Materials glitching

leilei · 11-14-2007, 01:23 AM

Occassionally, after a long time of playing Well (over an hour), certain models materials loaded in the game are reduced to a black and white environment map material. Weapons and players.

This causes team colors to not show (hwguy all shiny and chromy of white and black is annoying)

Also it happens with names of scout tracking boxes and even the box itself, causing them to appear as black bars.

Some spray decals were also reduced to a black bar

Oddly while all this happened, I was unable to take screenshots.

It's unfortnuate and weird, but they do very exist.

I personally doubt the video card even matters, especially since ATI sponsors Valve for the game. I blame Source's icky material handling when it comes to on-the-fly caching.

My audio was fine, then again I have sound acceleration set to basic.

I'm glad i'm not the only one having the issue.

There's also the occassional renegade particle emitter. Muzzleflashes do this too. Probably unavoidable considering Source.

I get purple and black checkered textures on some parts of well when there is a spam fest going on in the yards. Sometimes I have random rag dolls fall in front of me too. Not cool considering its a feature of the spy. I also get the rag doll thing in other mods and I think its just lag.

Usually that means that your system resources are overtaxed. Lower some settings or upgrade your rig.

whats your beef with source? W/e, but the only time i get these errors (i get the same stuff) is only in FF, any other Source game is fine.

It's entirely hacky.

It helps the Dev's and other veteran forum users/leaders a lot if you post your pc specs with issues like this. Also one of The [AE] Clan members found out that AVG running in the back ground was fucking with steam.
