Resolved Issues with demos

[Josh_]

If someone MFK if I type record demo it doesnt record something that has already happend so how can I fix that issu. Additionally I can't seen to find where my demo files go after recording (yes I have seen the guide)

Make sure you record before it happens? I mean there isn't much you can do about it

Am_Seal, how did you try to start to record a demo? Did you only type in 'record', and that's it? You have to give the demo a name to save under.
For example:"record mfker", "record <name>".

To where your demo files are saved to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf
This is where you should be able to find your saved demos.

Use the autorecord function in advanced settings. It'll take some digging if you stack demos, though.

You can always use something like bandicam or OBS studio. They let you bind a key that will let you record instantly. It is useful for catching MFKS.

You must stop the recording, with the stop command, otherwise it wont actually write any files to disk.

when I record it states
'pyro.cfg' not present; not executing.

 

[AgentPiman]

because you don't have a pyro config file in your tf/cfg folder and you just switched to pyro. it has nothing to do with demos

 

[Josh_]

So is it a reason with it not showing up in the folder?

 

[AgentPiman]

no, just use autorecord in advanced settings and once you find an MFK or whatever, use "stop" and then use that demo to report

 

[Josh_]

ok
but the files don't show up where the post said

 

[AgentPiman]

it will ask you where you want the autorecorded demos to go. it's usually tf/demos, so check there and see if you have a .dem file after a test

I don't like using 3rd party. I use plays.tv and it gives me plenty of issues when it comes to recording

OBS is really reliable though. Its easy to use, and the quality of the videos from it are sub par. It would be useful for reports.

Yeah its pretty easy, learning how to actually record is a bit of a pain at first but they are plenty of guides on how to use it.

Heres a tutorial on how to actually recor:
