Description
Hey,
this is not really a request for the s2protocol, but for the contents of a replay. Currently is quite hard to say determine that two or more replays are from the same match; all from a different match participant (player, observer, etc).
There is no matchID in it, the matchtime is based on the users PC, gameloops can differ depending on when a player leaves a match (especially for team matches), etc...
There must be a matchID somewhere in the Battlenet-universe for a match. Is it possible to include this in the replay or some other unique hash, to identify the match the replay belongs to?
Thanks and greetings,
Andy!
