I get this exception when I run the game:
Exception thrown: 'SharpDX.SharpDXException' in SharpDX
Warcraft.vshost.exe Error: 0 : SharpDX.SharpDXException: HRESULT: [0x887A0005], Module: [SharpDX.DXGI], ApiCode: [DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED/DeviceRemoved]
This seems to be an issue with Windows 7. Install this Windows Update and verify that the issue is resolved.
I hear the background music, but not the sound effects.
Install the latest DirectX runtime and verify that the issue is resolved.
