How does Warcraft 3 discover games on the LAN?
I have 3 machines, all with Warcraft 3 1.31 (Not Reforged.) A Mac, A Windows 7 PC and a Windows 10 PC. Any of them can host a lan game just fine, but the windows 10 PC cannot find games hosted by the mac or the windows 7 PC. Even if I turn off the firewall.
What ports and protocols does Warcaft 3 use to find lan games? (Hosting games is well known.)
Best Answer
Warcraft 3 sends broadcast packets on UDP port 6112. If the machines aren't on the same subnet, or something is not forwarding broadcast packets, then they won't see the game.
