            When i type in the following into the console:
            "playdemo replays/86805777_1716649561.dem.bz2"

            I get the following error:
            "] playdemo replays/86805777_1716649561.dem.bz2
            ReadDemoHeader: replays/86805777_1716649561.dem.bz2 has invalid demo header ID.
            Failed to read demo header."

            86805777_1716649561.dem.bz2 is the file that I downloaded from DotaBuff. ("https://dotabuff.com/matches/86805777" is the link to the replay)

            I have placed the file into the (i believe) correct path (E:\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\replays), and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out here. Thank you in advance :)

              I managed.. I did not know that "...bz2" is a file archive format, and that the content needed to be extracted. Simply extract the content using a program such as WinRAR or 7zip, and use the beforementioned command in the console. It works, thank you :)

                @XcyTheR_za I had the exact same problem just now, and your solution helped me. Thank you so much for actually posting again when you figured it out!

                      When i try to watch a game on my work, it gives me the error that the right program is not installed.
                      Is this reffering to steam or dota itself? wich program must i install to be able to watch games

                        You watch games through rhe dota 2 client. The game. Only the game can generate all the...well...game.

                        Install dota 2. Load dota 2. Click watch. Click downloaded. Match details. Watch replay.
