I'm not sure but it might have something to do with you not having the correct server packages installed. Ie You need to have exacttly the same software on your UT that the person recording it had. Tho I never heard of that causing a crash before.

Basically UT dies on you when you try to play back a demo that requires something which you dont have on your computer.

To find out what you are missing, after the crash, check your Unrealtournament.log. Located in your Unrealtournament\System folder.

Scroll down to where you have a lot of
Code:
Warning: Received invalid actor class


You can find out what you are missing by just looking at the top...

Code:
