Lost replays

[Wolfie]

My replays from 3 years ago are gone, only 1 year back showing... wtf?

Suddenly or did you just check the replays?
I mean, 3 years is a long time. Windows reinstall or something?

Yeah I reinstalled it recently but only 2 months ago. My replays go back to 1 year.

I used to have replays going back to 2016...

Backup your important files is always a good idea. :p
You didn´t really in trust with that ♥♥♥♥ Unreal Engine ? Or that bad programming of RL ?
You can get MY demo files from the last 3 years.

Could it be that your steam cloud was full and didn't backup all replays?

No replays will save in the cloud. All are saved to the local disk. But, that is ur chance.
Try to get back the lost files by programs like RECUVA. Search for it. This program will save deleted files if they are not be overwritten. So don´t save replays again until you get the lost one back.

Well, that's interesting because I still got replays dating back to 2015 in my steam cloud, leaving only 1.04MB of free cloud space. They are definately being backed up and there definately is limited storage space.

Neither of them seems to be relevant here. No matter how much you dislike a certain engine or studio, RL has no history of randomly removing certain replays as fas as I know. Users not properly backing up data and relying on the steam cloud on the other hand is a common source of such problems.

Recovering files from an overwritten partition after two months of usage usually has pretty low chances of success. Saving new replays is not the real problem, any data that gets written to the disk is. It's worth a try but I'm afraid the replays are lost forever :(

Ahh, i see. My fault . Didn´t expect that Steam will save the replays too to the cloud because of the file size. I test it, Deleted the Demo-Folder and it comes back on start the game but ... not all files are rewritten. Lost 30 files. No matter because i backed the folder first before deleting.

So it will still be a good idea to backup the demos local and not trust only in the cloud.

I think they only started saving to the cloud 1 years ago, hence mine do not go back beyond that. I lost the local ones when I reinstalled Windows a month ago.
