[BUG] Unable to record and DELETE replays
Version of steam: 1753403107
Platform: Windows
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
Game: tModLoader
Other game recording software: none

Hello, I’m encountering some issues here, please fix them:

1. Certain games inexplicably do not support automatic background replay recording, such as tmodloader, which I started playing the day before yesterday. (By the way, this game used to record normally before. The last time I played it was around July or August last year, but when I opened it again this year, it suddenly stopped working for some reason.)
2. Following point 1, after discovering yesterday that it doesn’t support automatic recording, I tried the following methods to fix it:
2.1: Restarted the game, no effect.
2.2: Restarted the game and switched to windowed, borderless windowed, and full-screen modes, no effect.
2.3: Opened Terraria alone and found that replay recording worked normally. However, after closing Terraria and opening tmodloader, it still couldn’t record.
2.4: Instead of using automatic recording, I tried manual recording, which worked. Then I stopped manual recording and disabled this feature, but automatic recording still didn’t work. Restarting the game also had no effect.
2.5: The most critical measure, which might be the reason I’m submitting this feedback: I first opened tmodloader, and as usual, automatic replay recording didn’t work. Then I switched from automatic recording to “manual recording” and clicked start recording. Next, without stopping manual recording, I directly selected automatic recording in the settings. At this point, the replay recording system seemed to start “working”—it began recording, but unlike previous replays, the progress bar was golden instead of blue. Perhaps it was still in manual recording mode but was recognized as automatic recording? In any case, it “worked” (after reopening tmodloader, automatic recording was still active, but the progress bar remained golden).
3. I’m not sure if it’s due to the measure in 2.5 point or something else, but after restarting the client, I found that replays from other games couldn’t be exported, and an error (2) was prompted.
4. I’m not sure if it’s due to the measure in 2.5 point or something else, but after restarting the client, I found that screenshots uploaded to the cloud could be loaded and viewed, but they couldn’t be copied locally or downloaded.
5. I’m not sure if it’s due to the measure in 2.5 point or something else, but after restarting the client, I found that the replay recorded under the measure in 2.5 point(which was recognized by Steam as replay content) could be viewed but couldn’t be exported or deleted. Even after turning off the replay function and deleting all replays, it still remained undeleted. I then went to D:\SteamLibrary\gamerecordings and deleted the contents of the timelines and video folders, but this replay still appears, though it fails to load when clicked.

Therefore, please fix the above issues and let me know how to delete this “erroneous” replay. Thank you.
