Because FYI there are a few things ingame that can corrupt a replay (some you can actually reproduce T_T), and if you try to save it, it'll freeze for EVERYONE who tries to save the rep, and of course, the rep is fuxx0rzed. | ||

Happended to me in one of the funniest games I've ever played so I'm still kinda pissed of that one getting bugged. | ||

When a tank explode the replay is corrupt as if it was from wrong patch, not corrupt as in bw freeze. As I said I have replays against mineralhackers so I dont think that's it either =o I strongly believe that in most cases it's caused by a bug and If it happends to you more often then what's resonable to accept then reinstall | ||

Tubby care to elaborate ?? How can you reproduce this?? Great way to ensure an embarassing game is never shown to the masses ^.^! | ||

Also, TURN OFF PenguinPlug's auto-replay saving! If you have it on, then BW will freeze when PP tries to save the rep automatically, just like it freezes when you click Save Replay. This happens when you click End Game after winning. | ||

The most common cause is usually lag. If the game is not smooth then the replay is corrupted. | ||

A common one is when someone lags: if one of the players has high apm and sends too many commands during the lag, then it will corrupt the replay. PenguinPlug warns you when this happens. If you try to save the replay, BW will freeze. Also, TURN OFF PenguinPlug's auto-replay saving! If you have it on, then BW will freeze when PP tries to save the rep automatically, just like it freezes when you click Save Replay. This happens when you click End Game after winning. I told you guys that, when we were playing like TMM v2.somehting, and you guys always freezed, and we had to use PP to prevent Hatch cancelling bug ;p.  And yes, You need to deactivate it, becuase as Bill said, if someone with high apm, clicks faster at the begining of the game, and someone starts to lag, the game will take too many actions and will corrupt the replay. A shame really ;p. | ||

Same thing happens to me, just use the autoreplay thingy, then don't save the replay, and if you load it into bwchart or something, it will just say "1 replay corrupted" or what not. Atleast it saves you from crashing | ||
