<div class="IPBDescription">playing them not making them.</div> Trying to play come cal match demos, its the correct version b5.
No mods installed.


heres what happens,

Playdemo [filename]

Starts server, first few seconds play then the game crashes, have to cntrl-alt-del. Second time I try, cntrl-alt-del will not work. I have tried several demos on several computers.

The only thing that I can think of, I set my max framerate to 100. I would set it to default, but I dont know what default is. Is there a command to set it to default?

    u could try loading the map first before loading demo, with command example in console being the following:

    map ns_eclipse *if the demo is on ns_eclipse of course

    also try the viewdemo command instead of playdemo

    good luck

    What demos are you trying to watch? It could very well be that the CAL match was done in a older version which you dont have.

    I don't try to watch the CAL matchs. I usually have demos of hackers so we can ban them, but it usually gets out of my NS or it says the "File cannot be found." Do I have to put them in a specific directory other then the NS Folder? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I've been unable to play demos too. Not being a tech wiz or anything, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I haven't tried viewdemo yet though, so maybe that will work.
