game replays

Post by FrankJones »

I am surprised I have not yet seen a new topic post about this issue.

Does anyone know what is going on with game replays? For some games, they are not working at all. For other games, they do work. There does not appear to be anything consistent about this bug.

What does "some games" mean? Are games like "Splendor replays work but Ticket to Ride don't" or "my last game replay works but the one before that doesn't"? What happens with replays that don't work?

For some games, such as Terraforming Mars, I cannot seem to watch any replays.

For a different game, Aquatica, sometimes the replay is viewable and sometimes not.

And what was the effect when the replay does not work !?

Two possible results:

1) An error appears on an otherwise blank screen saying "This page cannot be opened in a frame", or
2) The replay goes immediately to the end-game screen, making replay viewing impossible.

Look on bugs for BGA and search with "Forbidden" word, you will find several bugs about replay already opened. :roll:
They are fixed but several players said that the problem is alive :shock:

Recent replays are completely broken and nothing has been done to fix it. Let's take this game as an example (2 days old): https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=894452718

Click View Replay and choose a POV: https://boardgamearena.com/archive/repl ... &comments=

It immediately redirects to https://boardgamearena.com/tableview?table=894452718 which shows a goofy error message

It's only happening on new replays, old replays work fine. Any chance BGA is going to do something about this?

They claim to have fixed it already, which obviously is not the case. Some replays work; others do not. It's puzzling.

I wonder if this depends on when the game was started?

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)

Seems like it's recent replays only. The 2 day old one didn't work, but this one from ~4 days ago does work:

https://boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=893365644

I would imagine all replays older than around that works just as normal.
