Title says it all. I've got a lot of replays I plan on using for strategy videos. If they won't play I need to convert them before I patch WoT.

They kinda work, but I'd still make a back up of your 7.3 folder. If you copy off the game folder, then put a shortcut to the 7.3 exe on your desktop (or anywhere), you can drag/drop 7.3 replays to play them w/ the 7.3 client.

They changed left and right arrow so left does rewind and right does jump ahead.
Slow down and fast forward are now up and down arrow and I don't know what key jumps to 1x speed.

When you are running 7.3 replays everything is fine until you rewind or fast forward, then it seems to freeze.
The battle results page appears to never show up, but besides these two things, they play like normal.

I just watched a replay from about 3 weeks ago from 7.3 and it told me I had a newer verson of the game and so forth and asked do want to go on. I hit yes and the replay worked fine it changed the mimin maps to look like the new one with the red and green flaggs but the match was from 5/26/12 so almost a month back and it worked ok.

I also tryed one from way back befor 7.3 and for sure that did not work. Anyway 7.3  replays seem to be working for me.

They seem to work, use up and down arrow and don't touch left. Battle reports didn't show up for me either. Some maps have new cover in 7.4, shots and tanks in 7.3 replays go right through it.

Test server replays work too.
