Replays are often impossible to download

[xanlyandri]

Extremely annoying when trying to analyze my games, even when waiting days I cannot download the replays. Just throws an error. Just thought I'd repost because this has been an issue for months now

Thread 'Error replay not yet ready for download'

Sep 17, 2024

When I try to download replays for games, it errors several times, suggesting to the user the replay is not available with no indication as to why. I was about to say I cannot download replays but after 3-5 attempts it finally does the download without error. I'm wondering if it's just a messaging issue as it finds/spools the replay as maybe nobody else has requested it yet so it may be unpacking it or something.

If the error one gets is called #citadel_replay_manager_decompression_failure, it may be because they have mods installed. You'll have to set your gameinfo.gi folder to be the "default" one and they might get to download replays while playing vanilla.
