As you all know, kloader has not been working for quite some time, and no new alternative has been proposed. With 1.30 version there is no need anymore for sandboxie to be able to run 2 clients, but trying to join lan from both fails, even using sandboxie. This leaves map testing for multiplayer only possible from older w3 versions or testing directly from bnet or using 2 computers.
After many hours of trying I have found an alternative, which allows for any number of lan clients on 1.30.1 patch on w10 (should work for other windows version too).
For 1.28-1.29 patch, you need to use sandboxie for the second instance and the .bat second line should be something like:
start E:\Programs\Sandboxie\Start.exe ForceBindIP -i 127.0.0.2 "%W3Path%\Warcraft III.exe"
For 1.30.2+ patch, forget about ForceBindIP and just open second window with sandboxie, you can enter lan with both and it will work.
Happy map testing!

- Install ForceBindIP | r1ch.net
- Create a .bat file on same folder as where the program was installed with this content:
SET W3Path=E:\Programs\w3\Warcraft III
start ForceBindIP -i 127.0.0.1 "%W3Path%\Warcraft III.exe"
start ForceBindIP -i 127.0.0.2 "%W3Path%\Warcraft III.exe"
- Change E:\Programs\w3\Warcraft III to your warcraft path.
- Save and run the bat file (double click). If everything went alright, 2 warcraft instances should be opened and you will be able to access lan from both.
- Create a game from one and join from the other.
