Playing DEM files in CS:GO is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. First, make sure your .dem file is in the correct folder, usually it's the 'csgo' folder inside your game's installation directory. Then, launch CS:GO and open the console (you might need to enable this in the game settings first by going to Game Settings > Game > Enable Developer Console). Once the console is open, type 'playdemo [filename]' without the brackets and hit enter. Remember to replace '[filename]' with the actual name of your demo file. And boom, you're watching your game!

Seriously, who watches demos? Just play the game, you'll learn faster. 🙃

Just drag and drop your DEM files into the csgo folder, pop open the console in-game, and type 'playdemo' followed by the file name. Ezpz.
