I can't find my replays. They aren't in the Starcraft folder but they are present in the game, leading me to believe that both saves and replays are hidden folders somewhere.

Thanks in advance for responses!

(and sorry if there's an FAQ i should be at or this is in the wrong place lol)



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

The files are most likely found here:
C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft\maps\replays

Very bizarre that they're stored at that location now. Game saves too, I imagine. Much more out of sight than before.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I noticed when I went there, it only contained files from my install of brood war from about a year ago. Some intensive searching later I arrived at Documents, and it was there in my starcraft folder, though, so I guess it did end happily

Thanks again!

(any way I should close these threads or what?)



None.

A mod can close your thread for you at your request, typically SEN just leaves them open.

Ah that's the difference between the classic bw install from CD (which has no idea how Windows 7 is gonna handle user data) and the new digital download which by default does it like Windows 7 requires: Save all user data in a folder under the user profile.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
