HiveWE troubleshooting

Stijn edited this page Nov 23, 2023 · 2 revisions

When HiveWE doesn't seem to start check the following:

  • Your computer supports OpenGL 4.5
    You can check it with this tool.
    You need a not outdated GPU(Video card). Usually anything newer than 2010-2012 works for this such as an NVidia Geforce 400/AMD Radeon HD 7000 or newer.
    As for pure integrated graphics a CPU from the Intel 6000 series or newer is needed. Usually laptops newer than 2015 will have this. If your laptop is older than 2015 it might still have a separate GPU that supports OpenGL 4.5.
    Be sure to update your Windows and GPU driver if any issues occur.

  • You are running Warcraft 1.31 or newer.
    HiveWE does not and will not support anything lower than the most current Warcraft version. If you need support for an older version then you can download an older HiveWE version.
    HiveWE version to game version mapping:

HiveWE Version Warcraft Version
0.7 1.36
0.6 1.31
0.4, 0.5 1.30
0.3 1.29
0.1, 0.2 1.28.5

If issues still persist then send me a message containing detailed information and the output of the console window (black window with text)
