Replay?

**EBF** · 02-16-12, 12:55 AM

Was replay turned off because that was what was causing the server to lag? Or was it turned off for other reasons? I know it had been on pretty recently, since I take replays somewhat regularly.

I tried to kritz someone as RED on 3rd round goldrush, and that person died, so instead I kritzed the next closest person, who happened to be such much? as medic. He then proceeded to kill three people with kritz needles, which earned us both the Consultation achievement: "Assist a fellow Medic in killing 3 enemies in a single life." I was highly amused and then sad to discover that replay was gone.

I'm also just curious: are registered "Play Now!" servers required to have the replay bot?

No, Valve servers don't even have replay enabled.

Last I heard was one of the maps had a problem with replay bot moving further and further away from the map as some form of spectator and throwing off errors, causing lag. However, I have seen replay enabled since then so the the replay bot may have just dropped for that map from some kind of error.

I still get errors everytime I try to save a replay. I thought they fixed it a few weeks ago, but the errors came back

the servers didn't lag last night like they have been the past 3 days, so what ever you did it work last night.

Yea, that's why I was wondering if replay was turned off because it was the source of the lag. Although the one time that there was lag, the server was fine after it was restarted. I guess we'll see!

Maybe the replay bot was watching game play that was so awful it was trying to escape to another server
