Demorecord playback crash

[Oklahoman]

Has there been a recent update that perhaps broke demorecord playback?

 

Today, I thought I might try making an animated Zoom background from in front of Atlas. I recorded several files, but all of them crash when I go to play them back. I tried several other of the demorecord files I have and noticed everything created on or before 3/30/20 works fine.

Yes. And I found out how to fix it.

You need to edit the demofile in notepad. For some reason the april update added 3 too many costume parts to player characters. You need to delete the last three costume pieces

0   1   PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000
0   1   PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000
0   1   PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000

 

You need to do this for ALL player characters in the demo. Then save it and it will play fine.

If you look at any demos recorded prior to April, there are 28 "Partsname" lines. But now there are 31. Perhaps the devs are planning to implement new costume pieces?

What do you use to playback a demorecord?  Not able to find the classic Zloth's Demo Launcher yet.  Thanx in advance.

 

EDIT Nevermind, I found the answer at Demo Recording - Paragon Wiki Archive under Playback Via A Windows Shortcut - Method 1
