FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system and what hardware do I need?

A: RK was designed to work on Windows. Recommended is 'Windows 7', but older versions shouldn't cause any problmes. Hardware requirements are easily fulfilled if Warcraft III runs.

---

Can my replays get damaged when I use this program?

A: NO! Because we do not modify the original. All the modification happens in a temporal copy.

---

Can my Warcraft get damaged when I use this program?

A: NORMALLY NOT! Because a backup is created before any of the patching is done. With this backup a recovery should be no problem. But to be 100% sure, make your own Warcraft 3 backup.

---

Why do I have to run it with administrator rights?

A: On Windows 7 most of your folders require special rights to write in them. Unfortunately we have to write files when patching is required, so we need those rights.

---

RK said it was installed properly but when I watch replays it seems the program does not do anything at all!

A: Make sure you watch replays by opening the replay files (rightclick->open or double click). If you watch it ingame via View Replay RK gets bypassed and has no effect!

---

I don't trust the program at all, what if its a virus?

A: It's clean :) If you don't trust me, download the source code (it's open source), read through it and compile it yourself. But the code ain't trivial anymore...

---

How do I deinstall RK?

A: You have to delete it by hand. Removing ReplayKit.exe and the MPQ file should be enough. I don't think its worth the effort to delete the registry keys and the temporary files. But if you want to, feel free (info about all files and keys)!
