GPL - Replays are shorter now?

I used to be able to save the whole of an 11 lap offline race at Monza; come
to think of it, the practice too.

But recently I've noticed much less of the race available.  In fact today I
could only save from lap 5 onwards?  Real shame 'cos my start was a beauty!
;-)

Any ideas?  Is it down to the server hosting the race??

Oh I remember the days when replays where longer.....heady days :~)

There is a setting in core.ini - its something like replaylength - have a
search on http://groups.google.com

You can add : -
[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 32000  ; size of replay buffer in Kbytes

probably more than that in a modern computer

All the best,
Ash

As you add more graphic updates etc it uses up more memory to capture
the replays. Hence they get shorter.

Just add these two lines to your core.ini file

[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 50000 ;50Mb replay storage

You might need to fiddle around with that number to get the length you want.
