Watch a saved game?
Hi,
I bought C&C RC from Steam.
So I start it and pick Red Alert.
I choose Skirmish and a map: me against two AI.
I save the game now and then during the match.
Now, I would like to rewatch it.
But how?
I click Replay/Observer and then Local, but it is not there.
I click Load Game, and there it is! I can read that it took me 90 minutes to complete the game, but when I load it, it starts from the last save, basically when there was only one not destroyed building left.
I want to look at it from the beginning...
Is that possible?
Anyone? I am lost.
- @krullapa Uhh. That's a weird way of putting it. A "replay" is a recording of actions in the game that can be "replayed". But yes, it only works for one continuously played game.
To the game engine, loading a game is identical to starting a new game; the only difference is that the starting situation is loaded from a savegame rather than from a mission file or from a map with a set of multiplayer spawn settings. The replay function only records the last played "game". It's that simple.
Honestly I'm surprised this feature works for skirmish games at all.
