-Various third party methods to load the replay. None of which have worked.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I used to use the Lazytown Loader 2.0 to watch replays when bnet was down for maintenance. Haven't used it since about patch 9 though, so dunno if it still works, but you could give that a shot.

Seems like the lazy launcher or w/e doesn't work either. Game attempts to load, and then simply crashes. Can you confirm?

I can confirm this on patch 13. Trying to load a patch 12 replay either through the game menu itself or through lazy launcher crashes the game.

I mean't use it in your patch 12 setup though. The lazy launcher doesn't need a bnet connection, so in theory you should be able to watch replays on a patch 12 setup with no internet connection required. Since I don't have a patch 12 setup to test though, I can't confirm this.

Tried it on patch 12 and 13.

Its actually strange, anything from patch 5ish to patch 12 crashes if you try to normally load it without an internet connect. Has this always been true?

Also strange to note that patch 13 loads without an internet connection just fine.

Look at the VODs of semi-finals. See how there's no replay bar? And yet they definitely weren't played live. That means that they either recorded the games and then commentated them later, or just commentated them as they were being played and just streamed the recording.

Here's the only idea I have left to watch replays offline:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=124515

I haven't ever used that program, but from the changelog it supposedly worked with patch 12 (they call it patch 0.12) and they really advertise the watching replays offline feature.

You might have already tried it, but that's my last ditch effort. I got nothing else to help ya with

While I was one of those people who were dubious about not streaming the games on the day they were played, with Patch 13 it's become obvious that doing this was a smart idea after all. I presume we will be seeing the actual final games for the HDH, unlike just about every other tournament

The games have already been played so this option is not available.

They have to view the replays and cast the replays live.

They delayed stream the games, meaning they casted them live when they were played but the day they were played is not the day they're going to be streamed.

If that is true, why is HD all over the place desperately trying to get replays to work for tomorrow's HDH?

Ok, just to fill everyone in on exactly what happened.

IdrA vs WhiteRa games were played right before the patch and we are going to delay livestream those. Those finals are done and ready to be shared.

TLO vs NonY is a different story. We had a scheduled time (1pm PDT the day of the patch), but there was a major miscommunication. For this reason, HD and myself were not on to cast the games, so NonY and TLO made the right choice and played their games out. They litterally finished their games minutes before the servers went down and I received the replays in my inbox no more than 5 minutes before the servers went down for the patch.

For this reason, we got the replays about 5 minutes before patch 13 went live, which means they were played on patch 12. It was terrible timing and a really unfortunate chain of events. Right now we have the replays on patch 12 but can not cast them because we have not been able to find a way to launch the replays.
