When I watched this, the guy died on MAP17, then came back to life, and went all retarded! He kept running into walls and shooting blindly. What the hell went wrong?
You need to be using a completely unmodified Doom2 iwad version 1.9 (trying getting a fresh copy from your installation disk; if you warezed it, you're out of luck; if you bought your copy in the early days, then you might have version 1.666, in which case you need to patch it up to 1.9), and you need to be using an executable that doesn't break demo compatibility. That would be: Doom2.exe 1.9 (not Doom95, not Ultimate Doom or Final Doom), Prboom-plus, Prboom, Chocolate-Doom or Eternity.
If you continue to have problems, please state the following:
The exact size of your Doom2.wad file, in bytes (not kilobytes, not megabytes)
Exactly which executable you are using (name, version number, and file size in bytes).

P.S. Yes smooth turning makes it easier to watch but on the other hand sometimes the player appears to move or fire in a really odd direction! I guess you just take your pick, really.
That's true, and personally I don't use it when watching demos - I prefer to see the movement as it actually is. But if you start to feel sick when watching it that way, it makes sense to switch!
