Hi i need some help fixing my game. For a couple of weeks now all my demos that i record in
tf2 are incredibly laggy and choppy. That problem also occurs if other people watch these demos even with lawena or moviecfgs etc.

First i thought http://teamfortress.tv/thread/17973/making-your-tf2-look-blocky-again this would make the demos go nuts but even after turning that off i still have that problem.

It looks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJRcCGP_MIM

If anybody knows a fix for that or any further info is needed to fix that problem please respond here

try

cl_interp .1
cl_smooth 1

didn't see that this happens when others view your demos. what are your cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate

must be net settings, are any of these out of whack:

cl_cmdrate 66
cl_interp 0.033
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 66
rate 60000

some nice reading:

also note changing any of this stuff won't affect older demos, you'd have to record a new one with the new settings to see any effect

do you have decent internet?

Not sure if it applies here but sometimes we have to set cl_interp 0.1 on STVs to stop the stuttering.

I've done a lot of mentoring of like, UGC Iron players, and a lot of their demos come out like this. I used to think that it was due to playing at a low framerate, but that doesn't seem to be the case with you.

i'd just reinstall completely and see what happens. edit: looks like you already did that. did you just delete local content? or did you actually go into the folder and remove everything? try playing with fresh, stock configs.

My best educated guess based on what I know of Source is to do the following steps exactly:

* Launch TF2.

* Open console

* Change cl_interp to 0.0152

* Go record a new demo.

* Play that demo back.

Is THAT demo jittery?
