I've already asked Tacheon but he hasn't replied yet, but I'd figure I'd post a topic, too.

I love Team Fortress 2 but I'm starting to get really fed up with the way it's acting.

First, the textures. The colors are wrong, like for the classes. They'll be really dark so I can't see what color they are and know if they're an enemy or not unless I put my mouse over them.
Second, the freezing. Now TF2 does this, a lot. usually if there are a lot of people on a map it freezes and I have to shut down that program because it won't itself. And when it loads maps it usually freezes in the middle of loading it, too, so it takes awhile to actually be able to play it. And then right before it's done loading the screen becomes a red tint (sometimes with another loading screen that you can barely see over the one that was already there)
It skips a lot, too. This is usually what makes it freeze.
Now, this one is fairly recent. My textures are really messed up. At first it was fine, and then it froze. I played a little bit of HL2 and after that I played some more TF2. When I loaded a map, it was all disco-rainbow-Willy Wonka-like. I can't see where I'm going, and the classes are still so dark I can't see who's who.

I'm thinking it might be my computer since it's not a gaming computer but I don't have any other computer to play it on unless it can play on a Mac.

Btw, here's an example of my textures for the last one. I'll try to get a screen shot of the classes.

Hey, how about telling her what's wrong with her computer that it's having acid trips?

you did, someone unlocked it to post in it from the looks of things. e__e

TP Zelda

Oh pooh.  :P

Well it seems to be on and off, the textures. x_x

Fishalicious

yeah, sorry, I wish I could help. :c I don't know a whole lot about PC gaming at all... it might be your video card going out or something, though.

TP Zelda

Lol no worries. :3
It probably is, I guess it's either hating these games or it's just starting to get really worn out or both XP
I mean I've used the heck out of this computer for about 4 years. Sooo...

...or something. XD

Right, because your post was so helpful.  Hence my post.

Try upgrading your graphics card.  A lot of higher-end graphics cards are selling for cheap nowadays.

TP Zelda

Lol I can't, I have a laptop with integrated graphics. XP

Keaton

Eh, most laptops can be upgraded, you just have to be careful.  They have special kinds of graphics cards, but they're still available if you look.

Tach, I can't keep up with your name changes. Go play Gaia Online, foul scum!

This topic is about TF2 being messed up.  If you don't have anything to contribute to the topic on hand then don't post here.  This is the second time we've had to remind you that this is a GD topic.  Don't let it happen again.
