I recently cleared my desktop of all unwanted files (I had no more room on my desktop).

They were recycle bin'd and delete'd.
I did not delete any toribash files, they are all in the 2.8 folder I have on my desktop; yet when I go to open up a replay TB opens and then closes immediately after.

Help?
Is there a file I'm missing?
If so which one, and where do I get it?
Should I re-download TB 2.8?

There should be stderr.txt in the directory where you opened the replay. can you post the contents of this file ?
Thanks.

re-install 2.8 and do what stilf said =D just to be safe.

timeout to connect: WSAGetLastError 10061

That's what was in it.

I had this problem before, right click on the replay file, and go to properties>open with and select tb. If you have more than one version of Toribash on your computer, you may have the wrong version selected.

how do u download previous versions of the game
cuz 2.8 wrkx but not 3.06 so i want to try 2.8 again, any one help?

I'm sorry, but if you need an older version, search it, or make a new thread.

As to the question, I have no clue.

I don't believe there is a way of finding an official download link for earlier versions. Perhaps one of the other members will still have a copy of 2.8.

That always exists...
