Thanks.

I can no longer play demos made pre-patch. Haven't tried making one post-patch yet. demoui reports: ConVarRef bm_nextmap doesn't point to an existing ConVar SetConVar: No such cvar ( bm_nextmap set to cp_granary), skipping Got pure server whitelist: sv_pure = 2. Missing RecvProp for DT_TFPlayerResource - DT_TFPlayerResource/m_iCaptures Host_EndGame: CL_ParseClassInfo_EndClasses: CreateDecoders failed. and demoui2 complains about loading the vmt files.

Seems like an oversight on Valve's part to me, but that's how it is.

Ah... that makes all sorts of sense. If a spawn point changed and the demo character left that spawn point, the demo playback would be confused. It's too bad they can't give it some leniency like just skipping ahead or blanking the screen at that point but it's probably extra programming. Even if it makes them kind of temporary, demo playback is probably not that important in the grand scheme of things.
