Further update. I can successful save and watch replays using the FAF - FA.exe - sending to the FAF replay server. So sounds like something is up with the way the lobby launches the game.
I've tried a reinstall and games do not save via the lobby.

Update - I can successful telnet on port 15000 to the replay server. This rules out any outgoing port issues on any of my firewalls.

Pilot I understand where you are coming from. I'm not about to sit on the outside and pretend I know anything about your system.
I don't block any outgoing ports, and it appears there are quite a few of us in Australia that can't post replays anymore.
I just would like to get this going for us, one way or another. It seems like I have no where to go if you are not going to help on your side.
I'll install wireshark and see if I get a response from the replay server.

No, filter is not on.

I don't want to sound harsh, but as you have no clue how all the system works, there is very few chances that you have a solution (and even more if that solution is that simple).

Chances are that you are blocking the outgoing connection to the replay server indeed.

About 1500 replays are going through livereplay each week, it doesn't look like a lot are failing...

Sounds to me either filtering is on. If this is the case there's a couple of people I would like to add to the list of allowed players to post replays. Or if that is not the case then there is a technical limitation to how many people can post.
Any way to find out if my replays aren't landing?
If not my only other option is to put wireshark on and see what is returned.
Do you have admin rights on the server hosting the replays? Can you check whether my replays are showing?

I don't think you understood this. We don't rely on GPG live replay, we have our own.

It's an open source replay server, but I didn't code this, and it's in java, that's why I won't fix it.

OK so I guess that means we are stuck with the default replay server which goes down quiet often? Or does FAF use a different replay server to GPG?
It would be great to get this option "back" at some stage....
My replays save and load fine from my replay server, but I only know how to use the command line switches to make it happen.

You can't use /savereplay because it's already used for livereplay.
/log is already enabled (the log is in your FAF lobby folder).

Thanks Ze_PilOt. Nice to know. I've had a look at server version. To continue my troubleshooting I need to be able to add command line switches to FA via the FAF lobby.
In GPG this was possible using the options menu. I've googled my heart out and searched the file system and can not find an equivalent for FAF. Is there one?
IE Is it possible to launch a game via the FAF lobby with command line switches like /savereplay and /size and /log, etc

Livereplay can fail if the sender of the replay got a problem, I don't have any control on that.

There can still be some bug in the liveReplayServer, but it's the only thing I didn't code.

It's an opensourced Java code, feel free to debug it if you want :

how resent has this happened?

What happens when you try to watch a livereplay?

have you had any new updates recently?

This appears to be reasonably widespread. I can watch some people's replays. It doesn't appear to be a port issue. This is going to drive us back to GPG (Please don't let me go back).
Perhaps a permission issue on a folder? Or a default folder issue? Or a Windows 7 64 bit issue?
Any suggestions?

Update

Was playing a game and died so to test if replay bot was working properly i quit and tried to watch the replay and it didnt work and i wasnt alone other players also couldnt watch replays.

P.s: was a custom map (crystall sludge v2) and we tried watching off players that were still in game.
