Overview
This is a easy method to rename your saved and recorded games. Recorded games are named generically with a datetime stamp so if you want to keep track of what happened where, you’ll want to rename them
Rename Saved and Recorded Games
By default recorded games are saved generically with a date stamp and there is no way ingame to change the name. But not to worry! Renaming them is quite easy. Hopefully they will add in a button to rename these files at some point but until then, this is an easy workaround.
1. Open the game and go to Singleplayer >> Saved and Recorded Games
2. If you need a reminder of what a certain replay is of, just open it, run through it for a bit, and then close it. It’s probably not a good idea to rename the file while it’s open. Once you know which file you want to rename Alt + Tab out of the game and open your Steam Library.
3. Right click on AoE2HD and choose Properties
4. Go to Local File >> Browse Local Files
5. Open the savegame folder
6. You can now rename the saved or recorded game file you want to change.
