Hi I have serious problem :
All I want is to be able to watch new replays without having Beta Key.
I have :
1. Installed US client on default patch (C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\)
2. Patched client to StarCraft II Beta Patch 2 (version 0.4.0.14133)
3. Installed battlenetgfx_021 to bypass the login.
4. Downloaded recent replay http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/replays/29072 (http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/replays/29072)
5. Placed replay in C:\Users\User_Name\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Replays\Multiplayer\
6. Game is played on Desert Oasis, so Ive downloaded most recent map version at http://www.nibbits.com/sc2/maps/download/131466/ (http://www.nibbits.com/sc2/maps/download/131466/)
7. Copied this map to : C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache\96\66\
When I try to launch this replay Ive got an error :
** TEMP ** One or more files which are needed to play this game are not avaliable locally. They must by downloaded first.
OK Problem solved : (http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/index.php?topic=700.0)
I have replaced Cache folder with this :
http://www.sc2win.com/starcraft-2-downloads/starcraft-2-cache-files-update (http://www.sc2win.com/starcraft-2-downloads/starcraft-2-cache-files-update)
*closed*
Sorry, can anyone verify that this works?
this is working.
there're two key things to do :
- get the ORIGINAL base.SC2DATA
- download the updated cache files linked above.
#HLLH - >It will work when you do exaclty step by step what I did but instead of point 6 and 7 do what I did in previous post just replace with new cache folder.
It does not work when you launch lazylaunch 1 or 2+AI though. I just did it and I must reinstall game to be able to watch replays again...
The other bad thing that lazylaunch2 + new patch do is it will double your starting building and workers in sandbox and when you want play vs AI. (even if you backup your old base.SC2data)
I hope it will be fixed soon.
I believe that the only thing you are missing is what Marlowe said, updating the cache folder.
