After the recent 64 bit update, the pre_07_25_23_demos - Pre-07-25-23 Demo Playback beta will no longer work. Are there any work arounds to play Pre-07-25 demos?
Edit: I haven’t had time to test this, but I’ve heard that this works https://www.teamfortress.tv/64517/making-pre-07-25-23-work-after-the-64-bit-update
Are Pre-07-25-23 demos playable anymore?

It seems to work still, but as before you continue to need Steam in offline mode. Steam in online mode -> crashes.
Steam not running at all -> crashes.

Thanks that does work [EDIT: Beta works, but pre-07-25 demos don't] , before the update I'd turn off the wifi on my computer to get the beta to work but that doesn't work anymore

NVM, I'm able to get the beta to load, but pre 07-25 demos still don't work even with the beta

You're right, same for me, yet another crash when trying to actually start playing a demo. Probably also Steam related, no clue how to get around it though.
Edit: demos started to play back fine for me now, I don't know what changed

To clarify, Pre 07-25-23 demos are working for you now?

Seemingly so, the only things I would have changed was I tried killing steam after starting tf2 to see if demos would play then (they didn't, it crashed), and I also tried replacing steam_api.dll and steamnetworkingsockets.dll in the old version with the versions from the latest release of tf2.
I reverted everything I did, yet somehow demos play back fine now without crashing tf2. The demos I tested were the mastercomfig benchmark_test.dem and benchmark1.dem from the tftv benchmarks thread, as I knew both of those are supposed to be able to play in this version of tf2.

Of course. I'm really not sure what changed. If you have a specific demo file that should work, send it and I can try playing it back.

could you share a seemingly broken demo? oldest i have is 07 26 2023 but using this https://www.reddit.com/r/windows7/comments/1c7sxr9/workaround_for_team_fortress_2_crashing_under/ i could start the 32 bit executable, i would assume the shortcut trick would work regardless of the windows version.

Unfortunately that won't work since I need the clip for a frag movie, but that is a really cool site
