Once converted, the replay can be viewed in-game.Īs always, use of this program is at your own risk I assume no responsibility nor liability for any damages suffered as a result of this program's use. The application will create a new _converted.rec file in the same directory as the original and modify that file so that it will appear in the replays menu. The conversion process is simple, just select a replay and hit convert. It will successfully convert old replays as well however, those replays will not function correctly when viewed in this game version and will give you an error. It will convert any replay from the previous 3.2 patch into a 3.7 replay that can be viewed in the current version of the game. Now, before you download and try it out, understand that this is, in its current form, an extremely basic program with extremely limited utility. This is extremely simple to do in a hex editor, but because not everybody has the knowledge or desire to fiddle with things that way themselves, I figured I'd throw together an extremely simple application that can do the same thing for you. It's fairly easy to trick the system into allowing us to view these older replays all we have to do is modify the version in the replay file to match the current version and the replays will appear. And even though the game version has changed and therefore games played on the previous patch will not appear in the in-game menu, they can actually still be viewed. However, in some cases, such as the recent hotfix to correct a major bug, no actual game files are touched. This is good in most cases, because new patches generally change unit statistics in such a way that old replays will throw sync errors when viewed in a new game version. Now that Relic has begun filtering viewable replays by game version in the in-game replays view, you can no longer load replays from old patches.
