Hey,
Some time ago, I was able to record and/or play demos without any issues.
I was using P-Rec, and all demos recorded without any problems. But recently I noticed that my demos are not working propertly. I dont know when it started, but from this point on, everytime I try to record demo, it simply records 2 frames, and stops.
] record a
Recording to a.dem...
bind [command] : attach a command to a key
Completed demo, recording time 0.0, game frames 2.
Those demos have about 450kB and when I try to play them, it shows that 2 recorded frames, and this in console:
] playdemo a
Playing demo from a.dem.

Could not find table "GameRulesCreation"
So it does not record at all.
First, I thought that it may be caused by changing the value of “mat_queue_mode 2”,
but when I set back the -1 (default) value, recording still didnt work.
So I began searching if anyone has the same problem, but I couldn’t find anything.
Thanks much for your help!

It’s throwing out the help text for the bind command. Looks as if something in your config’s gone wrong. Any idea where this comes from?

I think that when recording starts, game executes autoexec.cfg
I use Chris’ cfg, and there are many things that may cause this, such as bind none “”
in case theres something wrong with the config, I’ll try using a different one
You can easily test this;
– make a backup of your cfg folder
– delete all your config files
– record a demo
Thanks for the help, I deleted chris’ cfg and now I am using m0re’s. I works perfectly now.
The bug was somewhere it my old cfg, and I think that trying to find it would be a waste of time :D
