[@Evoleo]

Bro why do you mislead people like this with the video? Singleplayer games are not the same fundamentally as online multiplayer, in fact they work completely differently, it's much more complicated than just recording and saving to a fukin JSON Not to mention the sheer scale of matches being played every single day with the game being a real-time shooter and running at 100+ ticks per second, JUST storing and keeping all the replays somewhere would take ridiculous amounts of data (clever optimizations have to be made to the format for it to even make sense to run at all)

[@Evoleo]

As a game developer working with online multiplayer for several years now, this title and video were mildly infuriating to me ngl

[@ThatCarrotFella]

@@Evoleo Yes but I was showing in this video how replay systems are made and to have a jab at Riot for not caring about their community. With some tweaks then this could also work in multiplayer. And space is also an issue that's why console fortnite only allows I think the past 5 played game to be stored. It's a simple method of optimising space but definitely works. Sorry if It looked like I was misleading people, I was not trying to but this is exactly how a replay system CAN work and how a lot of games do it.

[@Evoleo]

Nothing personal but I honestly wish you never get paid for KZbin if you continue to make these misleading populist videos where you manipulate facts and shit on and undermine people's work just to look better Nothing bad in implementing a replay system and making a video about it, it can be cool even, but then proceeding to seriously call people at riot lazy for not doing it for their game and double down on it, that's just beyond fucked up and stupid if you know anything about programming and netcode It's like coding a clone of KZbin with 10 videos that runs locally on your computer and then calling Google lazy because their website load times are slower Outright hysterical

That's how easy it is in an offline environment. You're forgetting a big component, which is network latency. Syncing it to look correct from the server recording point of view may be difficult. They already have all of that timestamp data when events happen because of this. Players' exact aim may not look correct, though, in a replay, which would be a massive issue to tackle for a game where aim means everything. If they release it without that feature, people will thinks its cheap or bad, which may be worse than just not having it. Not to dis your work, though. It actually turned out pretty good 👍 As a game dev myself, I just feel it's important to recognize that things appear easier than they really are to the average player. Lots go into these things, and when you already have a high-quality bar like they have, any new features need to meet that bar before they get added.

[@caden5936]

Ik this comment is old but that really wouldn't be an issue, the replay system could just record each event for each player locally, rather than on the server.

i'm glad you made something like this but however, the issue is way more complicated than you think, you see, you made a Replay system for a singleplayer game, however, Valorant is a multiplayer game made in UE4 with custom netcode, i've read their technical articles about their netcode and i've guessed why it's pretty hard for them to have a replay system: 1. valorant's custom netcode that is optimized for performance, where it can can run in 128 tick and cost where the servercan run multiple games in multiple instances concurrently on a single CPU which introduces context switching, this probably made it hard to record each game perfectly. 2. valorant is relying heavily on client-side prediction, due to this the replay system needs to account for client side prediction. why is netcode relevant? because multiplayer games work differently from singleplayer games, singleplayer games are simulated in the client, multiplayer games are simulated in the server (backend) , it sends packets called ticks to the client (frontend) so most game logic are located in the backend. to create a Replay System, the server of multiplayer games usually record the ticks and save them to a file for the client to resimulate each events happening in the game. it's not impossible but creating a replay system for a multiplayer game is harder than you think

[@chrisnguyen6734]

There’s also an interview with Leo Faria on platchat where Leo says they are working on it but they are having issues with storage or something, I don’t remember But I definitely believe they aren’t just being lazy but instead have issues that are unique to their specific code base. Obv replay system is possible and has been done in other FPS multiplayer games, but we aren’t privy to how Valorant’s code base is set up, and a fuck up early in production that isn’t addressed until years later is very difficult to refactor once the code base gets so huge And that’s on top of all the complexities that making a multiplayer game comes with

r6s, cs, rocket league, smite, lol, dota 2, fortnite and i'm sure many other games all have a replay system. The excuse of "it's hard" isn't exactly a good one when it's in almost any seriously competitive video game. I'm sure it's complicated to implement but for a game that was released in 2020 it definitely falls far below expectations.

[@oisin2696]

​@TheFormerTeam The problem is that most of those games have servers with a 32 tick rate, cs2 has 64/128 tick rate but down size replays to 32, now I don't know why Valorant can't down size replays to 32 tick but I'd assume something breaks if they do.

I don't think it's because they are lazy. The developers are almost certainly working as hard as they can, and the management isn't being lazy when they don't assign a person or a team to create a replay system, it is a monetary decision. Likely they view the costs of creating and implementing a replay system as outweighing the potential benefits. That is not laziness. It's misguided at best, but it's not something that comes about from laziness. There may also be some issue with the game that makes it much more difficult. What you did is make a replay system for a different game, albeit one made to be similar. You don't know the source code for valorant, you don't know what kind of mess is going on in there that could potentially make a replay system much more difficult and time consuming, and depending on how it would interact with the servers potentially even more costly. We don't know. It could be anything. My guess would be that it just is not a development priority. That the people overseeing development have made the choice to not do it for one reason or another. But that's just a guess, it could be that the spaghetti code would need a complete from the ground up rewrite in order to be able to implement a replay system. I don't know, no one does. At the very least, the likelihood of it just being laziness, that is almost guaranteed to not be true. It's a possibility, but frankly game developers are far too aware of how much competition there is for their jobs to take the foot off the gas.

This video is cool but also super misleading. And reading the comments here confirms that people don't realize this. What he did in this video is not the challenging part of a replay system. It is one thing to track and replay this kind of data running on the computer locally. But Valorant has server fog of war. If a player or object isn't in the players view, or about to be in the players view, it does not exist in that players game at all. The server doesn't even tell that players computer about it. Its made that way to limit the impact of wallhacks. Any valorant replay system would have to record data like this on the server. Any solution would have to be done in a way that did not impact the performance of the server, and also not cost an unreasonable amount of additional money to run. Additionally, even if you achieved that and were able to run back the match recreated from the server's replay. It wouldn't necessarily look right. Crosshairs would not be in the right place due to the nature of any online game, etc. Like idk why there isn't a replay system yet. Its possible its legitimately challenging to get right, it could be hard to do it in a way that doesn't break the bank, maybe it is to hide cheaters, who knows. But the notion that the above video proves anything is just not correct. Doing the trivial part of any task does not prove the whole task is simple or easy. Either this guy doesn't realize that, or he does and he's farming views and likes from people who don't know better.

What the client does or does not know is completely irrelevant. The server already has a system to aggregate and validate information from all the different clients. Riot also isn't some indy company that can barely even afford their server upkeep. Replay systems have existed in other games for decades. It's a solved issue and Riot engineers have the technical ability to implement it. It's either a deliberate choice or management simply thinks it's not important enough to allocate time to it.

[@Robbie1179]

@@TimTYT It keeps track of specific moments like spike plant/defuse and kills. It does not store frame by frame info. And Riot is a huge company but no company is going to do something that costs an excessive amount of money unless it has an eventual return on investment. I think you underestimate the cost here. All other games w/ replay systems that I know of do it client side. Fortnite, CS:GO, PUBG, R6: Siege (took like 5 years for that game).

[@TimTYT]

@@Robbie1179 In CS you download demos and they eventually expire. It's not client side. Of course the server keeps track of frame by frame information, how do you think spectating teammates when you're dead works? The server has to validate every single thing that happens across all clients and decide on a definitive version of what has happened. How else could it keep all the different clients in sync? For replays, the server also has to log all that information and then store it for players to download. You also need client side tools to re-render and spectate games from said logs. A similar system obviously already exists for broadcasting. I agree that it's not a trivial thing to implement, but it's something that has already been done lots of times and Riot has said that replays would eventually come ever since the time the game initially launched, so by now I think it's fair to call them out for not getting it done.

[@TheSamathan]

Yes, that is pretty much how replay systems work, but you grossly understate the complexity of implementing this system in Valorant, compared to an empty UE5 project. Not to mention, Valorant still uses UE4, since engine version migration is difficult when you use a source build, like Valorant does, which heavily modifies the engine (i.e. you can’t just click an “update engine” button). Unreal actually has a replay system framework built in; it’s literally called the “replay system.” It works similarly to what you made here, though it’s a bit more robust. The problem is that Valorant is built with many intertwining frameworks: the gameplay ability system, Slate, EOS, etc. These systems aren’t all integrated with the replay system. Some are replicated (i.e. networked for multiplayer) and some aren’t. Hooking a replay system into each of these frameworks that can accurately serialize data EACH TICK is not an easy (if possible) task. Then, obviously, there’s more technical obstacles. Valorant prioritizes performance for clients and tick rate for servers. Clients and servers are already broadcasting, receiving, verifying, rolling back, etc. input actions every single frame. Forcing the game to also serialize and save all of that data will both bottleneck performance and clutter net traffic. If you try to optimize this, you’ll get really poor, inaccurate replays. Lastly, there’s the problem of storage. Even blockbusters like Overwatch can’t afford to host the massive save files that store replays of every game (that’s why they expire after a few days)-and Riot is a much smaller company than ABK. The only real option is saving this data locally, but that’s an enormous amount of storage to be writing to for a game that is intended for low-end machines. TL;DR: It’s a little more complicated than that, even for a studio like Riot.

Bro went from 100 subs to 11k in under a week. That's a 1100% gain. For something with not even half a days work. What the heck is valorant doing

I'm fed up with riot prioritising basic $80 skin bundles over good updates. Riot takes the community for granted but in 5 years when valorant is dead they are going to wish they did more for the players not the money.

[@imhaluu]

You got it backwards. The skin itself is $80. The bundle is $120+

I would like to think that this video was one of the things pressuring Riot to release some info on it.

​@@ThatCarrotFellaIt is brother, be proud

[@doongi2001]

Idk if I agree with calling them lazy for not adding a replay system, it would be a pretty massive undertaking that very possibly could require a very large number of changes under the hood, possibly even a complete rewrite of how the game works internally, we’ll never really know for sure. But I do agree that their skins are overpriced and they definitely need to work on community relations

[@nikoolay]

No, they need to log the position of what people do and how the abilities were used. Most likely they don't store the data and normally such logs cause massively performance issues.

[@m1key__]

i cant lie, i didnt believe the 100 subs for a second. your editing style is INSANE. you're definitely gonna make it one day

bro knows the Valorant community algorithm. I'm sure this will blow up, didn't even see that u weren't famous when i clicked on the video.

[@ThatCarrotFella]

haha I don't really know the Valorant algo. I just know everyone asking for a replay system 😅

[@sonvay1006]

What you really forget is the network latency. To get a perfect replica of the game, you would need to record every client actions from the killer, so you wouldn't need to rely on only the data what the server thinks that happened because if that would be the case, you would probably get a result to getting a replay when the player wasn't even looking at you when he killed you. But even better solution would be to rotate the killer towards the player he's shooting at, so you wouldn't need to capture any client side actions, but only those that happened on the server, which also wouldn't be a perfect replica of the game, but it would look fine.

[@nickclark3861]

It’s obviously more complicated than this guys replay system, but it’s one dude vs a whole company, sieges replay system works flawlessly. I think the main reason is because they don’t want people to know just how many cheaters are in Val.

[@aprilnya]

what? no, the server does know everyone's rotations accurately, or at least accurately enough to interpolate and have it look good

[@sonvay1006]

@@aprilnya It would only look good if everyone would have a good network connection. If you are playing any online shooter game and if the person you aiming is moving, there's a high chance you only hit the enemy only on your screen, but not on the server, but the server accepts your hit anyway. So as the server, the server shouldn't just use the old locations where the hit happened because the player's rotation who's shooting it wouldn't look right on the replay. Depending on the game, not exaclty on Valorant, I played on Warface where the bullets literally just works as raycast hits. There was countless times where I got killed while i was trying to take cover to the wall, but because the enemy had really bad ping I just got killed through it almost a second later when I was already in cover. So even if Warface had a replay system where the server records where the actions that happened, I would still see myself getting killed through the wall, because the server doesn't even check if the player is able too shoot at me or not if I am in cover, it just only accepts the data from the killer if he shooted me or not. So to think about it, sending the killer's actions to the victim probably provides the best experience but it also increases network traffic too.

[@ImCollatzzMC]

Idk man i feel like theyre purposely neglecting replay because braindead casuals would lose their faith in vanguard seeing cheaters in their games.

[@ThatCarrotFella]

Probably true. I was in a game the other day, bro shot us through smokes and walls. Admitted he was cheating and never got banned

[@ImCollatzzMC]

@@ThatCarrotFella agreed ive seen that a few times, as a long time csgo player, cheaters are definitely fairly easy to spot in low ranks. I feel like theres a ton

Yo it says this video came out 12 days ago when you said you had 100 subscribers or so... DUDE YOU BLEW UP LIKE CRAZY!!! 21K in 12 DAYS IS INSANE!!! THIS VIDEO IS INSANE!!! I subscribed too btw ;)

[@BuistRL]

You did I great job with your recreation, the problem however is the way valorant runs their local information, they don’t store the location of other players locally, it’s exclusively server side, almost every replay system in every game stores game data gathered from client side information, the way you are proposing valorant implements a replay system simply can’t work with their anti cheat and the way they store data, I would love a replay system in Val, but it has to be a very unique new thing because of their anti cheat system

[@pashagamesdev]

Not really unique, server recorded demos from CS are example of the replay system that players want, the only problem is the efficient recording and storing of the data (riot made the server tick take about 2.34ms, because servers are expensive so they run multiple instances on the same server core and just a little bit of a headroom, so they would have to engineer the replay system to be efficient too)

[@gonzalolog]

@@pashagamesdev I'm not saying it's impossible neither riot it's not capable, but as dev it's disappointing how people believe it's so easy to bring something like that on a game that's played by thousand of hundreds of players League has a replay system as CSGO had, but honestly believing it's something silly like what was shown in the video it's just sad along the people that believe so

[@pashagamesdev]

@@gonzalolog Completely agree. I'm developing a web game with max concurrent online of 200 people (not even thousands), and even the 2d game tick is taking 20 ms for each tick average locally, how they made it 2.4ms is beyond me.

[@absoluteclear.]

Not to mention that Riot refused to do a replay system for league back in the day, they said it was too hard. But i tought that the already had the experience to at least give us a system replay for Valorant, which is a thing they promised, and they had a lot of time to develop it.@@gonzalolog

[@kabo375]

@@pashagamesdev Another reason could be that there is not a real pause system? I mean, you can pause the timer but not the game, sorry if this sounds stupid ( and my butchered english) but I am only a player with zero understanding of this systems.

[@Hanako-sn6vd]

I think they still working on it cause they make online game so which mean maybe this system will make the game lag or high ping, so they can't release it! //In my opinion Valorant is 5vs5 so it mean 10 players need to send data(movement, skill) to server like 10 times and server need to send back to every player that why i think it could make high ping!

[@marcellvincze7507]

cs 2 has a replay sístem, it's a 5v5 fps game. with much bigger pakige sizez then valorant, and the ping is not high. we talk about a simple log system tho

[@Hanako-sn6vd]

now they show it have bug so they won't release :D

[@GuadaMada]

I dont wanna go into huge conspiracy mode but what if Riot doesnt want to add a replay system because it'd ruin a deal they got with aim labs or valtrackers cause then you'll know everything that happened in game instead of going to 3rd party sources for help on the game (btw great video)

[@impyrobot]

Nah it's because it will show how many cheaters there actually are in the game. Valorant not having cheaters is a psyop

[@iimmyyyy]

They already have the replay system in china. My best guess for as to why is because it will allow players to catch up quicker, if we got the replay system the meta would advance too quickly. It would be very stale quickly in terms of professional play.

[@divine0mega926]

​@impyrobot yoooo ty. Look up I made cheats in Valorant. A 12 y/o could make cheats without getting banned.

[@youknowWho41011]

If they make a replay system, then they will have to actually address the myriad of bugs and glitches in the game because players will be able to watch back their gameplay and point them out. Just makes more work for them that doesn't make them money in the end. Not profitable="not feasible".

[@allansherin9565]

there's a lot more to it than that though, i feel liek people often dont realise how complex game building is. it's same case with league, they struggle with updating because of the fact that they made an engine just for the game 20 years ago, they are putting bandage after bandage every update, it needs a new model soon, before it crumbles. i can't imagine how big a 20 year old model can go damn
