Do you have any graphics packs that modify blood effects and such?

On a second look the file might be inside a compressed 1.2 GB file. You might need to extract it and then repack it, which can be tricky and not recommended. I say reinstall. I will try and go record a demo and see if it works.

Seem there might be an issue with ow it connects to the internet, but it is hard to say. I read some defrag the game files and it fixes it.

I get that error when i record but it does not crash me. It records. Try to defragment the game files. Go to the game list, right click on DOD go toproperties at the bottom then go to local files and defragment cache files.

 

[Blue Stealth]

yeah i will try that.

the error does not crash me out, but does not allow me to open up my recorded demo after trying playdemo "name"

Hey Blue

If nothing works just uninstall and re-install DODS. I have done this several times and your info is backed up.
