Problem with replay after Patch 8

[Syryuu]

Guys, any of you experienced any problems with viewing replays after the latest patch (0.10.0.14803)? I updated my cache files from sc2win dated April 8. After I installed patch 8 and tried to play a replay the loading screen just goes blank and after a while it just crashes. Then I tried to play a game (using launcher 0.28 from valkyrie) and it loads until about 80% then crashes. I found a fix for playing the game by deleting the cache folder in "User folder"/AppData/Local/Blizzard Entertainment/. But i still can't play any replays even if I use the Battle.net login bypass. Any of you have any ideas on how I could fix this? And I don't think this problem is related to the launcher since the same problem occurs if I use lazylaunch directly. I even tried re-intalling SC2 but to no avail.

Could the cache files you downloaded be corrupted? I have the same setup, the only difference is that my cache files are from patch 7 yet replays work perfectly.

I don't think the cache files I used are corrupted. I always have backup copies of the cache files in every update. I even tried System Restore. I think a clean OS install may fix this but I'm to lazy to do this. hehe. I'll just try to check other files related to SC2 maybe some of the files may have been corrupted. By the way, I don't have any problem playing my own local replays.

@syryuu: we have the same problem

Good news xiao-xiao...I've fixed the problem. However I can't seem to trace the steps I've made. I just played around with folders from "Documents/StarCraft 2 Beta", "AppData/Local/Blizzard Entertainment/Cache" and the Cache folder in the install directory. I deleted one or a combination of these folders. But I'm fairly certain that these steps will fix that problem:
(1) Uninstall StarCraft 2 Beta along with other launchers installed.
(2) Delete ALL the folders mentioned above.
(3) Reinstall StarCraft 2 Beta.
(4) Install patches.
(5) Copy the latest replay cache files to "AppData/Local/Blizzard Entertainment/Cache".
(6) Then reinstall all other necessary files (AI, Maps, Launchers).

Hey everyone, I just updated to patch 10 and bam ! no more replays. All I get is the SC2 cursor on a black screen and it's game over for me. Can anyone advise on a solution ? Thanks !

[Dark_Templar]

How do you attempt to start the replays? Do u use any launcher (if yes,which?)? Or did u get the login bypass to work?

@ Venom: Even some of the beta testers are having problems with their replays...However you can still view your own replays.

Edit: playing safe...
