For some reason, meat wagons look like shadows and I can't control them at all. I'm running Warcraft3 version 1.04. Does anyone else have this problem?

No. No prob here. Though If I use AA it makes the charistors in the box at bottem not appear but the map part is fine. What card? System specs? And what D3D settings are you using?:confused:

I have:

P3 866 MHz
ATI Radeon 7500 using Catalyst 2.4 drivers (previous driver also has same problem)
Default D3d settings (AA set at quality/app preference 2x samples)
Windows XP Professional
SB Live value sound

I've tried reinstalling the game but that didnt help.

Change your settings in the game to lower detail. And update drivers.

I tried all lowdisplay settings with no luck. Also, I'm already running with the latest video/sound/windows drivers. It seems like I'm missing the file to render the meatwagon. I cannot see it any time in the game, only it's shadow. Even in the Credits section of the game, I can only see the shadow. Is there a way to check if i have the file?

Disable AA and true form! That fixes it for me....
P4 1.5 gig
Asus P4t-e
pc 800 rdram syncmax (nec chips)
Radeon 8500 64mb
DX 8.1 and newest DX8.1 catalyst drivers:t

Which latest drivers? They released Two in two days! Streight from the Catalyst teams mouth at rage3d.com! So there is the DX 8.1 updates and the DX9.0 ones. I have the newest dx8.1 and they do have the ability to diable Trueform as did the ones before it, etc and AA settings. Trueform you should choose "always off" its at bottem of D3D panel. To turn of AA though you have to use rage3dtweak from www.rage3d.com a ATI fan site.;) AA should work with it all the way at bottem to 2x though. Its seems to for me know all assuden with the new drivers (dx 8.1 ver.) the old ones didnt work in AA at all with WC3.:t
