Describe the bug
Demos made in TC2 0.0.16 cannot be played back on TF2. However, a demo recorded on 0.0.9~0.0.10 works.
How you encountered the issue
I recorded a demo on TC2 0.0.16 and tried playing it back on a stock download of TF2
Additional Information
I've tried recording demos on TC2 with different contents, and tried playing them back on stock TF2 and on the pre_jungleinferno_demos beta branch;
The demos used for testing were:
dustbowl_no_bots.dem (just spectating with no bots playing)
dustbowl_no_action.dem (server full of bots but no action, that is, no fire, no shooting and no gibs. the whole demo was recorded during the setup time)
dustbowl_action.dem (a section of a normal bot versus bot)
All of the demos were met with the same behavior on stock TF2, the game attempts to load the demo, then quits to the main menu, showing errors in the console:
console_stock.log
Same goes for the beta branch, but the game instead crashes with this warning:
There are also different errors in the console:
console_pre_jungleinferno_demos_branch.log
however, a demo made by @fiend#3938 on the discord around version 0.0.9 or 0.0.10 does play normally on stock tf2 and on the beta branch. Here it is:
dustbowlbench.zip
I think it is important to retain demo compatibility so we can demonstrate the increase in performance in a controlled test, and demos are the best way to do that.
