Download HolePunch patch
    By default you will need to forward port 6112 UDP in your router to be able to host games.
    If you don't know how to do that then you can also download the hole punch patch here instead.


Download Warcraft II Config program
    If your GOG.com install isn't working or there are graphical glitches (e.g. text is not being displayed properly) then download the Warcraft II Config program here.
    You can enable windowed mode via the config program or by pressing Alt+Enter while the game is running. A right-click will lock the cursor to the window in windowed mode.
