Everytime i record demos, it works perfect and i understand the issue "lost connection to host" on servers that have a star infront of them or something. today i just hit a triple, my first triple lol.. and i was on skype and i looked at the demo name and it said "recording demo0328. I said it outloud to my friend who was with me on skype, i stopped recording dropped down and renamed it to "triplehighrise" when i went to check it out the triple wasnt in the demo! , i checked every demo that i had recorded that game it wasnt there. I checked if it was the right demo that i had renamed and it said the previous name was demo0328 (it was the right one.) Did the demo close too early, thats the only explanation i have... this has happened to couple of my quad feeds, i know im not making the mistake since ive checked the demos that were recorded in that game, im 100 % sure i recorded it. The server name is WZ HIGHRISE. It doesnt have a star infront of it and ive gotten fully working demos from it. Please help!

you can't record demos on legacy servers (the ones with the stars) as they do not support it

If your demo was recorded on there, it's lost forever as far as I know

If you're sure the demo wasn't on a legacy server and it doesn't work, then chances are it's gone

Maybe someone here can give a more insightful look into this as I don't play around with demos much

If you have renamed the demo while still in the server, or even with the game running, you're fucked.

I play only on WZ servers, being it Rust, Favela or Zombies. Recorded demos work perfectly fine in there. However I have seen the problem in one(haven't checked for more) that iw4m can only replay a limited amount of time on the demo, about 1 minute. But that can be wrong too.

So. Lesson learnt: two actually: If you want triples, grab a vector and go to a Rust server, and never, ever, ever rename a demo while you are in-game.

I use fraps to record it does not stop working like demos do

But Fraps is gay, as it drops your framerate like hell, and still Fraps < MSI Afterburner.

Also, OP, sounds like your doing something wrong.

as it drops your framerate like hell

why would the game need to run at a higher framerate than the videos you're recording?
