A replay is a file, containing any information needed to repeat (replay) a game from start. They are a "by-product" of Determinism and Multiplayer.


Stability

  • They did not work reliably for a long time. This should be solved with the determinism bugfixes of v0.11.x releases.

Prerequisites

  • You need to download all the mods (with the same version) the player used.
  • If you add or remove a mod to/from an existing save, the replay will be disabled.
  • Replays have/had a huge size (much decreased with the v0.11.5 release).

In comparison to videos

  • There aren't any comments in a replay and that is the part of the videos you will learn the most from
  • Do you really want to watch replays of games with 50h and more?
