Loading a Replay

Currently there are a few ways to open a replay in Rewind:

  1. Manually selecting a replay file (.osr) from your file system
  2. Using the built-in filer watcher that watches the osu!/Replays folder
  3. (soon) Using a built-in song/replay browser

Manual selection​

Either use the menu item or press the shortcut (Ctrl+O) to open up the file dialog to select your replay file (ending with .osr).

File watcher​

This will be the most convenient way to use Rewind since you usually want to have a look at your replay right after you have finished/failed a map.

The file watcher will watch for any new replay file that gets inserted into the osu!/Replays folder. Rewind will then determine which beatmap to load (even unsubmitted ones) based on your osu! game files.

Therefore you can use the file watcher in the following ways:

  • At a score screen, press F2 to export the replay to the Replays folder (clip)
  • At a fail screen you can also press F2 to export the failed replay (clip)
  • Add a replay file into the “Replays” folder (with copy paste for example)

Notes:

  • If you actually fail a run and want to see that replay, don't smash the ESC key out of habit / frustration, otherwise the replay is lost forever. Exporting a failed replay is only possible at the fail screen.
  • You can even export a replay after passing a map in multiplayer. If you fail during a multiplayer game, then there is no way to get the replay.
  • One downside of this method is that the osu!/Replays folder will actually be filled with the exported replays so make sure to occasionally clean it up.
