I checked an expert rec and he had lots of idle villagers, he didn't even advance to classical in the 30 minutes or so that he was playing, also the opposition was that same, weird. Also two icons popped up in the icon information box in the bottom menu. One was called "generic corpse" and had a little linear icon and all stats were 0, the other icon looked like runestones and didn't have a name but had all stats as 0 too. I took screenshots of each.

I guess other people have come across something like this?

Its just a bug you encounter once in a while.

This hasn't happened before with my rec games and it affects all the rec games but only since i got 1.07.

I found this fairly previous topic - http://aom.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=1,15420,30,10 maybe it's the same thing?

No, sadly this is a new problem we introduced in 1.07 (argh). The good news is that it shouldn't affect any newly made record games. The bad news, of course, is that you can't watch them with 1.06.

If you still have the 1.06 executable (or you uninstall and install the 1.06 manual patch) those record games should still work. If you then just make a copy of that executable, you can patch to 1.07 as normal.

Is there no other option to look at the old recs other then using patch 6? Will it be fixed in the future along with the other bugs?

Also what is this generic corpse?

I think that 1.07 is the last patch for AoM (not TT)

I think it was planned to be, but there seems to be a lot of bugs so maybe they'll make a patch 1.07b or something.

It shouldn't be long i don't think for the bugs to be removed, probably only a few days, but that's what i'm assuming.

Yeah, I definitely want to try and fix this, but unfortunately releasing a patch is a complex process -- we really do spend a lot of time in QA for each patch if even sometimes we get blindsided by some things as you can tell...

Once we found the problem it didn't take me long to track it down in the code, but the process is not quite as simple as just recompiling it and posting it.

Well as long as you know about the situation that's fine

This looks to be a system problem of how patching works... ES makes a new patch and even though they test as much as they can one or another bug is not caught by the QA team so the community gets angry cause with the new patch they have some problems and they cannot play since in order to play on the official server they need to be with the latest patch.

What if somehow instead of replacing the old patch with the new one the old executables were kept somewhere in the game directory so that you could pick to play with an specific patch version? At least by IP this could be a good workaround when new bugs are found in the latest patch.

too bad my friend doesn't work for ES anymore..he was the QA for the initial AOM :P

edit to add: weird thing is i just watched PG_Fire vs CDT3 game and the record played flawlessly...strange since i'm sure it's a pre 1.07 game

Some games are more drastic then others, on one game i saw there was only the odd villager.
