Possible error messages when you click "Record Game" or "View Replay"

  • Warcraft II BNE is not running.
    Please start the game.

    War2BNE Insight can't prepare Warcraft II BNE for game recording or playback, if it's not running.
    So if you want to record a game or view a replay, run Warcraft II BNE first.

  • Unknown Warcraft II BNE version!
    Supported Versions are:
    Warcraft II BNE v2.02 (English/US American)
    Warcraft II BNE v2.02 (German)

    War2BNE InSight doesn't work with Warcraft II BNE versions other than those listed above.
    If you are sure you have one of these versions installed, please take a look at the FAQ section of this page.

  • You are running Warcraft II BNE v2.00!
    Please connect to battle.net and upgrade to v2.02.

    Do as it says. Don't upgrade manually by applying the patch that is available in the files section of www.battle.net. See why in the FAQ section.

  • Unable to determine Warcraft II BNE version!

    War2BNE InSight could not find Warcraft II BNE on your harddisk, hence it is unable to identify your version of Warcraft II BNE. This actually should never occur. If it does, please let me know.

  • Please quit your current game and enable recording,
    before you start the game.

    War2BNE InSight can't record games, that already have begun.

  • Please quit your current game and enable playback,
    before you start the replay game.

    War2BNE InSight can't playback games, when you are already playing a game.

  • Read/Write Error (Errorcode: #)!

    Your operating system didn't allow War2BNE InSight to read from or write to Warcraft II BNE's memory. You can't do much, if this happens, except the Errorcode is 4. 4 means, the part of Warcraft II BNE War2BNE InSight needs to read or change, is currently swapped out to your swap file. You can bring it back to your computer's memory by starting a game.

Possible error messages during game recording

  • You are trying to record a game with one or more computer players.
    War2BNE InSight cannot record such games.

    Remove the computer opponents, if you want to record a game.

  • Not enough memory to continue game recording.

    War2BNE InSight needs 2-3MB RAM, you might consider installing additional RAM, if this happens.

  • Read/Write Error (Errorcode: #)!

    see above

Possible error messages during game replay

  • Incorrect map (Name of the map you chose)

    You didn't choose the original game's map in the replay game. Check the replay game settings.

  • Your map (Name of the map you chose)
    does not match the map of the recorded game.

    Although you chose a map with the same name it differs from the original game's map.
    Some popular custom maps such as bgh, chop and free maps tend to exist in different versions, when players (slightly) modify the map without renaming them. You might have the wrong version of that map and you need the same version the original game has been played on.

  • Incorrect Gametype (Gametype you chose)
    Please select Gametype: Melee when you create the replay game.

    To view a replay, you always create a Melee game.

  • Incorrect Starting Location (Random)
    Please check the Fixed Order checkbox when you create the replay game.

    To view a replay, you always create a Fixed Order game.

  • Incorrect number of computer opponents (#)
    Please select "Computer" in # slots
    and leave all other slots "Open" or "Closed".

    See How to view a replay (2.) to learn how to set up the computer opponents in a replay game.

  • There are other players in the replay game.
    You cannot view a War2BNE InSight replay,
    if you are the not the only player in the replay game.

    Like in Warcraft III and unlike in Starcraft you can't let others join a replay game in order to watch it together with them.

  • The replay game differs from the original recorded game.
    This means there is a bug in War2BNE InSight. Sorry.

    War2BNE InSight permanently verifies, if the replay game matches the original game. If it differs and War2BNE InSight shows this message, please let me know.

  • Corrupt replay file.

    War2BNE InSight verifies, if a replay file contains valid replay data, when it loads the replay. So it should never show this message during replay and if it does, please let me know.

  • Not enough memory to continue game playback.

    War2BNE InSight needs 2-3MB RAM, you might consider installing additional RAM, if this happens.

  • Read/Write Error (Errorcode: #)!
