Gameplay Sessions

A Gameplay Session is automatically saved to your Regression Games account whenever you manually record gameplay, replay a recording, or use a feature that records its own gameplay such as running a Bot Sequence.

Learn more about the data we capture through our SDK in the Recording Gameplay section.

Viewing Gameplay Sessions

You can view a list of your saved Gameplay Sessions through the Gameplay Sessions dashboard in the Regression Games web interface.

At a glance, each Session displays a summary including the date and time it was recorded, duration of its gameplay, and the number of ticks captured in total. Selecting a Session reveals more details through a tick scrubber that allows you to view a timeline of the game's state, user inputs, and performance data alongside a screenshot of the game at a specific tick.

Using Gameplay Sessions to Create Validation Suites

A Gameplay Session is the foundation for creating a Validation Suite. Data from the Session is used to determine which entities and components from your game are available to use in Validation Steps defined through the Scenario Builder.

To create a Validation Suite from a Session, select the Session from the list and click the Create a Validation Suite From This Session button. This will present a dialog where you'll give the Suite a name and optional description. Once you create your Suite, you will be redirected to the Suite's details page in the Validation Suites dashboard.

Alternatively, you can create a new Validation Suite from the Validation Suites dashboard by clicking the Create Suite button and selecting the Session you wish to use from a dropdown in the creation dialog.
