Formerly working replays desyncing

[NewForumAccount]

It has come to my attention that old replays (e.g. from 3628, 3621) most of the time desync within the first minutes even though they worked fine before. One of the patches between 3629 and 3632 seems to have changed something that does't get reverted back correctly when launching the old replay.
While this bug has pretty low priority, it does make most of Sheppards tutorial-replays useless.

Can you post some replays ID that desynced?

I can confirm that this happens with all of my old replays.

Here's an example:

The patcher update is ready but will only be applied after the more important fixes.

Guys, this is the tourney section, not the tech support forum

This thread probably got "lost" when the forums where restructured (It doesn't even show up in my "View your posts" overview).

Yes this topic was accidentally moved.

Indeed we know this is happening, and we have an upcoming client update that will make it easier to ensure you always use the right game files to play the game or watch replays with.
