Maybe the replays section should have a link at the top to an article about how to watch replays? Especially with all the new people it might be helpful to have that information right where people are likely going to want it.

Jup, would be good. I played a lot of CoH1 but still couldn't find the replay folder for 5 mins because I was totally out of it for several years.
Someone less experienced with PC gaming probably won't find it at all.

Wanna write it, Tycho? ;)

We could make it a Guide and put a link to it somewhere in the replay section.

Why yes I'd like to write it.

Does this make me officially a writer for CoH2.org?




To watch a replay, you have to download it, put it in your replay folder, and then load it up in Company of Heroes 2.

To download a replay, click on the download button, either in the list of replays or while looking at the replay’s page.

Place your replay in the following folder:
My Documents\my games\Company of Heroes 2\playback

To save time you may wish to make a shortcut to this folder so that you can save downloaded replays directly to it.

Finally, load up Company of Heroes, click on the Replays button, and find the replay you downloaded.

Don't forget to Honor replays that you enjoy watching! Honoring replays helps the community find the best replays and it encourages players to post their best games.

Replays for previous versions of the game will not run correctly, so make sure you check the version number before downloading.

That's a great start. Would you like to be a Writer? Or perhaps Caster is more fitting for you? Either way pls pm me if you're interested. It would be easier to continue to work on this in the staff forums.
