The procedure here should work for the demo too I think:

What's the advantage of running a dedicated server vs. Just hosting a game? I've never run a ded. server.

Dedicated server gives you proper physics. The 125fps jumps and all that. Otherwise, you have to shift your cap from 125 to 142 or something.

On top of that: if you record a demo on your own listen server, it will play back at 20 FPS (assuming you use sv_fps 20). Unless you set sv_fps to 125.

well, for the sake of watching demos you probably only need sv_fps 60 or 80. easier to run a dedicated.
