Arena: "fame" replays don't stream in every hundred ticks if you start watching early



  • Normal rating/replay games have a nice feature where you can start watching a replay before the server has finished running the game. While you watch the replay, you see the length of the replay periodically increase by 100 ticks, as the server streams the contest to the client.

    However when you participate in a fame ladder, if you start watching a game before it is complete, the server doesn't stream any more ticks than were available at the time you started watching the replay. To see the full match, you have to leave the replay, check if the server has finished playing the match, and then start watching the replay again.
