Old recordings

 yomanchillout

I have recordings from 2015-2017 that I wanted to watch but either the following happens:

1. "Old recorded game" cannot be loaded.
2. The recording crashes my game and I have to relaunch from voobly.
3. Sometimes it will work but it will pause at a certain time within the recording.

I have loaded with the correct modification. Does #1 and #2 happen because if the new update to Voobly? What was running in 2015-2017?

Does anyone know how to deal with each of these 3 cases?

You must use the proper patch and game mods used, if you want to replay old recordings.

Do you know where I can find the patch used in 2015-2017?

Most likely patch during that period was 1.4 RC : https://www.voobly.com/gamemods/mod/114/v14-RC

If that does not work you can try other Patches from here : https://www.voobly.com/games/view/Age-of-Empires-II-The-Conquerors/Game-Mods/gamemods/browse2/13/3

You need the exact same mods and patch...
I don't even try this anymore because there is always something not exactly the same...

Is someone able to find out how to determine the mods for each recording? It would really suck to not be able to recover these recordings. There are some posted on [You must login to view link] that are still remarkable.

Most likely you try this with patch 1.4 RC and the mod Allied Vision, that should work for 90% of the games.

i attached you a copy of my age2_x1 folder that has exe with patch selector that includes 1.0c, 1.3, and 1.4RC, there's also a separate exe for userpatch 1.5

before you copy and paste the folder go to your game directory and rename your default age2_x1 folder to age2_x1_default so you have a way to get back to the default stuff whenever you want by renaming it back

also here's a tip that is probably not relevant to your question but it doesn't hurt to know it, if you want to play recorded maps that use a data mod that is different from default data mod you need to change the empires2_x1_p1 file in DATA folder with the one from the data mod, use the same renaming technique

Can you test with a sample recording I can provide you with? Isey and I tried with no success.
