strange model problem

[mistermojo]

In the game, half of the player models seem to be shiny white. Soldier, scout, demo, sniper are perfectly fine, but medic, engy, hwy, pyro, spy arent. Here's a picture:


my pc is:

a64 3500+
x850 xt pe
2 gb ram

I tried:

reinstalling the game, downloading it from a different place
messing around with video settings

Anyone know what this could be? And how do I fix it?

I think there are some mat_ / dx forcing commands that help with this, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. I seem to remember caesium mentioning them yesterday, but it could have been someone else. In any case, I'm sure someone will come along and let you know soon

I would say try one of these methods to force your DX to another level. That card should be DX9.0

Force DX level

I had the same problem then i forced dx 8.1 and it works fine now.

The problem is bumpmap and specular were somehow turned off

In the console type:
mat_bumpmap 1
mat_specular 1

You might have to change mat_bumpbasis but to default I can't remember that value, so try those two for now.
