I downloaded a demo off of challenge-tv and extracted it to my Q4 base folder. When I entered the game and tried to play the demo it stopped and gave me this message in the console...

Game Map Shutdown
Stopped Demo Playback
ERROR: Failed to spawn entity with classname 'player_ui_anims' of type 'idPlayer'

What should I do?

Maybe play the full game you supposedly own.

It could be that the demo is calling a mod or map which he doesn't have installed too.

Yeah I'm talking out of my ass since I haven't actually run a demo in Q4 yet but it would stand to reason.
