You can watch replays without the hack.

Well, I was finally able to watch one of the replays. Don't know why certain ones work and others don't. Doesn't seem to be an issue of not having the maps since I'm using Maniac's cache and I'm not getting any "missing files" messages on the ones that don't work - just a frozen black screen forcing me to terminate the program.

I'm satisfied with my computer's ability to handle the graphics. Doesn't look great, but it's the gameplay that counts. I haven't tried watching any really big battles yet, though, so we'll see.

Guys, My client won't even open when I try to open it.
Nothing happens at all, no lag, it just doesn't open.
Whats up with it?

Is there really no music when playing replays? I only hear sound effects. I can only watch replays btw.

That looks to be the case.

for some reason I'm having the same problem as Killakhan. I downloaded the client but whenever I right click and open with.. nothing happens at all.

I'm running vista and have tried running as admin too with the default opening program set to starcraft2.exe.

any ideas?


UPDATE: I figured out I was using the wrong .exe. Don't use the one in the main file because this is only the blizzard launcher. Use the .exe under support or under versions.

Now I have a different problem though, I've downloaded all the map files but its still saying that files that are not available locally are needed and must be downloaded. Perhaps I need to put the maps in a different location? I just put them inside the battle.net cache folder.. should they go inside of one of the folders in the cache folder?

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.
