Replay system broken

The replay system seems to need a lot of work still. The buttons often don't react, it seems like you have to press pause in between combat sequences for it to have any function. The forward button skips deployment and jumps right into turn 2, so I can never jump to the point after deployment but before the first turn. Jumping to the situation after the last turn is also broken, units disappear from the map without reason, like in my sealion 40 replay my final stage is missing all units in London.
The strategic map also doesn't show the flags changing sides (the circles remain green), so you can't really follow the progress by jumping from turn to turn on that view.
And finally my low countries replay is completely broken. I tried saving it again and again from my save from the last turn, but it never works. The replay already starts with the view centered on the west, meaning where I was on my last turn, not on the east with deployment. it also doesn't immediately center view on deployment once that starts. The first combat for belgium kinda works, then in the south trucks appear out of nowhere, not showing the actual unit movements and then everything just stops and nothing else seems to be there.
All this, especially the last, kinda forced me to cancel my replay series on youtube which I had already started and has now come to a very premature end.

I think one post about this suffices ...

True but I put this one in the wrong section by accident and I cannot move stuff. Any mod can simply delete this one. however, sometimes bugs are rather reported here, so whichever is best can stay.

I think it's fine to leave the post here. This one is dedicated to reporting bugs and someone looking after them may have a look here. Mentioning it again in the AAR thread is just an explanation why they do not continue so not really a double post per se.

He meant the exact same post in Tech Support.

I've left a shadow of the KeldorKatarn's second post in order to avoid he posted a third time.

The problem is that those shadow posts can't be deleted. We will have to live with that.
