All of us enjoying Broken Arrow, developers included, sometimes want to watch a match again: whether to review our own mistakes, put together some highlights, or check if an opponent was playing fair. However, due to limitations in the project's infrastructure, implementing a replay system simply wasn't possible at first.⠀The same applied to single-player content. For much the same reasons, one very important feature had long been missing from the campaign and scenarios: the ability to save your progress.⠀Over the past year, we've done a huge amount of work to lay the technical groundwork for adding both systems. And now, we're finally ready to walk you through how replays and saves will work. Previously, we covered community-made resources that allowed players to view statistics from completed matches. Soon, similar functionality will also be available directly in the game, under the Match History tab. Alongside a list of your own matches, you'll also be able to search for almost any match played by other players. All you'll need is the nickname of one of the players or the FightID itself. Once you've found the one you're looking for, you can either open its results screen or download the replay from the server and start watching it straight away. All downloaded replays are stored locally in your game client folder and can be accessed in the second tab, Replays. For reference, the files themselves are quite small, taking up no more than a couple of megabytes. Each replay will take some time to process on the server before it becomes available in Match History. Once it's…
