Hey all -

We've just updated to 1.22.2.5125 which provides an additional fix towards the UI going blank on certain machines in certain circumstances.

Thank you for your patience.

cheers,
Matt

It seems the patch this week introduced an issue with the Watch Replay button in the user profile. As a temporary workaround, replays should still playback fine from single player, or multiplayer custom games.

We're working the replay from profile issue and aim to have a fix in coming days. Thanks for your patience and apologies for the goof up.

Thanks for the report,

We will look in to it.

We've just updated to 1.22.2.5120 to partially address an issue with UI going blank on certain machines in certain circumstances - the UI should now reappear when moving to a new screen if this happens (or scrubbing the replay to a new time offset).

We'll be updating again in coming days to:
* Further address the blank UI issue.
* Address the issue with replays not playing back properly when viewed from the History tab.

Thanks to TT1 for helping us reproduce the blank UI issue.

12/13/2018 11:13 AMPosted by BRuǂQuaD After ladder game is finished I have everything empty on the screen. No data is loaded. Very common issue. Devs plz pay attention to this. Have to completely restart BW client to fix this.

We've seen the multiple reports coming in on this, and are actively looking at it. Thanks again.

12/13/2018 11:16 AMPosted by BRuǂQuaD Also have problems with some recent replays bug out. If you need more details I can share replay I played just now.

Great, I've just sent you over an email. Appreciate the help!

You guys are pretty great but I am curious... are you guys aware of us "little guys" and but that I mean the Snipers Community. We have been here since 99'. Any type of acknowledgement would suffice and be appreciated. If you guys are not familiar with us. You can check out our discord here https://discord.gg/vfhxghc and watch our newly made Snipers video here https://youtu.be/TDa0sQj-vXY.

I really hope you guys come join us, because although melee is great... we believe we created a game so great that it maybe stand-alone worthy. Again, you guys are doing an amazing job and it'd be cool to know if you guys know of us or maybe have sniped at some point in time (Since it's a very popular map).

I'll join, and take a look. Thanks for supporting BW.

12/12/2018 03:05 PMPosted by SuGo Seems like a lot of issues already when watching replays.

So far, we've had no luck in reproducing this issue internally. Is there any other info you can share - for example, general PC specs? OS? Does this only happen in the replay overlay? (I assume it also happens in the observer overlay). Is it happening when watching via the single player menu or only in the multiplayer menus? Anything else you can think of to help us narrow it down.

12/12/2018 02:58 PMPosted by Skywind116 Currently it has issues with creating game, and ladder in Korea server.
We can't play any kind of game right now.
I never checked it how's going on for other server, but please fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you.

We are actively working on resolving this issue. Thanks for the report.

We believe this has been resolved. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any issues.

12/12/2018 03:05 PMPosted by SuGo Seems like a lot of issues already when watching replays.

Already 3 instances when watching replays -

1) Red bar appears at bottom of replay and all hotkeys stop working (QWER)
2) A "green circle" appeared in replay as if it was trying to load something
3) All Widgets are gone - Impossible to bring any of the widgets back, even pressing "A" for All doesn't work (obvioulsy QWER won't work either)

In all 3 scenarios, you can't even exit because the menu bar is gone and you can't use a hotkey to bring it back either. Had to end up doing ALT F4. Multiple people were in these replays with me and faced the same issues.

Also, in all 3 scenarios, the player bar is gone when watching replays (the bar at top which shows player names, minerals, supply). No hotkey works to bring it back. This might the most annoying when you're trying to watch a replay.

EDIT: Even more crazy stuff. It's almost impossible to watch a replay. Something wonky continually happens. This time, I saw the settings (like if you go to Video settings) on top of the game while the replay is going, and obviously didn't even open the settings because I can't access it to begin with. I did try restarting my computer already. Multiple people still reporting the same.

Thanks for the report, we are investigating.

Hi folks,

As you may have noticed, there has been some network instability this week (largely in Korea).

This is because, in our ongoing efforts to migrate all SCR infrastructure to modern & better environments, we encountered some headwinds with a planned date center migration in Korea. Initially we believed we could stabilize, but instead we've decided to revert that migration for now.

Ultimately, we'll want to circle back and try again once we've analyzed the unforeseen issues we encountered, because we all want SCR to be powered by best hardware and fastest pipes available.

Apologies for the disruption this week - sometimes wrangling decades old code can lead to issues that are difficult to predict!

Thanks,
Classic Games
