Quick tutorial. Check some explanations here:

How to Watch Replays in Reforged?

It’s not the case that some replays will load and some don’t, randomly. It’s just you can’t watch replays of past updates. You can watch replays of the current update only. To know if your replay can be played or not. Just open the game, go to replay, and seek the desired replay, if you can see the replay info on the replay panel and the green button “watch” enabled, the replay can be played by command line.

What are you guys talking about?

They enabled the replays menu but when I click on the green “Watch” button nothing happens. I need to add cmd args to make it work? WTH?

Why not disable it then? It’s left enabled just to confuse people.

I think they’re just preparing stuff for the full implementation.
