Do we have to start recording demos at the very first frame of the first map? I know there should be a way to open the console on the first frame by clicking the console hotkey at a specific point in the loading screen, but it never works for me. Is the run going to get rejected if I start recording the demos a few frames into the map?

use sar and srconfigs, makes it easy to record demos and a LOT of other stuff

Thanks, helped a lot!
