how to disable replay?

[monty]

is it possible to prevent the game from recording the game?

IIRC there are mods that are used to desync games immediately when people are going sweaty tryhard for tournaments.

If you play private games those replays won't get added to the replay vault.

lol. what? why should we help you then?

I mean by your own admission it's not faf's responsibility?

EDIT: fair enough. I mean I myself try to have this mentality as much as possible.

thats not very nice tatsu. this sort of attitude isnt exactly encouraging towards new users.


monty - since you are not using faf, im not entirely sure how to help you. why do you need the replay disabled? the steam version doesnt have a replay vault so the only ones it saves are local to you anyway. there wont be a performance improvement if thats your concern, and no one except you will be able to see the replays anyway.

one possible solution is to get faf and then play private games - that way your replay isnt saved, as mentioned above

Because we're nice people?

What exactly is your situation? Are you just trying to disable replay saving on your own computer? Or are you playing multiplayer with someone and want to disable saving replays for all parties?

I'm pretty sure you can use the /savereplay command line switch to have it always overwrite the previous replay so you don't gain a folder full of replays that just keeps growing if that is your issue but I am not aware of how to disable it for other players.

If Exotic doesn't know either, then chances are you're out of luck there, he's pretty good with the quirks of this game.

Last option would be a sim mod that disables it. Its a variable at the game launch that tells the game to not create replays. (Its used for tutorials)

Hi monty, you can execute FA faforever directly from your HD. No replay will be recorded on FAF servers.

Go to faforever directory on your hard drive : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin

it is not clear what you mean by disabling replay. When you play without FAF there will be no replay in FAF vault. When you play with FAF, replay is being send even before the game is completed so people can watch your game even before game has ended (live replay). after that replay is saved locally and on faf servers.

If you play without FAF you need to manually press "save replay" button and choose a name for replay file, otherwise replay will be written (and re-written) in "LastGame.scfareplay" file.

If you want replay to not be written at all you will need some mod... there is no built-in functionality for that.
Why you want this? think it would increase performance? replay files are fairly small in supcom... don't think they affect performance that much...
