You can watch replays without the hack.

Just follow the instructions in the link Operatoring put up, and download Maniac's cache file and put that in the correct place. It should work perfectly fine then.

its workin now :P thanks all!!

Never mind, sorted out.

Why can't I watch replays on Metropoilis in the new patch? I already got the map cache file from the previous patch. I could watch Metropolis replays before, why not now?

we wont be able to watch replays from newer versions of the beta - the game data & content isnt ion the map cache but rather in the patch / the game itself. even if we could patch our games too (like by temporarily logging in with a friends account) someone said they have changed it so that you need to log in to watch replays at all now.

im not exactly sure why they'd do this past some quite unnecessary & irrational principal reasoning, but im giving up hope on watching anything but stuff from the first beta build.

For those that want to watch replays, here are some that I saved:

And here are all the ones that I've ever played (although most of them suck because it was my friends playing):

These are all from before the first patch. I thought I should upload them before I play any new games, so that I don't have unplayable replays mixed in.

do you realize that dishing out your replays to people can be a bad idea?

...Why?

[milo]

I thought they disabled replays altogether?

Dude, there's absolutely no harm in doing that. When B.NET comes to fruition with the game, players will undoubtedly be able to attach their favorite replays to their own profiles for download.

Apparently all you need to solve the problem is the post patch cache folder.
