Tell him to try to replicate, and so we can report it to the devs yo.

Looks pretty sweet

it looks like anime

a+ config, he's a genius

This looks like the clean tf2 config jarate king made here: https//teamfortress.tv/thread/21756/prism-hud-amp-clean-tf2

I totally misinterpreted the thread title. I thought it said: "WTF happened to my friends, TF2?" In that you were asking the community what happened to all the friends you once had but now are gone.

jesus christ this looks so cool, too bad it wont work on sv_pure 2

Or will it? My friend said he is using the same config I'm using (one thats popular on tf.tv, a modded chris's), which definitely does NOT do any of that. So AFAIK all the strange looking textures were rendered that way in error.

its clean tf2

Looking at the console dump, something fucked up with the textures, or it's just Clean TF2, one of the two

Lod_bias?

It's definitely clean tf2. That's exactly how it looks like (note how some props don't have flat materials so you know it's not a lod thing, or how that soldier's burning hat's fire particles looked) and that's exactly the same error message spew you get from using it (from using a basic shader to both get rid of lighting and to increase fps, which also doesn't support a lot of the fancy stuff more advanced shaders use, fortunately only giving off errors).

It unfortunately won't work in sv_pure anymore, but I mean there's no harm in using it for when you do run into sv_pure 0 servers.

Definitely NOT clean tf2. He used a pastebin of the same config I use. Secondly, this has only happened to him once since he started using the config where it rendered those textures that way. The end result may be similar to "clean tf2" but that's not what he's using... I just wanted to make it clear that this is the result of the game not loading some textures properly for some strange reason.

his video card is going out, rip

That could be what's happening. When my old video card was on its way out, TF2 would sometimes suddenly have a midlife crisis and try to remake itself. Usually the game would freeze and make a odd noise just before my world went crazy. Is that happening at all to your friend?

Also, if anyone is interested, here are a few of the best screenshots from when it happened:

50 Shades of Double Cross
Blue days
The floor is lava
Coding gibberish makes for interesting wallpaper
Screenshots as hats
Backpack = work of art

And as a bonus, here are two times my failing graphics card made L4D2 actually horrifying:

The walls are watching
What little Boomers are made of

Clean tf2 isn't a config, it's a mod. Make your friend check his custom folder for it. In any case, it certainly looks like clean tf2.

Reminds me of the accidental wallhack I got back in 2011:

Never happened again.

It's to-the-pixel clean tf2. Hypothetically, the lighting probably could've accidentally happened by a random gpu glitch or tweak, but which materials are and aren't flat, what colors they become when they are flat, how the fire particles work, what props to remove (the grass), etc. would have no way to be identical. And those error messages are exactly what you'd see when using the mod, nothing more and nothing less. The end result isn't similar, it's literally the same thing dude.

Sorry to disappoint but dying video cards, gpu tweaks, and engine glitches just don't give you those exact results, and definitely not that exactly. You could get sorta similar things, but those graphics are literally exactly what clean tf2 does. Probably some mixup somewhere, maybe he got comanglia's cfg from my thread and thought both of them together were his "cfg" and then got confused when it only showed up on sv_pure 0 servers, idk, but I'm 100% sure that's clean tf2.

old video card failing lol

Punctuation saves lives.

To be honest, this looks like a transparent HL2 citadel wall texture for me
