Hi. I've been playing TF2 competitively for a couple of years, though I've never been in an open team. I have a 144hz monitor, I feel like my DM is alright and I'm not absolutely terrible overall. I need to work on my 6s gamesense and playing in actual games instead of lobbies.

My schedule's pretty open in the evenings. Given a time, I can usually make time. I'm EST so usually from 9pm + is going to be good. I like to play TF2 every night so lots of scrims is not a problem.

I've played in competitive Highlander as spy (yes, I know) and this season we got 3rd place in Silver. Give me a tryout before writing me off as a crappy spy main plz.

So up til recently, my demos were playing perfectly fine. Just a while ago, I started to have this problem where when I play the demo, weird stuff would happen. If it was my own demo, my screen would be locked into looking at one direction, and my view would only update every time I pressed m1. For example, on a rollout in gullywash, I'd start in spawn, looking at the back wall. After 5 seconds or so, I would still be looking at the back wall, unable to change direction. Once I pressed m1, the view would immediately shift to where my player would be at at that particular moment in time, but the camera would still be looking in the same direction as before, in this example, towards spawn.

Additionally, when watching STV demos like of LAN or an ESEA match, I can't shift to any player views by pressing m1, even after I close the demoui and the match goes live. I've tried number keys, which don't work either.

I have a suspicion that my config MIGHT have something to do with it.

This is part of the config, if it helps.
