Cant find this being mentioned here.
With autorecord enabled it does not always start recording at the beginning of the map. Sometimes it does not start at all and sometimes it just starts seemingly very random a while into the game.
Or is there a solution to this that im not aware of?

Never had this problem before. Try toying with the demo record time in the soldat.ini

I know others have this probelm aswell.

autodemo is bugged. It was the easiest way: autodemo on, playing playing playing and stopping the autodemo after you got a great scene. Now this isn't possible any more, so Nukem does not get enough demos. And that is why we need you! You can still easily take demos, even without
autodemo: you set autodemo off in your soldat config, so it doesn't annoy
you anymore. Now you only have to press F8 on the start of a match, so a
"normal" demo starts recording. If you got your great scene in a funwar or
gather or whereever, you just press F8 again to stop the demo.. Important: if you don't stop your demo after having a nice scene, the demo might not work! So don't forget to stop your demo after the great thingy.

I think it's how the demo recording is changed to record in segments?
