:play_button: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: #133431
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Some recorded games get wrongly assigned their name with rec.aoe2record instead of the default string, i.e. “MP Replay v101.103.2359.0 @2025.03.24 221640 (8).aoe2record”. When the bug happens for the second time, the old rec.aoe2record gets overwritten and the local recorded game is lost.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • Less than 25% of the time / matches I play (RARELY)

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Every recorded game should be assigned with it’s proper unique string and none should be lost.

@devs, any work on this bug?

3

Do you have this issue in both single player and multiplayer?

4

I only play multiplayer, I don’t know if this happens to single player too.

5

I noticed sometimes the recorded game file gets locked while the game is open, that could be the reason why it fails to be renamed.

6

I just tested, it happens also on single player.
