      So are old replays (older than 1 year) just gone? I was hoping the problem was temporary, but it has been quite a while now. If they are, this is a big deal imo. There is a lot of FAF history in those older replays and a lot to learn for 2024 players trying to become better at the game. Any way to still access them?

        I thought replays had a tendency to break when game updates were released since they're all sim-based so older ones weren't really worth keeping around?

          Could be, but not that long ago you could at least watch replays from a few years back. I wonder if installing an older version of the client could perhaps be a work around?

            FAF would patch your game to play old videos. It doesn't now? I'd be VERY SAD to miss this feature!!!

              AFAIK old replays are on a separate hard drive but they are not accessible through the client nor API

                Yes, they are on a separate network drive at Getzner and everytime it loses connection (which happens a lot), our server cannot remount it for some reason.
