Why is it that sometimes I cannot save replays? Sometimes BW will just freeze when I hit save replay and the file will be there but will be corrupt when i try to play it...

this was happening alot in 1.13 and I figured it was cause someone was using a hack (i play alot of 3v3 korean hunters games) but its been happening even more frequently now with 1.14 it just happened 3 minutes ago but this time broodwar just totally quit and gave me a stupid "save your work" error... ya ill save my work in bw? o.O

I heard that when you beat a really good player and he is pissed, he just leaves fast, creates a game with the same name in order not to allow you to save rep...

But I may be wrong...

Um... it's just when the replay file is corrupt.

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.

Well most mineralhackers I have encountered have messed up the replay. But it can happend with friends too so it's not an indicator of foul play. That it happends more in 3:3 has to do with there being more people that can potentially mess something up.
Happended to me in one of the funniest games I've ever played so I'm still kinda pissed of that one getting bugged.

Well I don't know what can corrupt a replay that way actually? It's a big unknown bug to me..

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 ^.^!

Like ET said, some things in-game can corrupt the replay. 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.

In my experience two things cause teh replay to freeze: hacking/hackers in your game (not 100% of the time however...just like the maphack sometimes used to make the maphacker drop, but 90% of the time worked fine) and lag.

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

Basicaly you can corrupt a replay by holding Ctrl +1 for over 15 seconds, its too much info for the replay file. So if you have a really bad game against someone you don't like who you know will brag about the replay...

Just kidding.

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
