Just drag and drop the DEM file into CS:GO's csgo folder. Open the console in-game, type 'playdemo', add your file name, and hit Enter. EZPZ.

Opening DEM files in CS:GO is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. First, you need to place your DEM file in the 'csgo' folder within your CS:GO installation directory. Then, launch CS:GO, open the console by pressing `~`, and type 'playdemo' followed by the name of your DEM file. For example, if your file is called 'awesome_match.dem', you’d type 'playdemo awesome_match'. And voila, you're watching your demo!

Honestly, just upload it to YouTube. Who even watches demos in-game anymore?

I had a bit of trouble figuring this out at first but can confirm the dragging and dropping method works flawlessly. Make sure you’re putting the DEM file in the correct directory, though. I messed that up the first time and was super confused why it wasn’t working.
