Since the last week, voobly is not working properly at all. Following are the issue:
1. Players dropping at launch. At least 2 people drop at launch every time. If the host drops then we have to cancel the game and restart.
2. Cannot watch recordings. We cannot fast forward recordings as the option to enable or disable spectator server has been removed. Thus the recordings cannot be fast forwarded and give a message - <Watching recording in spectator mode -- you cannot fast forward>.
3. Cannot use Spectator Overlay Mod. Unable to use the spectator overlay mod. It si disabled from the mod centre. This really decreases the quality of spectating a game and watching recordings.

Agreed. Helps us noobs learn how better players play by what upgrades they do first and in what build order(s). Now I have to lazily click on the building to see if they are upgrading. If I missed the upgrade.. lol

Just sayin'. If there is a link regarding spec overlay, please post here so we know what's going on with it. My guess is it's being updated, OR there is a bug with it and it'll be added back when bug is removed.

Anyways, was a very helpful Voobly feature.

1. < under investigation
2. < will be fixed with the next Voobly Client update
3. < is broken and we don't have the source code to fix it

damn,that really needs to be fixed! at least to be able to watch the rec game,its such a basic thing. I hope it can be recovered soon.
why is there no backup of the source code for the spec overlay mod? it always has been great to use

Guys, simply watch the recorded game through single player, it's like four more clicks you have to make.

Fast forward will then work again. This workaround works perfectly and we have more time trying to figure out the Voobly closing / Voobly crashing problem.

I tested it. same issue, didnt change at all... waiting for the update!

Please fix the fast forwarding issue in watching the recording, that is a real blocker, its impossible to watch such long games without fast forwarding.
Also, Chris, the single player menu start - still unable to fast forward.

You do this:
[You must login to view link]

... and launch. Then you load the recorded game file from inside the game. Fast forward will now work.


instead of doing this:
[You must login to view link]

Ohh Thanks this works.
That is a real good thing.

Foer those who didnt find that option, first start the single player menu and then inside there is an option 'saved and recorded games'. Launch from there.

You are welcome.

The fast foward issue when playing recording games was fixed in 2.7.5.0

Regarding the crashing issue: next time the client is crashing for you, FIRST upload the voobly.txt in your Voobly Client Installation folder BEFORE logging onto Voobly again. Thank you.
