Cannot switch players and open console in demos.

[The name's Lemon]

Hi, recently i started recording nice plays i did , and everything was fine.
But i just oppened a demo and it seems that i can't do anything anymore. I can't open console, switch players, etc... Only on demos doe, out of demos everything is fine. The only thing i can do is open the shift+f2 menu, i can't even press escape.

Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Demo = only player view recorded (you can only see what you saw)
Replay = match recorded (noclip, switch players, that stuff)
You're talking about replays?

well, the ''watch demo'' option after you downloaded an competitive match.
I used to be able to switch players and open console from there. Do you have to open the match from somewhere else or something ?

Thanks for the help.

No you don't, you go to downloaded matches, and play the match you want to watch.
Verify game integrity just to make sure nothing's missing or broken.

You can't do anything when the control menu (Shift-F2) is up. If you want to switch players or look at the scoreboard, just hit Shift-F2 to close that menu, do what you need to do, and then type Shift-F2 again to bring it back up.

maybe you need this, worked for me.

spec_allow_roaming 1 in console

Still having troubles?
In the Release 9/3/2015 ... Valve fixed this:
"– Fixed mouse cursor being visible and eating keyboard input during Demo playback."
Source: http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/category/updates/

but here, the problem still. I'll try to check game integrity and try the spec_allow_roaming.
Thanks guys.

Fix it! It was something in my EXEC I lunch every game. so I removed some things and its fixed now. Thanks for the help!

Maybe I have the same trouble. Have some command in my autoexec that I need to change the resolution always when I launch the game...if I don't do this, my game crash in welcome match when I connect. Perhaps my problem is in this command... I'll check later...

[NItroEdits]

try not using the exec to see if it works at all and if it does than try to figure out which command is causing the problem. one by one.

[ptrus]

Nice suggest... :D anyway, what command are trouble to you?

[NItroEdits]

I use //CORE HAVEN [autoexec.cfg] Which you can see here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=172467889 The things i changed where... Got rid of ----///Zomega
host_writeconfig---- and I changed ----r_drawtracers_firstperson "1"---- to 0 and that fixed it for me idk what exactly is causing the issue but it's fixed I didn't feel like messing around and find out exactly what it is.

[ptrus]

Hmm, I'm using one autoexec made by me... http://gabrielpetrone.com/csgo/autoexec.cfg -- I'll compare both configs and try to remove some commands... thanks bro! if I found the command, I back here to comment!
