Hey all,

I just downloaded and set up HLAE for use with Lawena to smooth some demos for a project im coming up on.
I have a problem where when I start TF2 from Lawena (with HLAE) I load into game fine, but when i try to play a demo through either playdemo or demoui, the game instantly crashes.

Do I need to use an older version of HLAE? I'm using the latest. Lawena settings are pretty much standard; dx 98, 240fps, 1920x1080 no custom stuff enabled except a script to enable new binds for mirv commands (it was crashing before i installed this cfg).

If anyone has had any problem similar any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: The problem comes directly from HLAE. Lawena works fine without it but I would like the extra smoothing features of HLAE.

Is it a pov or stv demo? Have you tried playing other demos?
Does it return any error message?

Yeah I've tried a couple of demos. They're only POV demos. I'll try some STV ones.
Is there a console in lawena where i can view any errors? or are there crash logs in the tf folder?

EDIT: stv demos also crash

From the HLAE FAQ page:

HLAE FAQ PageThe game crashes / crashes upon recording / HLAE crashes / doesn't seem too hook (I see no message in the console):

-Updates to the game (when not in Steam's Offline mode) may break HLAE. Make sure you have the latest HLAE version and that your game is fully up to date

-Make sure that you have extracted all files from the download into a folder you like (i.e. on your Desktop).

-Start the game without HLAE once so that Steam has a chance to update the files, then try with HLAE again.

-Make sure you are not signed in any BETA: First right click the game in Steam library, select Properties and check the BETAS tab. Then do the same for any modification you have installed. Be sure to let Steam complete the updating of the game(s) in case you have to sign out of the BETA(s).
