Replay feature Broken
Has anyone else noticed the replay feature is completely broken? Any MP tracks crashes the game, and its the same for all of my friends. Ideas? How do we get this fixed?

Do you run single thread or multi thread version of game?

We just flew a group mission yesterday and the MP track file worked just fine. However, I had a few that just crashed the game as well this month. Definitely hit or miss, but seems to work better than in the yesteryear... When it works.

Track replay success has improved recently, however some missions are heavily scripted or use external scripting calls that can not be used in the replay. Some replays may not play back correctly, or be broken between different DCS versions. Overall the track replays work well for the purpose they were intended which was for debug.
We do plan improvements for the track replay system in the future but it will depend on free dev resources. We will let you all know when we make any changes.

thank you

Hi bignewey.....

It appears to me that ED is simply missing the big advantage of having an excellent replay system that can save a replay file that can be loaded into a video editing suite?

That advantage I'm talking about is product promotion that can be uploaded to YouTube or the like.
It is much much harder to create good mission or campaign video's when we can't access the scene we want inside or outside of the cockpit to insert into a video we want to create for uploading to YouTube.
The benefits of having very good promo vids on YouTube would be a massive advantage to ED's balance books and ED should realise the huge potential by developing an excellent video replay system for DCS World that makes it SO much easier for users to create good promo video's without being restricted by a currently poor replay feature we have in DCS.

Just my thoughts and why I think ED should take this subject a lot more seriously in my opinion.
