Yeah this has also always bugged me, hopefully someone will know.

Are you a modder by any chance trying to fix this? :p

Well mostly it's because you need several config files running to control where the replays are saved and how (ftp/html) and where to download them from (which webhost for FTP).

Listen servers run a single config for a local game. So none of that works.

Apparently you can pseudo-hack it but if it comes to it, depending what you need Replay for, you could just temporarily run a HLDS on your machine and setup the necassery configs for that.

Nope. I'm not a modder.

Do you mean running HLDS and TF2 at the same time?
BTW that's the answer i would expect. Thanks!

I'd recommend running it on a seperate machine if you can, like if another family member has a machine, run HLDS on that and connect via your machine.

Running a server from your machine takes a lot of system resources and connecting to it from the same machine will certainly have its fair share of performance issues.

i've ran dedicated server on my laptop that i was connected to. had 0 problems even while having me, tech, steffo, some random f2p, 20 bots, sv_cheats 1 and tachyon logic on there :p

It depends on the amount of memory on your computer. For instance, a friend of mine can run a listen server with up to 15 bots without any noticeable decrease in framerate, whereas I can't have a server with more than 7 because then my framerate goes all horrible, and dedicated servers just lag.
