GPG net is dead. Just discovered this on the boards while trying to log in. been gone for the last year with Star Craft 2. This game still trumps SC2.

Went ahead and started installing SupCom and FA with Steam.

A few nagging questions. My main reason for owning this game is to watch the replays. They were like damn good football games to me. I watched all different kinds but have a affinity for the ones with multiple players so I can watch teamwork as well as individual skill.

4v4 Burial Mounds.
2v2v2v2 Seraphim Glacier.
3v3 on specialty maps.

I went looking through the newly set up replay vault in one of the prior posts... and was annoyed to find the only way I could search was via a players name. Sadly when looking for replays most of the time I could care less who I was watching.

How do I look for replays by number of players or by map? Are these search functions just considered as dead now as GPGnet? And what do I do now to add all the community made maps that were played on? Some of these were just as good if not better than stock maps and required for the replays.

My guess is you are out of luck.

I like replays too and watch them frequently, especially when
I do not have time for a 1 hour setons match. Also, I still learn
from replays.

Your best option is to install FAF (www.faforever.com).
FAF is new SC-FA lobby server and many players use it.
FAF supports steam SC-FA.

Once you have FAF installed you'll find it "updates" SC-FA
to v3616.

Via FAF you can watch livereplays, via the replay tab (bottom right).
However, currently this feature is broken. I hope
and expect this will be fixed soon.

FAF also stores all replays of all games played (via FAF).
You can find the latest here:
http://faforever.com/faf/vault/replays_simple.php

You can only watch the v3616 replays otherwise you
get desyncs.

Currently replay id 2005xx to 210xxx seem to work, in other words:
not give desyncs. This may change as FAF infinitely updates/balances
this game.
You may want to use some scripting to get replay id 2005xx - 210xxx,
the url to get is:
http://faforever.com/faf/replays/${REPLAY_ID}.fafreplay

Associate *.fafreplay with faforever.exe (not with ForgedAlliance.exe)
and you should be able to watch some replays.

You can also put *.fafreplay in your faf replay folder. FAF will
then show some info about the replay if you click on replay tab.
