For some time now I cannot watch any of my recent demos. I get the infamous hl.exe error the moment I load the demo :S

I do NOT have this problem with others’ demos (tried with some STV demos)…

Is this a known bug? Does anyone know how to fix that? Help appreciated.

Sounds strange… I’ve never had it. Have you tried vertifing your game cache? that might fix it.

Did both, same error as before :(

Also tried recording manually (without p-rec) – didn’t work.

I’ll try and cleanup the cfg, although I didn’t change a thing for months. My demos just suddenly went broke…

Can you play other demos?

Upload your demo for someone else to try.

Yes, I tried disabling multicore rendering.

Anyways, tried with a mate’s POV demo – could view it without issues. But when another friend tried viewing MY POV demo, he got the hl.exe crash as well. :S

Apparently I can record broken demos!!1! o/

And I don’t have a clue why, wonderful.

I can play recent demos and old ones i cant bcos demos break afters updates maybe thats the issue not sure though.

@Reload: As expected, didnt work. :P

@vanadium: Demos broken after an update aren’t the issue. Even if I don’t close the gam between recording and viewing a demo file, it doesnt work.

@tesla: Uhm… woot?!
