In some demos, the chats are no longer visible, neither are the HUD and the crosshair - even the "following player XXX" was gone. All demos after that one (in the same session) were the same way.
To check if it really changed my overall settings I created a local server and all seemed fine (HUD, chats, crosshair).
But now my name had changed into the name of the player I viewed in the last netdemo...
Has anyone noticed the same thing?
And is there a way to prevent this from happening (I'd like to watch netdemos with my own settings, if possible).
