Recorded demos crash

I'm posting this on behalf of my friend. Demos that he records seem to make his game crash when trying to view them later on. The problem exists when manually recording (record NAME then stop) and when trying to play demos that P-REC records. The demos record and are accessible in his tf/demos directory, but when trying to play them ingame, his game crashes without an error message. I uploaded one of my demos and he was able to play it, so I believe it's the way his game records demos that is the problem. I tried playing one of the demos he uploaded and it crashed for me as well, exact same problem. If anyone knows what the problem is and how to fix it, your help would be super appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if it is relevant, but his steam folder directory is located on a secondary hard drive.

Has he tried validating steam files? Seems to be a cure-all after steampipe.

Yeah, forgot to mention that. He tried validating TF2 files but the problem persisted.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing special in that demo compared to other demos he's tried recording, but here you go:

Have him try "prec_record" in his own local server and viewing that.
