Re: Update on the Next Patch
I just read this, and already shared it...
Re: Update on the Next Patch
Yeah, I posted it as a forum item then figured I'd make it a news item since we haven't posted anything recently.
Replay was a complete pain in the butt! For months I was the only one that could use it without crashing and we could not figure out why. We tried everything. No success. We just sat on it, hoping for divine inspiration. Jim finally got sick of that and attacked it with a vengeance. Then the divine inspiration happened and I got his ini file and used that. Seems I was the only one that didn't have autosave enabled and that was causing a crash during replay. It's always the simple solutions duh!

Re: Update on the Next Patch
Oh I bet, that wouldn't be something small to get working. Will you be able to post this as an AAR video of some sort? What I mean is will it export out as something that can be uploaded, and shared just by uploading it to this forum?Yeah, I posted it as a forum item then figured I'd make it a news item since we haven't posted anything recently.

Will there be an external player to play the AAR's? Would it be possible for folks to play the uploaded AAR's via a built in website player (java, etc)?
Oh, also I just passed the info out on all the BBS's. I know some people out there will be looking forward to the next patch as well.

Re: Update on the Next Patch
@mike, it would be a file like a savegame, that you can watch in game by loading it. It would record the orders given, and then run the game executing those same orders.
It wouldn't be a video file directly, though of course you could watch it game and take video of it then.

Okay I see what your saying Garnier.@mike, it would be a file like a savegame, that you can watch in game by loading it. It would record the orders given, and then run the game executing those same orders.
It wouldn't be a video file directly, though of course you could watch it game and take video of it then.
So it would be similar to the modifications menu where you can load up a replay that you, or someone else has made.
Do you know if there will be an option to jump in at any point in the replay to play the rest of the game?
Thanks Garnier.

Re: Update on the Next Patch
I highly doubt that would be practical, but it's quite possible there would be a speed-up button like in singleplayer so you can watch the replay faster.Do you know if there will be an option to jump in at any point in the replay to play the rest of the game?

Re: Update on the Next Patch
Are we close yet:)
Are we talking days, weeks, months away for release?
Looking forward to it.

Re: Update on the Next Patch
Grim.Reaper - I would say months. We are close, but right now we are in serious test mode for the patch... It will be released just prior to the next expansion, which is still a ways away.
