The tale of a broken replay

I met a random player in a custom battler, and he agreed to help me get a long, long range (6.94km to be exact) kill. We sat there for about 50 minutes, when I finaly hit him (Hit the top of his turret, HESH has a healthy drop). I recorded my gameplay, but the crappy recording software didn't tell me it ran out of space, while is "saved" 46 gigabytes of footage. Then backup plan (planned to include it in the video anyways) - open the replay, and record it. If that worked, you wouldn't read this post - it always crashes near the 28 minute mark, no matter what I do. It didn't run out of space (replays are tiny anyways), but it won't play. I asked the "target" to send me his replay, and guess what? It plays fine, but my location is "temporarily unknown", so it doesn't show the tracer and my tank, making it kinda difficult to record a video. Is there any way to fix the broken replay? Or is the replay even broken?
