Demo (.dem) seems to crash when damage is taken?

This might not be the cause, but all the demos I have gotten from a friend seem to crash at times early in the demo.

This is not a mat_queue_mode issue, so please don't suggest that. Other demos from other people do not crash and I am also not experiencing issues while skipping ticks.

If someone could help or confirm my issue, this is a demo that doesn't work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0gk4ffbv8spreu/20140303_1913_cp_steel_tc_c_blu.dem

This has been happening for a couple of months now. It seems really random - specific demos with specific people. It sucks.

Fast-forwarded through the whole demo, no crashes.

Yeah it works for me too. This is like the reason it's so hard to fix probably - the demos only crash for very specific people with seemingly very little in common.

You should submit this to Valve for sure to help fix it, it's been happening since the Halloween 2013 update.

Damn. A couple of my other friends tested demos from the guy and they couldn't get them to work either. The fact that you guys can play the demo means that it's definitely an issue that seems to occur on a case by case basis. Sucks.

It's worth noting that both demos from my old and new computer crash when Oxo tries to load them.

Similar thing used to happen to me - I sent demos to a friend and he couldn't play any of them initially. Then we tried using a shared folder on dropbox (instead of me uploading and sending the link to it, I'd upload and he'd just get it himself from the foldier) and it worked from then on.

I highly doubt that what we did is actually what fixed it but it's something to try if you want to.
