Yes, Scelight might not be able to play your old replays, but will be able to show you an incredible amount of details both on single replay level and on multi-replay level (statistics gained from multiple replays). my Scelight) that will support all old replays back to genesis, that is the launch of WoL (July 27, 2105), including even beta replays. And I'm also sure that this won't happen again.īut don't just throw away your old replays immediately, there are some tools (e.g. wowsreplay extension and are stored in the Replays folder that can be found in the root folder containing the game client. The system stores replays of the last 30 played battles in order to save hard drive space.
But I'm sure that more good will come out of it. Replays are recorded in the game by default. I too am very sad and disappointed that this happened. Just think of that Microsoft Internet Explorer has always been known to be one of the slowest browsers, but by breaking compatibility with a lot of old technologies and plugins, Microsoft's new browser, Edge became the fastest browser.īlizzard knows that this sucks, and now that they still made the decision, asking them to still add back support for old reps is just beating a dead horse in my opinion. It really helps to make the developers' work a lot easier and improve performance even by an order of magnitude in this case it might help to make the SC2 installation a lot smaller and a lot faster.
#11 It's sad that Blizzard won't support old reps, but from time to time breaking backward compatibility is the key to move forward and create things for the future.
