Replay feature is completely broken

So, for some time I’ve been trying to learn how to make short videos and such in BeamNG, everything went smoothly when creating it, but the moment I tried opening the replay again it kept bugging out.

I have no idea what is causing it. I’ve tried clearing the cache twice, with no success. Disabling mods doesn’t work either, and shouldn’t because I only used default cars. Safe mode obviously doesn’t work as I require the user folder to open a replay.

I also can’t open the replay anymore without spawning each vehicle which is in it before opening it, because the game just crashes every time I try without doing so. Yes, with all mods disabled.

Do anyone have any idea what is happening?


Edit: I was smooth brained and forgot to read the known issue list, even though I thought I did, I must’ve missed it.

 

You can also hit windows key + G it pulls up a game menu and you can record through that

 

Yes I know that, but the whole point of the replay function is so that you get different camera angles, you’ll also be able to perfect those angles by going back in time and re-recording it. Replay also let’s you use the camera trail feature.

Simply using the record function makes movie-making extremely time consuming, which it already is to start with.

 

ah ok

 

I've had the razor back car issues before on playbacks. Yes, the unfortunate thing (as I was told by the devs when I complained during the 19 > 20 update), is that once a new version has been created, any recordings you made from a previous version cannot be ported over to the new version, in replay mode, because the platform and physics is no longer exactly the same. That's why cars turn into wild looking spiked prehistoric beasts that drive down the road. Really rather dangerous and menacing looking.

But that put aside, you have just lost your playback of that scene. Take heed that when you record a scene... record it on a screen recorder from all the angles you think you will ever want to capture it from-- sooner than later-- to save for a video recording and upload. Because you never know when a new version is coming.

That's why the YouTube kings move so fast and don't let their stuff sit in the cooker for too long. I can't tell you how much fun stuff I've lost letting it sit in the cooker only to stale upon update.

EDIT: You probably alluded to this already, but I didn't realize the change in status until reading the dev-blog. My mistake:
It used to be that razor cars would form on replays of just old versions. And all replays would work after the recording session on current version.
Now replays of old versions completely crash the game, and replays of the current version only work in first (recording) session. Exiting and coming back in causes the razor car effect.

 

yes, thanks for the info.

the problem is, these were recorded in the new update. But as the devs said, replays don’t work between sessions.
