Rare bug where you can't load a demo ?

[lunatixxx]

Could not a load demo of swamp fever map 1, almost instant come back to menu. The only thing i was seeing in console: SetConVar: No such cvar ( stripper_current_file set to c3m1_plankcountry), skipping

I tried a few minutes later with another more recent demo of the same map and it loaded without troubles.

Sounds cool, care to share a broken demo?

Demo is small in size as i was just testing something, did not change anything between the working demo and this one.

playbackTime: 0.01666666753590107,
playbackTicks: 1,
playbackFrames: 1,

Looks like it just ended almost immediately. Do you know how much time has it shown in console?

Example:

tv_record t; tv_stoprecord
Recording SourceTV demo to t.dem...
String Table dictionary for downloadables should be rebuilt, only found 29 of 51 strings in dictionary
String Table dictionary for soundprecache should be rebuilt, only found 16098 of 19097 strings in dictionary
String Table dictionary for Scenes should be rebuilt, only found 13106 of 15775 strings in dictionary
Completed SourceTV demo "t.dem", recording time 0.0

I played the intro of the map and played a few seconds after that. Could this be because of the delay ?

[lunatixxx]

I have a 10 seconds delay.

Demo clearly states length of 0.02 seconds. File size of 1.9MB roughly matches the length.

This demo has ended right after it started. Perhaps you've given me a wrong file, or recording has started way too late/got reset? If you've used tv_autorecord 1, then I suggest you look up other files to identify a correct demo file.

I have a 10 seconds delay.

No, demo recording doesn't use a delay.

Maybe i downloaded the demo before it finished to be compiled but it will be surprising.

Nope, it wouldn't write into header playback* summary values then.
