Is it possible to watch replays from previous patches somehow? I remember having a really good replay from I while ago but can't see it in-game.

There was a tool which allowed to watch previous replays, but it is very unreliable.

You have to understand that CoH2 replays are not "movies" but all the stuff that happened in the game.

For example a CoH2 replay looks somehow like this:


Player 1 builds grenadier squad
Grenadier moves to direction x192.918, y218.187
Grenadier shoots at Rifle Squad
Player 1 Model_81 hits Player 2 Model_12


and so so... and the game then just recreates everything that happened.
This becomes a problem when things are changed in patches, because maybe before the patch, a gren model did 10 damage, while after the patch it does 5. So in the replay a model hits the other one 4 times, doing 40 damage (pre patch) or 20 damage (post patch). In one case the enemy model dies, in the other it does not.

It would then cause a syncronisation error and be unable to continue.

So if a patch does NOT change any game stats, pre patch replays could be replayed. In any other cases it would technically not be possible.
