Hi people, I need a help.

How can I do watch replays of games played in custom maps, while in Eastern Fronts?

I installed 3 custom maps: Saint-Quentin (2), Bishop's Crossing (2) and Martainville (2). Them I played some matches on them, using Eastern Fronts. In the game all worked fine, but after saving replays, when I go to the "playback" menu to select replay, there is no one of these replay on the list.

I tryed to install maps using GR_maps.exe (gr.org custom maps installer) and manually.

I'm sure that this issue is a Eastern Fronts particularity, as after the problem, I'v tested saving a custom map replay on vCoH and It shows on the replay list.

The replay opens normally on Dyxtra Replay Analyzer through.

Here is replay sample:

This is a good question, yesterday I was playing on a custom map and the last match replay was not available in the correct screen, but it exists outside EF... And this is something new, could be an EF bug only ????

That could explain why some users report that cannot replay recorded games.

It also occured to me when I was hunting some good screenshots on Lemberg and the replay didn't display ingame..
So I had to do everything again.

Sad, because i'm using 3 custom maps in tournament.  :-[

Any turn around or by pass that we can do to fix this and still plays these custom maps before patch?

Just a shot in the dark, won't say it will work but worth a shot I guess.

Add the SGA:ed maps to (and remove any other copy of that might possibility be loaded)
\Company of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Archives

And in Eastern_Front.module (same folder as RelicCoH.exe etc is) add the achieves similar way that the EF maps have been added.

Does it change something with the online compatibility?

It shouldn't. You may need to redo it sometimes after patches however.
