one thing that bugs me is the fact that older replays become obsolet with nearly every patch...
i understand that the game engine cannot play these older spr and mpr anymore because of the changes in the physics engine or else, but it is still frustating that i´m not able to watch older replays and lfs only tells me "this replay needs an older version of lfs" without telling me which version.
one workaround would be to name my replays with the version in the name, but then i still would not know wich version to use if i download someone elses replays. and i have to keep every version of lfs i ever had on my harddrive.
so please do something about the older replays, because there are literally thousands of hours of great racing just lost because we don´t know how to play them.
a seperate replay viewer is something i assume is very hard to build because of the very different physics and other stuff between, say s1h and s2z, but at least find some way to let lfs tell me what version would be needed to play the replay. maybe put a version stamp on every replay, just like the time and date. and then make every older version of lfs available with just the replay section active - so even demo users could watch every replay ever made in lfs with any track or car - without giving access to the tracks and cars themself.
this also could draw a lot of attention towards lfs - and we can make a replay database just like the setupfield or the lfs movie database.
thank you for reading...
