However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the W3P file to open in the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W3P file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The W3P file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the W3P file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file W3P or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover W3P files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of W3P file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair W3P file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file W3P except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the W3P file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file W3P to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the W3P file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
