Some replays won't play

Post by conboy »

Some of my replays won't play. They all seem to be from the same campaign. See picture - all that fail have the same message.

any ideas for troubleshooting?

Do other replays from other custom campaigns work?

Is that the correct folder name for the campaign?

Only the replays from 3d Infantry Division campaign won't replay. None of them will, the ones I saved and the ones sent to me.

All the other replays work -- I haven't cleaned them up in a while and there are some that don't even have the scenario in the scenario files any more - they still play. I tried to find the path name for them but couldn't, the replays are all machine code when you look at them.

My recent replays from another campaign I'm working on also play.

The path in the picture is not correct -- I updated the title of the campaign to add the version number. But the other replays work without their scenarios.

bafflement, mon frere. Thanks for replying!

Shards,
I just got another one, a save game from Erik. Looks like when I download a replay or a save game, and paste it in the appropriate directory, it won't play. The ones I save from my computer are fine. Here's a screen shot. Please note that the replay is looking for it based on the campaign they originate from.

Thanks again for looking at this!

conboy, that air_deployment file is a save game, not a replay.

Erik,
It doesn't matter -- it's the same principle. I can't play downloads from other people.

Add one of your own replays (that works) here and let me test it on my rig.

Tech Support,
This problem has not gone away.
Seems that some of the replays of the 3d Division Campaign will play. None of them from my computer will play. Not on my computer or anyone else's.
See post from JTFox:
viewtopic.php?f=374&t=102239#p911108

Here is link to the same replay I sent JTFox -- maybe you can check it out and see why it won't play.

None of 3d Division replays will play either on my computer either. Any ideas?

Other replays from custom campaigns and regular campaigns are fine.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I'm encountering the same error message loading the replay. I guess the replay needs the campaign folder to display any popup pics or something.

However, it's "easily" corrected by doing what the error message tells you to. In my case, change the folder name of the US 3d ID campaign and remove the version number from it. Then the replay worked okay.

Dayam!

Thanks Gabe!

So the folder name has to match the campaign name...

As Gomer might say, "Shazayam!"
