    Hey all,

    This is not a pressing issue with Empires but I just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

    When I'm using Source Demo Recorder (typing 'record <demo name>' in console) in a game, it sometimes locks up the screen. I can still communicate (through both voice and chat), but it freezes the last screen I had when I started the recorder. I then have to leave and reenter the server to fix the problem.

    Also, this usually happens the first time I'm using source recorder in a map, so that when I exit/rejoin it works fine.

    Is anyone else having this problem and/or know how to fix it?

    Source-related issue. Start recording from the beginning of a match to minimize the chance of this happening.

    Rejoin usually works for me.

    It does for me too, but I'd prefer not to have too, especially if I'm the comm. I was just wondering if there is some easy fix I'm overlooking.

    Nope, this is an annoying bug.
