I played tf2 today and everything was fine, I could see smoke trails and heal beams, but after I downloaded new drivers for my graphics card (AMD Radeon (TM) R7 360) and I booted up tf2, I went to warm up and I realised I can't see rocket trails, so I went to check for other stuff and I found out I can't see heal beams as well.
It's really annoying not to see rocket trails as its hard to dodge the rockets.

If anyone knows how to fix this and if its even connected to my graphics card please let me know.

Its a recent problem for amd cards, you have to roll back old drivers for it to be fixed

More people have reported this problem for dx8 AMD cards.
On dx9 the rocket trails work with the current drivers, otherwise you need to roll back to the previous drivers if you want to keep using dx8.
