Hey guys, I have recently had a problem with my game where I cannot see anything that has a crit animation to it. Whever it be a kritzkrieg, random crits, mini crits and not even a headshot.

On classes like sniper or in a situation where I am recieving crits I feel like this has been an advantage for me as there is less visual clutter and my frames dont drop as much, but when I am on the recieving end of critz I cannot see that they have pop nor a crit sticky lying on the ground!

So yeah I need help to fix this, in a perfect world to make it so I cant see headshots but as long as I can see an enemy kritzing ill be fine.

Thanks

Oh wait, I thought you just meant the words Critical Hit weren't appearing. It sounds like your tf_weapon_(name).txt files might be doing that, same way you get VTF crosshairs or no explosion smoke scripts. Have you recently installed anything like that or changed your hud?

When I shoot my rockets theres no trail just the rocket head, so yes I think to your question.

Yes I am using amd at directx 8, I dont see rocket trails and well I am not sure about the smaller medigun particles but I cant see the skipping rope so to speak. When I create frag clips it comes back because obviously it goes back to the stock hud when you use lawena. Like would rolling back my drivers really help this?

Thanks for your help so far guys!

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\(folder name)\scripts and see if there are a bunch of files named tf_weapon_(weapon name).txt, if so try deleting them (back them up) and see if that fixes it

If not then see other suggestion about amd drivers - you should be able to find them through here. I personally am using a driver from August 2015 and it seems fine.

You could also just launch the game in dx9 and see if that fixes the problem, it would show you're on the right track
