Replay System

  • Save your matches and watch them from any angle!
  • Speed up or slow down the action.

  • Several Camera Modes to choose from:
    • Third Person
      • Follows and orbits around the selected player.
      • 3 different follow modes; Off, Auto, Lazy.
    • Drone Follow
      • Camera that always keeps the selected player in frame.
    • Drone Attach
      • Camera that is loosely attached to the selected player.
    • Drone Free
      • Drone style camera that is free to fly around the island.
    • Gameplay
      • This camera shows what the selected player saw during gameplay.
    • Adjust cinematic camera settings
      • Exposure
      • Aperture
      • Focal Length
      • Focus Distance

Now the problem is the replay videos are getting saved in .replay format, which is not an actual video format. The .replay files do not contain video information. They contain game data. So we cannot directly convert them into .mp4 or other video formats.

You need to use Third Party recording software to record the replay footage. Screen recording applications like Fraps, OBS and even GeForce Experience would solve the problem pretty easily.
