Is the save replay feature broken?

MetalMania · 05-10-09, 11:41 AM

I'm playing SH4 1.4 stock and am in a career - 1st patrol. When I end a session I can't save the replay - I see the checkbox on the screen but it won't let me do anything. Am I doing something wrong or is this feature a known bug?

The replay thing works but not very well, I think I'v only used it once a very long time ago. If I remember it right you check the replay when you start a patrol and it records everything from that time. You might give it a try on one of the quick missions.

I believe that you have to do your very first save of a situation using the option. Then you can use it from then on. If you save without the option checked, you cannot check the option for a later save of the same name. I think...

You have to save a replay at the start of a patrol and then it will let you save replays from then on. It's a bit strange I admit but that's the way it's set up.

I would suggest you try it out on a single patrol or create a secondary campaign to test it out.

I have used the replay function and it does work but it takes a bit of getting used to.

Huh, well that's kind of a pain but I'll give it a try. I was thinking of trying my hand at making a patrol movie later and using the saved replays. I'm already a screenshot junkie. Even without mods, man this game is beautiful.

Good thing I just started I guess, instead of being a month into it. Thanks!

If you don't say "save replay" it just saves position, torpedoes left, close ships, minimal damage info on those ships, damage info on your ship(alot more), and state of objectives. It does enough to pick up from there, not what's happened.
