Demos

‘’‘Download & manage your demos conveniently in the CKRAS webinterface’‘’

We have created a demo archive for all CKRAS customers, so you can manage, download and share your demos with friends/opponents, this feature is available completely free of charge for every CS2 gameserver. https://www.ckras.com/

---

In order for a demo to be made available in the webinterface, the CSTV/GOTV must also be activated in the web interface, see here in the CSTV/GOTV Guide how to do this.

We recommend that you use the pre-installed Scrim/Prac tool MatchZy for the automatic demo recording of your games, this tool is available on every CS2 gameserver.

Create demo download

To make the demo available as a download link, you must click on the ‘Create download’ link. The demo will be available in the web interface after approx. 60 seconds. If the page does not refresh, please press ‘F5’ once to refresh the cache.

Note: A demo that has not yet been created as ‘created’ in the web interface and has previously been deleted manually on the FTP cannot be used for the demo share.

Demo download

If you would like to download the CSTV/GOTV demo, simply click on the ‘Demo’ button. The file will be made available to you as a ZIP file. In this file you will also find a readme that explains once again in which folder you have to copy the demo so that you can view it without any problems. See also Where do the demo files have to go.

Share demo

You can easily copy the created demos to the clipboard with the ‘Copy link’ and then share them with your friends/opponents, the link structure looks something like this: ‘https://demos.ckras.com/linkabc391deiaa’.

Demo availability

The webinterface shows you how long the demo is available.

General: Demos are automatically deleted from the gameserver after 8 days.

A demo made available in the webinterface Create demo download is available for a further 8 days after the ‘creation date’, the final and irrevocable deletion date is displayed in the webinterface (see image). The deletion date here always refers to the ‘creation date of the download’, this has nothing to do with the demo on the game server, which, as already mentioned, is automatically and irrevocably deleted after 8 days.

Where do the demo files have to go

The downloaded demo files only need to be unpacked and copied into the CS2 directory on the computer .

’‘Default:’‘

Go to ‘Program Files (x86)’ → ‘Steam’ → ‘steamapps’ → ‘common’ → ‘Counter-Strike Global Offensive’ → ‘game’ → ‘csgo’ → ‘insert .dem file(s)’

’‘or find via Steam Client:’‘

Click Libary in Steam -> ‘CounterStrike’-> ‘Properties’ -> ‘Installed Files’ -> ‘Browse’ -> ‘game’ -> ‘csgo’ -> ‘insert .dem file(s)’

How to view a demo

You can start the demo in the CS2 console (activate the developer console in the game settings and press the Open console button). Here you only need to add the start parameter -console, then you can start the demo with the command ’‘playdemo “filename”’.

Command: “”playdemo name’'
