All Replays broken

Postby Katharsas » 12 Mar 2017, 05:54

So it looks like the "preview" functionality of the "Advanced Strategic Icons" Mod broke all my replays, because they all show the preview replay of that mod now.
Video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR1ubQw ... e=youtu.be

Since Dro (who also had this bug) told me that even a fresh install of FAF doesn't solve this (without manully cleaning every FAF related folder), and since even online replays are broken (how can that even happen?), there sure as hell are some deeper problems with the client, that maybe can get fixed.

Sounds more like a problem with that mod to me and less like an issue with FAF...
Did you try uninstalling the ASI mod and looking at the replays without it?
Also when making a bug report you should attach logs. Instructions are in the red text above.

Uninstalling the mod does not solve it, but clearing the gamefiles and settings (via FAF Menu "Options") did solve it.
Case closed i guess, since its an easy fix for the user, if he knows about the possibility to clear stuff.

On that note:
he clearing actions should be moved out of the settings menu, and instead of clearing, there should be a menu item called "Fix FAF Client Problems" or similar, which opens a window. That window should have buttons for clearing things and also show an explanation what clearing this folders means and why it can solve problems. Right now, without any explanation, people will not be aware of this possiblity to fix stuff or they will be afraid to use them i think.
