We’re supposed to hit tilde at a specific spot during the loading right? So that the console will pop up straight away and the \_2 demo will be 1 tick in length?

How is it possible to record these even since they’re only 1 tick in length and playdemo xxx\_2 don’t do.

Wjat did HL2DQ do?

If you’re recording beforehand, it automatically records the \_2 demo for you.

I was mainly talking about when to stop the \_2 demo recording.
