This is the latest official patch for WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos as of 14 December 2016. Do not use this patch if you have The Frozen Throne expansion pack installed, as it has a separate patch.

Just download the file and then run it. It will auto-install by itself.

Various Hive Workshop users have tested out maps over 8mb, including a specialized version Gaias Retalliation ORPG which is around 50mb.
