Patch notes

Added

  • China client replays from patch 13.05 are accepted and read in full. The roster, round timeline, ability casts, spike, movement, shots, per-hit damage and economy all come back.
  • Checked against a real China client 13.05 match. Twenty-six rounds, ten players, movement at 78 Hz, 157,804 position samples all inside the map, 691 damage events each landing on a player in the match, and ammo and ability charges for everyone.

Changed

  • A China client replay from a patch valab cannot read yet is now recognised at upload and kept, with a notice saying so. It used to fail as if the file were broken.
  • The privacy page now says that a replay valab cannot read yet is kept until it can be read, and that one removed before it was read is deleted within 30 days.

Known limits

  • China client replays from other patches do not read yet. That client scrambles its replays its own way, patch by patch, and there is no date for the rest. Their replays are kept until they can be read.
