Too Weird

Post by <eVa>Verman » Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:44 am

Am getting some strange in-game incidents that are starting to worry me:

Sometime during a side change, some of my team suddenly are wearing uniforms of the other color;
I see Scouts killing me with flamethrowers and grenade guns;
I see an erect, vertical flamethrower moving around without a person holding it.

Now it is not a hangover from the LI-IT's I had in Vegas last weekend, and it is not an LSD flashback from the 70's.

Just curious if maybe my PC is telling me its time for a new one.

I think something like that happened to me before. I think you might need to update/re-install TF2 before it goes away. I got lucky and the game got patched soon after it happened, so it went away quickly... but I'm still not sure what happened.

It gets even weirder.
When it does happen: Most of the other players (red & blue) take on the role of Scout. Funny to see them with healing guns and/or wrenches banging away on SG's.
If I exit the game, then re-enter, everything returns to normal.

Sounds like you got some dust in your Team Fortress 2 cartridge. Blow into the connections a bit and see if that helps.

lol Carpe.

Verman, I have seen the same thing on a few occasions, and a restart fixes it for me. I have also heard otehr people reporting the same thing.

I don't think that it's a computer issue - I think it's a TF2 client side issue. I wouldn't worry about it at all - just restart, and you are good to go.
