Replays crashing?

[orangat]

I've been downloading replays but many seem to just hang at the loading stage.
I think some might have been for BI and might not work for me since I only have RTW but I'm sure some which crashed were only using RTW units. Are replays patch compatible across patches?

Also RTW seems to create core files on c:\ after I had kill it manually. Anyone knows where those junk files are located??

For the first question, I am pretty sure 1.2 and 1.3 are not compatible as unit stats were changed, but I don't know for the other patches. I lack the technical savvy to answer your second question with certainty. Are you talking about uninstalling the game or about memory leak? In the first case, the 1.2 patch creates a registry entry which is not removed when you remove the game. Cleaning the registry should solve this. In the second case, restarting the computer should help.

I'm certain that 1.2 replays work on 1.5. I've downloaded emperors old commentaries+replays which are named v1.2 and they work just fine. Some however just don't load properly and just hangs.
I really need to track down the junk files because I'm short of space on c:

Odd. I couldn't load 1.1 replays on my 1.2 game and there the unit stats hadn't changed. Unfortunatly, I cannot help you with your other problem.

I have watched old replays but a warning tells that stats are different and the replay still runs but outcome is different.

Ahem, yes, you are right. They can be played, but they won't be the same.

Should have remember that :oops: .

I think you also might have to consider that in RTW 1.3 and onwards, the skeletons for several units changed and this might confuse older, pre-v1.3 replays. Or perhaps that has no bearing on anything.
