a little bit of lag and general "hickups" (albeit not very often) throughout the game.

I then came upon a WinXP HotFix File on the Internet (see http://www.esinn.net/index.php?link=artikel&artikel_nr=100), which makes the game extremely well playable (even under Win7 64Bit) without ANY configuration needed - the game basically plays absolutely perfect like in the old days.

The only problem I have is that when I switch to fullscreen I get glitchy colors (most of the screen is visible but some colors are funny (purple tinted). When I switch to windowed mode, everything is fine. Anyone knows what causes this?

P.S. I get the same problem under DosBox, but could solve it by starteing DosBox in Fullscreen mode (so the computer does not need to switch it when the game starts.

Thanks for you help.
 
Purely on a guess, I suspect this 'fix' is just the Kilrathi Saga files. But I can't tell for certain.
