Since the update I can't watch any demos. I've noticed that the updates has changed files around and now CSS cstrike is under the common folder.

This is the error message I get every time I try to watch a demo

"DataTable warning: No matching RecvTable for SendTable 'DT_BaseAttributableItem'.

Host_Error: DataTable_ParseClientTablesFromBuffer failed."

I tried verifying game cache, still got the problem. any ideas?


I sent an email to Steam Support as multiple people have told me they also have this issue.


Here's the response from Steam on viewing demos
