3652 reverts to 3650 to watch replay

[Derek]

First: THANK YOU DEV TEAM.

I see a desync thread and a rating thread but nothing for bugs. Here's an apparent bug:

I tried to play co-op campaign today after seeing that the patch was up. I didn't expect it to get past the bug where it won't launch and it didn't. But it did DL 3652. Then I watched a local replay from two days ago. The server pushed 3650 as if it were a new release.

Ok, maybe it needs to DL the old stuff for an old version replay I thought. Then I went to try co-op again to see if it would DL 3652 and it did. Normal?

Cheers and can't wait to rock all the bug fixes/changes. THANK YOU DEV TEAM.

Derek-

Yes this is normal. FAF autopatches and autodownloads any mods needed to view a replay.

Whether or not it works is not something I know atm.

Thx for the reply Koopa.

It's not that though. It will go back and forth downloading 3650 and 3652. It takes four or five minutes each time.

I just tried it again to test and I used an actual game this time. Then I went to watch my replay from two days ago and it starts downloading 3650 again as if I had never done it.

It should only download a given patch once, right? I'm wondering if the new patch is marking the old one as if I don't have it.

Just a note for a 4v4 I just tried to play. Most everyone couldn't move or build anything (I could select my com). I've never seen that before.

It's normal. Each time to begin a game or replay, the game needs to see the files associated with the newest version (Game) or the version that game was played as (Replay). Since the game only looks for one set of files, each time you switch, it needs to download the appropriate files to the game read location.

Oh. Ok. Koopa, I retract my "It's not that though."

Thanks IceDreamer
