whenever I try to play demos and I try to jump to a specific tick it always crashes on me, usually putting an error in console like "unknown identity" (most of the time)

Quite old Problem. See here

Has anyone else been encountering this issue lately? Could it be something related to me switching to windows 10 recently? Anyone know how to fix it?

Would appreciate some feedback, thanks.

Code:
Host_Error: CL_PreserveExistingEntity: missing client entity  #NUMBER


a workarount is to type demo_pauseatservertick 15000 for example if you wanted to go to tick 15000
and then you can type demo_timescale 500 first time it may only go to 6 times speed but if you type that command again it will fast forward more.

In a few short moments you should be at how many ticks u wanted and then u can start watching the ticks at low speed or record it if you really need to go over every little bit of the demo.

Maybe someone here does know of an actual fix though?

im pretty sure if you try to use the demoui to go to a certain tick it just doesn't work, just a css thing i think. maybe someone else knows more than me though

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
A demo with 90000 ticks can work totally fine or not.
Last demo worked to to tick 4000 of 90000.
Previous demo worked all 70000 ticks.

A demo with 10000 ticks can also work or not.

Strange.

The Workround is nice. But I guess you are right.
Valve wont fix any tick-bug anyhow.
