Ragdolls don't have any cosmetics in demos

My problem is that people's ragdolls simply don't spawn with cosmetics upon death while I'm playing a demo file. This issue has been tested with both first person and STV demos.
Ragdolls work fine while playing a live game, so this must a demo related issue...

A friend of mine suggested that it could be caused by some recent TF2 update (probably within the last 3-4 months, since back then he wroked on a project where ragdolls worked just fine).

So does anyone have a solution to this or maybe knows the cause for this?

this issue occurred after the vscript update with several other demo playback related issues.
newer demos are unaffected while pre vscript are.
the only "solution" I found is to download an older client of tf2.

Thanks for the help! I completely forgot you could use older versions of TF2!

In fact I found out that it is simpler than I thought, since TF2 has a beta version called "pre_smissmass_2022_demos", which was literally made for this very purpose...

So for anyone else wondering about this issue, just select the above mentioned beta version of TF2 and you're good to record older demo's.
