Can we expect a fix for the .dmx file problem in this patch as well? Also, how about having the client abandon 2 week old replay download attempts after receiving something in the neighborhood of 50,000 404 file not found errors?
I've got clients who are still trying to download 2 or 3 .dmx files from day 1 of the replay feature, 2 or 3 requests every 10 seconds, that's over 1000 an hour, times like 10 people who like to play a lot and idle. My error.log is ridiculously stupid right now, it's over 50MB of just 404 errors for .dmx files.
