so my laptop kinda bad and i followed the guide and was able to record demos.
i checked the demos folder in source unpacks folder, and it's there, the folder named date-time and inside are .dem files
pretty sure those are demo files right ?

so can i just submit a run with this demo files or do i have to playback and record a video ?

you can submit a run with only demos. ive done it with a few of my runs

From the game rules - "All runs HAVE to be submitted with some sort of proof in form of a video or demos." "Runs cannot be submitted with only demo proof if the game is paused mid-run."

In other words, YES, you can submit with just demos

okay got it, thanks for the help!

dont put the link to your demos in the space for a video link, put it in the description instead. saves the verifiers a headache.

If you have any more questions in the future, I highly recommend joining the discord server that you can find on the tabs to the left. It'll be way more convenient to ask questions or discuss things there rather than using these forums.
