Error recording demos
Hey
I have a issue recording demos (and Yes I DO know how to record demos) Whenever I try to record one, my game locks up. I can see everything move around me, I can hear people's voice and text messages, as well as all the animations go around me, but I cannot move around or move my mouse around at all. I can't type and I do not think my voice works either. Even when I type stop in the console, my game continues to lock up, though I can see everything happen around me. My console spits out some error about a string table/ variable. When I reconnect to the server, I can play like normal again. Anyone have any advice? (And no, I don't want to reinstall ) |

This is a known issue among the FF community, and hopefully it will be addressed as a possible fix in the future.
If this happens, rejoin the server, and try recording a demo again. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with prematch time. |

To have a working demo you need to start it right away when just getting into a server and it has to be when you first start up the game.
I've had this problem and this is what I do every time. To make sure I get a good demo recording when the server switches maps, I exit right out of the game to the desktop, then go back in again, join a server (usually the one I was one) and soon as the game comes up I start recording. So far i have over 8 gigs of demos done like this and everyone of them work. Its a bit of a pain but ya get used to it. It does suck that you just can't start a demo when you want, and I hope they find the reason for this and fix it, but at least this way works. |
