So, pretty much (almost) every game I've downloaded here - the ones in the AoM:EE forum, to be clear (if you don't trust me, and I might be dumb so let's double check, this is the link where I'm downloading: http://www.rts-sanctuary.com/Age-Of-Mythology/showforum=493) - return the "Record game is invalid" error. What seems most odd is that this game (Luyindula vs MMC_StarSky on Mediterran) works fine, as well as some other MMC_StarSky's games, but most of the others don't. This other game (
MMC_StarSky vs EEL_Hagrit on Savannah) also works fine, while being uploaded a month ago. Other games, even more recent ones (like every game uploaded by Giovan or simtom in the first page) don't work though.

Some of Luyindula's games are moded, so it's understandable why it doesn't work (it even returns a different error message - out of synch - instead of invalid record), but every other that I've tried (and those were LOTS) simply won't work.

Any ideas (or solutions :P) on why it's happening?

Things I've tried and didn't work:
- Reinstalling the game.
- Changing the name of the file for a shorter version (or simply a random name).
- Crying and trying again in the next day.
- TRYING A DIFFERENT COMPUTER.

I'm using the Steam version, I'm running as a ADM (not that it should matter, as some games work, just the majority won't).

Note: I'm not sure it's a "technical issue" since it's a recorded games issue, not exactly a game issue, but it still seems a better subforum to post than the general discussion. If I'm wrong please move it or tell me if that's not possible.

You probably need this mapset to watch some of those games:

A lot of the times some mod is used, unfortunately not everyone puts that information into the rec upload, so either try asking in the topic, or have a guess - lately afaik the popular mods are the mapset mentioned by GoldenAxe (used for a tournament, which comprises a lot of the games from about a month ago) and balance mod from Hagrit&Co.

Otherwise also look at your own mods if you have some - if they're touching something important, you might need to disable them, too - simply the game data you're launching with needs to be the same as of the rec.

The mapset solved it. Thanks for the help :)

As a suggestion, I would put that info in the threads or somewhere else that's easy to find. It's probably a newbie problem, but letting things clear is never bad I guess.
