After the recent updates to the ICCup Launcher I no longer see the option to join the abys server option only the regular servers are displayed: west east asia and Europe.

Im doing everything the way I always did but the option does not show up.

I also tried searching for the solution elsewhere I've seen that other people are having similar problem in this post. I tried following the suggested solution of downloading the iCCup_WarCraft_3_Reg.zip file but it didnt help me at all.

  • I already reinstalled the launcher, restarted computer and closed down all other programs including the launcher before trying to get the option back. This did not yield any results so please dont post it in the answer.

Some research showed that other people had this problem as well.

Apparently, this is a bug that is caused by the current iteration of the ICCup launcher.

Unlike previous versions, the launcher no longer re-adds the registry entry for ICCup every time you start it. As a result, anytime you access a regular battle.net gateway (such as USEast) Blizzard removes the ICCup entry and you have to go back to ICCup.com and get the registry entry.

If you are interested in doing this manually, the following steps should suffice just know that anytime you manually edit your registry, there can be dire consequences if you do it wrong.

Manual Registry Edit:

  1. type 'regedit' into the start menu's 'Run' dialog or directly into the search for windows Vista and beyond.

  1. navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Battle.net -> Configuration"

  2. open the Battle.net Gateways key

  3. add the following lines to the bottom of the file then save and close it. (Note: the format is always gateway address, time difference and then server name.)

    iCCup

Upon restart, you should have iCCup at the bottom again. However this change will revert anytime you connect to a Blizzard gateway.

  • Thanks for expanding your answer. I'd recommend removing the bit after the link, as going, "If this doesn't help, check there instead of here" runs counter to how Arqade works; we'd like authoritative answers provided here.

  • Finally something that works. Im wondering if you know how to make this solution more permanent every time i enter a gateway I need to go to regedit and redo the whole thing. I was trying to make the reg file read only but i cant even find it on my computer.

I'd like to add that there are two ways to stop other servers from overwriting your server list in the registry.

  1. Modify your existing registry key
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration\Battle.net gateways - Modify the first line and set it to a high number like 99999
  2. Create a new registry key to override the other one. Right click -> New -> Multi-String Value
    • name it "Override Battle.net gateways" and paste the server information from Battle.net gateways
