| Just tested with DeltruS a 5min then a 15 min point of a replay. Matchup was a ZvZ. |

I tested it out with another player named SilentCF. We both had the "Resume Game" button pressed and we both had the same replay selected and same start time. SilentCF's computer wasn't as good as mine or something because he lagged like crazy while the replay ran at 40x speed.
End result: We loaded 15 mins into a 20 min ZvZ on daybreak. It took around 10s after 15 mins for the lag to clear down, but after that everything ran fine and we could have continued the match.
There were no hotkeys and all the previous move commands were still active so units were running everywhere.
We tried doing a game on Shakuras but the rep broke. It might have been because we started at different start positions compared to the replay.Last edit: 2012-04-13 17:41:55 |

Ok what the fuck? This is actually huge. People have been requesting this for years. It has massive implications, not only for reconnect situations but also for training purposes. Being able to replay the same situation over and over making small alterations each time to find the most optimal response, this is incredible.
I can't believe it's apparently so simple to implement. What the fuck have Blizzard being doing all this time? |

Hopefully it will be used |

Yeah I think I encountered something similar to this in one replay. I'm not sure whether that's due to not setting up the custom game correctly (eg order of players in the player list, or who is the host) or if it's something that the author needs to correct. I also didn't think to check the hotkeys. I have no idea if that kind of information can be retrieved via this method.

No, all players need the replay and the program. It's not technically resuming, because the original game session is lost. You're just creating a new session and replicating all of the actions up to a point.Last edit: 2012-04-13 17:31:03 |

| His lag affected me at the same time, and we both could chat during the speedy replay, so does this mean that the "Watch replays with friends feature" is implemented but only for extreme speeds and single person view? Last edit: 2012-04-13 17:35:05 |

And you need as many people as were in the game and no more. It's possible that the same principle could lead to shared replay viewing, though, I think.Last edit: 2012-04-13 17:37:05 |

So basically this would allow me to play a game vs friend and then if I do 1 stupid mistake and lose because of it, I can just start from that point onwards so that I don't have to spend another 20+minutes to actually test build order?
We can just repeat some engagement like that and practice.
This needs to go on blizzard forums, so that we can hear from some GM is this considered hacking for ban and if blizzard can implement something official. |

MLG staff could have used something like this at Columbus, I am pretty sure two of the games played involved disconnects. One may have featured Grubby in one from memory in a game that could have gone either way but had to be replayed from scratch.
Good program! |

| I appreciate your effort but showing it to Blizzard or TL will not change anything, they already know how to do it, but don`t want to bother, we can`t influence (much). One thing that might pressure blizzard is showing this to tournament organizers, who tend to get bad publicity after disconnects such as GOM, MLG, IEM. If they saw how relatively easy is to implement it they could influence Blizzard to implement it, I hope. |

| Blizzard's response to this would probably be banning people that are using this because it "breaks the TOS" but really they are just using that as an excuse so they dont have to implement this and to save face. |

| Why they would not implemented it ? it would solve a lot of bash they get to not put LAN in their game and won't affect at all their business model |
