I want to watch replays in my mac m2 (arch64) using Warcraft app downloaded from web.
I switched on automatic replay saving and can see it under ~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays/Autosaved
I moved downloaded replays at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays. However, I don’t see anything in Warcraft, only LastReplay.
I tried to change permissions to be the same as for LastReplay, but didn’t help
I tried to manually create a folder under Documents and copied all the *.w3g files there - it didn’t help.
~ find ~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays -name "*.w3g"
~/Library/Application Support/Warcraft III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays/SimmonsCcTidehunters.w3g
~/Library/Application Support/Warcraft III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays/Autosaved/Multiplayer/Replay_2024_07_15_1417.w3g
I also tried everything that ChatGPT suggested.
I made sure my downloaded files have correct permissions and ownership:
chmod 644 *.w3g
chown $(whoami) *.w3g
I copied the replays in all folders that in my opinion could be used by the game:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays
~/Library/Application\ Support/Blizzard/Warcraft\ III/Movies
~/Library/Application\ Support/Blizzard/Warcraft\ III/Maps
~/Documents/Warcraft\ III/BattleNet/1169780110/Replays
~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/Replay
~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/Replays
~/Library/Application\ Support/Warcraft\ III/CustomMaps
I also made sure I have the latest WC3 version and the replay is today’s, so no versions incompatibility should be involved.
Cleaning up the only related cache I found also didn’t help
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Battle.net/Cache
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Battle.net/BrowserCaches
And I din’t find any related Errors or Warning, only something related to a deprecated component
grep -Hrn "Warning|Error" ~/Library/Application\ Support/Battle.net/Logs
Any more ideas?
