Is this happening to all your reps or just some of them? Also is it at the start of the game that things go weird or like mid / late game | ||

Thanks for this information man, I can't believe I never knew that if the lurker disappears that the replay breaks, that is very interesting indeed. | ||

Most commonly replays break when you pause the game and chat with the opponent. The replays usually start bugging around the time you paused. In 90+% of the cases you can fix this by using Chaoslauncher and the Plug-In Replayfix. Download: http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft/ hf | ||

Ive never tried to intentionally reproduce it, but I've had games when I've tried to swan lurks while a toss is attacking my nat or something and they storm the eggs as they finish morphing while attacking with goons and stuff and instead of getting a death animation of larva or death animation of the popped lurker it just disappears. Its happened to me at least 4-5 times and the last couple I remember watching the re and it broke at that point | ||

UMS replays work only if they are played at 1x speed if there are certain triggers in the game. However obs mode maps are pretty uniformly ok. If you are giving impossible commands with hacks, that might be another reason the game gets confused.. A replay literally plays every action it recorded, so if you somehow made the game do something it shouldn't then that could screw it up. Another thing that will screw up replays is Team Melee mode, because Blizzard never actually designed replays to work for them... I don't know about the other game modes. Melee and One on One and Team games should all be fine tho. To really help you we need to know exactly the circumstanes... What 3rd party plug ins you're using, what mode you played in, when, etc... edit: whoops, didn't read you already fixed it from restarting... lol ;p | ||

This is an example map. What I did is: - Replace all the waits with Death Counters. - Replace all the ingame Transmissions (I still have them displayed before Defeat(), to give the player time to look at what causes that) with "Display Text Message", as the former acts as wait. Hope this help UMS map makers or players facing this weirdness. | ||
