Now that Relic has begun filtering viewable replays by game version in the in-game replays view, you can no longer load replays from old patches. This is good in most cases, because new patches generally change unit statistics in such a way that old replays will throw sync errors when viewed in a new game version. However, in some cases, such as the recent hotfix to correct a major bug, no actual game files are touched. And even though the game version has changed and therefore games played on the previous patch will not appear in the in-game menu, they can actually still be viewed.It's fairly easy to trick the system into allowing us to view these older replays; all we have to do is modify the version in the replay file to match the current version and the replays will appear. This is extremely simple to do in a hex editor, but because not everybody has the knowledge or desire to fiddle with things that way themselves, I figured I'd throw together an extremely simple application that can do the same thing for you.Now, before you download and try it out, understand that this is, in its current form, an extremely basic program with extremely limited utility. It will convert any replay from the previous 3.0.0.10242 patch into a 3.0.0.10317 replay that can be viewed in the current version of the game. It will successfully convert old replays as well; however, those replaysfunction correctly when viewed in this game version and will give you an error.The conversion process is simple, just select a replay and hit convert. The application will create a new [FILENAME]_converted.rec file in the same directory as the original and modify that file so that it will appear in the replays menu. Once converted, the replay can be viewed in-game.As always, use of this program is at your own risk; I assume no responsibility nor liability for any damages suffered as a result of this program's use. If you don't trust downloading .exe files, you can find the source at the Github link below. Check back regularly, I plan on implementing a more robust feature set if demand is high enough and I find the time.Hopefully this helps some people out there who want to watch replays that were removed by the recent hotfix. If you find any issues, please post them here.Changelogv0.13b------------- Converted replays are now saved in the same directory as the original- File dialog now defaults to previously used directoryv0.12b------------- Updated for 3.0.0.10416v0.11b------------- Fixed unhandled exception, streamlined workflowv0.1b------------Initial beta release- Converts 3.0.0.10242 replays to 3.0.0.10317 replays
