Older Version Replays

[Lawlzer]

Any way to view them? I presume not, but might as well ask ;D

If your game is updated and you have a replay that was made before the update, the replay isn't viewable anymore due to changes made in the new update

[Lychee]

Once the game updates, any replays prior to that update become unplayable, so no.

I recommend backing up any replays you might find interesting after the match or as soon as possible since you never know when the game will get an update. Just in case you ever end up needing one of them and the game was updated without you knowing.

Imagine if someone managed to gather each individual version of Brawlhalla, we could replace the Brawlhalla folder with a version that makes an older replay viewable.

I dont know how complex or time consuming it would be to do so but i feel that this far down the line of the games life we should already have the ability to view replays even from older versions.

Yeah, or if instead of a .replay file, you could "opt" into having it give you a .mp4 or whatever file, having it be a thing you "opt" into due to longer file sizes.

To be honest that seems like it would be more of a chore and an inconvenience than anything, even if you opt into it. The size would be enormous. If you play a match that you really really want to keep, you should just record it right away.
Otherwise backup your Brawlhalla before each update.

True, but I lag when I record, and I get videos that look like this..

So then I need to have someone else record for me, so I have to save the replay, send it to them, have them record, and then have to have them send it back ;(

Are you using OBS/OBS Studio?

Yeah, I checked encoding and stuff too, if I turn it down the quality goes to ♥♥♥♥ xD

Press F7 to pause the replay in game, open OBS and start recording and minimize OBS completely. Alt tab back in the game and press F7.

I have the same issue, my computer is butt so my frames drop like crazy when recording. Minimizing my OBS while it's recording helps significantly.

Try bandicam my computer is really bad so I still get fps lag on it but if I try OBS it looks like my character is teleporting.

Intel Q8300 Quad Core CPU, GT - 310 GPU (2011 Hardware)
I’ve managed to record a steady 720p with 60fps just fine with Fraps. You'll probably be like "why is this guy using Fraps in 2017" It's honestly the best light weight recording program that’s good for older CPU's. I've tried Bandicam, OBS, CAMStudio. the only downside is that it exports it as .avi which is like 30MB per second. I use Handbreak to compress it to .mp4 without losing quality. 700MB to 40MB. It's my most comfortable way so far with this hardware in my experience.

The video below from PruglePin shows how to downgrade your Brawlhalla version using steam's repos so you can access the replays for that version
