pre vscript update demos have no gibs and player models animations are funky (especially when midair and ragdolls).
it has nothing to do with mastercomfig but I'm running out of places to ask for help
#demo playback issues since vscript update
copper temple
copper temple
btw it's not config/mod related as it's a global problem for everyone with all pre vscript demos
woven wave
code issue, probably no way to fix, maybe you could migrate demo data over
like by parsing it yourself and translating but idk if thats feasible
woven wave
yep just confirmed, only way to view them properly is through an old build, unless you wanted to migrate data
copper temple
I ran an old build and it's not stable, crashes constantly
how do you migrate data?
copper temple
for some reason demos crash past couple thousand ticks
woven wave
you'd have to write your own
copper temple
where they didn't use to before
woven wave
maybe youre on the wrong old version
copper temple
possible
this is the client server I downloaded https://steamdb.info/depot/441/history/?changeid=M:2371322621530894833
this is the windows client https://steamdb.info/depot/232251/history/?changeid=M:8319568912250137931

if you'll have time I'll appreciate any help I can get
I can play the demos and the visual bugs are fixed, but the demos crash
copper temple
seems like it crashes regardless of the demo or the tick, it lets me play around 1000 ticks and then it crashes with no errors
wild inlet
can you upload a demo that crashes the game?
copper temple
all the demos work fine on the current version of tf2 (if you don't count the visual bugs)
they crash on the older build
wild inlet
ah
wild inlet
interestingly, ragdolls lose their cosmetics from old demos
it seems to be due to missing recvprops
copper temple
huh, I didn't even notice the ragdolls not having cosmetics but you're right
the thing with ragdolls I was referring to is the weird physics that apply after the player dies
example of no gibs and the weird crouching animation for airborne player models
copper temple
I managed to fix those issues by reverting to an older version of tf2 (21st of october, before the vscript update)
but the demos crash after viewing them for a very short time regardless of which demo or what tick
wild inlet
and thats whats causing these issues
copper temple
is it fixable on the current version from the client side?
wild inlet
not without modifying client code
copper temple
well then all that's left is trying to make the older build stable for demo viewing
copper temple
ok so the version from 12th of august is a little more stable, I can play a single demo without it crashing, the moment I try to play another one it crashes
wild inlet
ok so the version from 12th of august is a little more stable, I can play a sing...
does running voice_enable 0 before you start the demo fix the crashes?
