Ok guys, I tried to do as much research as I could before creating another thread, as I know how much we all love multiple threads on the same subject, but I am officially stumped.

I am trying to record and commentate on some replays that I have saved from the last day or two of Phase 2 (they were almost all recorded the Sunday before the Beta went down). One of the most common ways I see for people to do this is to rename the version folders to 'XXXBase...' to get to the correct version for the replays (even though these were recorded on the newest patch) and then load them using the SC2Switcher.exe to play them. My problem is, I cannot load the maps using SC2Switcher.exe. When I drag them over the icon, it does not light up, giving me the option to load. If I just try to drop them onto it, I get the error message and the replay just goes back to its folder.

If I just try to play the replays normally, I (obviously) get the "you are not using a client..." error message from B-Net because the patch is down.

Lastly, I tried by using the Map Editor, but I did not run it while the beta was up (I was too busy playing) and I never authenticated it. I try to now, and I get the same error.

How can I play these replays on my Mac? Thanks for any/all help.

I've found no solution and I'd assume that there isn't one at the moment.

I dont want to start a new thread but i have a somewhat similar problem.

I just played a really fun game and i want to email or post the game so that my friend can watch it. The problem of course is that i Have a Mac and i have no idea on how to get the saved replays into a folder or how to get them out of SC2.

If someone can please help me i would love you!!!

Easy.

Navigate to your home directory and select "Documents" then follow this path:

Blizzard -> Starcraft II -> Accounts -> <Random Numbers> -> <More Random Numbers> -> Replays -> Unsaved and sort by time. Once you find it copy it on over!
