Hey there!

 

I have a very annoying bug when I want to replay demos. Often I get this error in mid-game:

CL_ReadDemoMessage: demoMsglen > MAX_MSGLEN

I just got a nuke on Afghan, recorded a demo and was happy to capture/playback the gameplay and then just before I activated my Harrier this error appeared. It was a non-modded IW4M server (not aRev/legacy) and it was a standard Domination match.

As I mentioned before, I got this error a few times before though.

 

How can I get the demo working and what did I do wrong?

I think your demos are too long. Maybe it can only record for a given length of time. Idk how long that is, but this is what I think, since the MAX in the error could mean that you've reached your maximum time you could record. But I'm not an expert, just guessing.

No, Harriers do not work in Demos.

Well, that sucks. Will it be fixed?

record shorter demo's, like 400-500kb max.

No, it's the harrier. Every demo I recorded on non-aRev/legacy servers without harrier works (even the ones that are 1 MiB and larger).

But is it going to be fixed?

Who knows... I don't even know only NTAuthority knows.
