When both teams readied up and the round is about to start TF2 freezes. Picture and sound are refreshing like every 3 seconds and my ping goes up to 500. I can’t see the HUD anymore and when i press Esc the main menu closes 1 second after.
I tried it with P-REC and also manually with record in console, but both ways will result in a freeze.
One Reinstallation didnt help

Quoted from Spike Himself

Remove your hud, configs, and other modifications (reinstalling tf2 will not remove these so you’ve just wasted your time :p).

To make sure configs are actually gone, also disable steam cloud sync.

When you’re playing with 100% vanilla settings, does the problem still occur? If not, you can now being to bring back your config, hud, etc 1 by 1. If the problem still occurs at least you know it’s not because of your tf2 – in that case you could go for driver updates and the like.

This Problem only occurs when STV is on the server.
I deleted my Custom HUD and with the default HUD it worked. Then I tried another HUD and it froze again. So I can’t use Custom HUDs on a server with STV and record a demo?^^

I think my old HDD couldn’t handle it. It works fine on my new one now.
Anyway thank you for your time :o)
