it surprises me that this hasn't come to anyone's attention yet. Replays aren't autosaved to your computer's recent replays folder anymore. instead, they are saved to the server, only the last 10 games played/observed, and you decide from there whether to keep your replays or not. I've been in a ton of games today so far, and went to my recent and only 10 show up.
Also if you look at the new "keep" button, it says they get deleted to make room for new replays.
I for one hate this, I want my replays back, I liked having every single game saved to my computer so I can look back on them whenever.
edit: you can get more of your last 25 or so replays by following what ourson did:

Yes, definitely... Give the user the option I guess. I have so much hard-drive space I don't care at all that my replays are all being saved.

Wow, so you manually have to save replays to your computer? How in the world did they think that was a good idea? Their just wasting space on their servers while making things more difficult for us.
|
Yeah, they automatically delete themselves when you don't use them... Now I always save them shit.

oh wow, nice find.
apparently only 25 are saved there though, because only my last 25 games are saved there.
anyone else confirm/deny?
|
i only saw a replay to get the achievement :p
|
24 for me but I saved one already so 25 I guess,
|
Can confirm it saves the last 25 there as I only have 25 as well. Damn have I already played that many games..? xD
|
I'm having trouble watching some reps i downloaded from roach reps even though they say july 8th o_O
does anyone have fix?
|
Why in the world isn't this a setting in the Options Menu??
|
yup, i noticed this yesterday, very stupid imo
|
I don't think its a bad idea for 90% of people who don't care too much about every replay. In most games, if you want extra information stored on your computer you have to specify that. This is just preventing the thousands of games people will play from automatically filling up your harddrive. Also consider that 99% of people will only use replays to watch the game once. For tournament games or pro games, they will just have to hit save and name it (so it kinda saves them from renaming it later.)
|
The best part about this is you can finnally rename the replays when you save them
|
i guess they're really clutching for straws with bnet improvements now, saving replays on bnet, its like they're trying to say LOOK BNET IS AWESOME IT KEEPS YOUR REPLAYS, but they just made it worse and broke a perfectly good system.

auto replay save should be an option you can turn on or off, and it should be on by default. Replays are so small no one is going to care if they accidentally have a few hundred of them saved on their comp.

Replays take up maybe 100kb at most. I don't think it would be too hard of a thing to implement an option to turn on autosave...

at 50kb/replay ... yuo can get ~20/meg ... that's 5,000 replays per 100GB, at 20mins/replay that's 1,667 hours of starcraft or .2years of playime.
The more you know! (not sure of the exact time/size ratio ... but close enough)

Its not a big deal to me, 10 replays is plenty to decide if you want to save it or not. Personally i only got 230gb on my computer (its a laptop). I dont want to have to through and delete replays, id rather have it be somehwere between 10-100
|
I think it's the right move, as the default. Most people will not ever look at their replays, or not very often, and having them grow unfettered isn't a very good option. I just wish there was a config file option somewhere to disable this (UI isn't feasible either, because if there's a knob, people will turn it).
