Client-side demos will never work.

Thats a really good point. FYI I have a few friends who started playing (2k4) only after seeing a few good frag movies... also on that note, they won't touch UT3.
I was REALLY hoping to actually be able to demorec in the upcoming patch. Not supporting it at all is (truly) an epic failure.
Can we just label this game as a trainwreck and move on?
Wow. Just when I thought the game couldn't be shot full of holes any more than it already has been...

This must be so that cheaters can not get better by watching the demos to cover up there bots....

Well they worked to the point that they were viewable in UT - 2004 as a game play demo. But this is just pathetic.
Please define the difference between 'exists' and 'supported', because atm you're discussion with terms that can be very stretched up by definition.
The difference lies in the possibility [or lack of] of.....complaining.
Well, in this way somebody might say that Epic forum exists, but it's not supported
dub asked you to support your contention that clientsides in 2k4 were thoroughly buggy. Your response is a non-response; you've essentially declined to support your contention other than to insist "I'm right".
I probably watched a few hundred hours of demorecs in UT2k4. In all that time, the only problem I encountered was that shuttling forward via the GUI (the demoviewing buttons) would hang the demo. The arrow keys always worked perfectly fine, however, so that bug was easy to work around.
The fact remains that ("lots of little bugs" aside
) UT2k4's clientside demos were perfectly adequate for personal improvement, community sharing, moviemaking, and anti-cheat purposes. UT3's clientside demos are inadequate for each of these purposes. I'm impressed that Epic has found yet another way to distinguish UT3 from every other AAA multiplayer game on the market.

Just means you can type "demorec" and it will "work".
I never contended that UT2004's system was bad or that the bugs interfered with it's usefulness.dub asked you to support your contention that clientsides in 2k4 were thoroughly buggy.

But it DID have lots of issues, things like the lack of ability to rewind, to set camera tweens like RypelCam eventually included, the ability to see partially occluded activity, seeing certain weapons on yourself and on enemies, weapon fire sometimes not showing properly or at all, seeing who is carrying the flag. Yes, none of those certainly break client side demos, but they are all issues that "should have been fixed".
The current state of client side demorec simply reminds me of UT2003 (which, iirc, didn't have supported demorec from launch either).
"Not supported" + closed thread... I don't know what/how to say really. I was sad lately because of UT3 and it doesn't seem to likely to go away.
I always considered this to be basic feature. :-(

but at least its administrated
kind of ironic - a few months ago we had a discussion whether or not ut3 will have the ability to rewind demos. Looks like in the end we don't even have the ability to record em! o well..
o well..
yeah, pathetic......we certainly couldnt expect a revolution coming with UT3.
but this is not even an evolution, it's 2 steps backwards! shame tho

*eh* you don't have support for *client-side* demos.
So server-side demos should still work.
And if all fails there's always stuff like fraps or recording straight to VCR, isn't there ?
(I still wonder why it's primary command is "demo-wreck" ...)

server side only is teH ****.....u need an admin on the server for instance, ss demorecording decreases the server's performance (could eventually cause lags / higher pings), and just because someone has adminlogin passwords it doesn't mean that guy also has ftp-access, too.
so for my client side recording is essential for a competetive fps game....
