There has been an issue with recording demos on the server for quite some time as I recall. Might try  a third party software to record demos like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). You can get it here:

 

https://obsproject.com/.

 

It is great software that many in the Unit have used to make videos with if you need any help with settings.

This appears to be a server issue (in particular our server). This may be a server setting of some sort. What we've found out is that it always crashes when he gets his first kill in our server. I then had him try three things:

 

1. Demo in a privately hosted server and get a kill/play

2. Demo in a Euro server and get a kill/play

3. Demo in an American server and get a kill/play

 

All of them worked flawlessly. So it is apparently an issue with the 1st MRB server settings. What that particular setting (or settings) might be I don't know. Also demo_debug was not working.

Before I retired, I had been planning to nuke the server and re-install everything since that seemed to be the only way to fix the demo issue as far as I was able to research.  I was just unable to set aside the time to back up everything and do so.

 

As far as I know, a complete re-install of the server is the only way to go for this demo issue.  Even the Gameservers support recommended either reinstalling the server or moving to a different server box.
