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
