Enterprise Connection

ENT Connect (aka econnect) will reconnect you once you disconnected.

Advantages

  • Joining games is easier: To join a game with ENT Connect, all you have to do is find your favorite game on the gamelist and then click the grey E next to the game (in the Connect column). Once the applet opens and turns green, start Warcraft, click on Local Area Network, and then join the game (it should be the first entry in the list).
  • Reduces chance of disconnection: ENT Connect gives you GProxy++ support, meaning that you can reconnect to games if your Internet connection briefly disconnects.
  • Hosting games: It's also now possible to host games on our public hosting system using the website. To do this, go to the ENT Link tab and select "Host a game". Once the game is hosted, head to the gamelist, find the game, and then click the grey E (note that it may take several seconds for the game to be hosted). (If you're hosting DotA, then select "DotA with referees" from the list of maps.)
  • Anti-Maphack: The ENT Connect AMH system is enabled by checking the "Enable AMH" in the ENT Connect tab. ENT AMH games require the system to be enabled. When in-game, the system will disconnect players who are detected to be using maphack or similar third party programs. Follow the instructions to install lgver.mix into your Warcraft III folder. Once that's done, you'll need to restart Warcraft 3, then just join the game from the Warcraft 3 LAN tab as you would any other game.
