- Fixed another bug that caused Mac replay renders to be blurry
- Fixed a bug where Replay FTP offloading was not using “replay_fileserver_offload_port”

- Replay is automatically disabled on servers if the Replay publish test fails
- Saved Replay movies that were exported as TGA’s/WAV will report more descriptive errors if YouTube(TM) upload or “Export” is attempted
Unfortunately the messed up max_playercount this time, so RCON will show 25 players on our 24 player servers. Also increased_playercount is set in the sv_tags. Will they get it right next time?
