I was playing earlier today, and suddenly my game just froze, and the last sound I heard stuttered for about 15 seconds. This happens to me from time to time, and it usually means the game is about to crash. Today though, it took me to a frightening foreign place: Glitchy Granary.
Immediately I was greeted by strange textures I'd never seen before in my life.

Indeed, oddities adorned the whole map. My chat text was completely replaced, save for the letter q, and I think also k and slashes.

The appearance of the medigun beam was especially strange, I soon found out.

In this land, lights are represented by translucent squares.

There were strange metal floors, and golden trim on some pillars, and a great deal of fire everywhere. Is this what hell looks like?

Fire also showed up behind my items in the little weapon selects.

Eventually the floor returned to normal, but the fire remained.

My pickelhaube turned a strange pink color

And a nearby heavy's hounddog turned his entire head black.

The tires outside our spawn room looked most peculiar indeed. And is that... A sea of rectangular fire out behind the fences? This looks most ominous.

Some strange symbols could be seen around the edge of the center point. My god... Are they... Faces? What is this?
[img_thumb]http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2135/faces2.png[/img_thumb]
The scoreboard was completely illegible. Some people's avatars had been corrupted, as well as class icons. Not to mention all the text.

Seen later with even more fire.

Dispensers had quite the odd healing beam as well.

I went to change my loadout, but what's this? The scout class is now some strange-looking triangle? And... How did that image get way off to the right? It seems to have nothing to do with TF2 at all.

I soon found that my killcam had been very strangely altered.

Fire would appear occasionally on the walls, I believe in places where soldiers had fired rockets. Note as well that the sandman ball is now black.

Some objects were now a different color, and odd black speckles appeared in some places on the floor.

An engineer tries to call for a medic, but instead I hear my own name, "Scout!"
[img_thumb]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6005/scouto.png[/img_thumb]
The faces from earlier reappeared. It seems that they are bloody texture files for the soldier.

It seems that this journey to the Glitchy Granary did not stay within the boundaries of TF2. When I returned to Windows, it looked like this:

Glitchy Granary did not want me to escape. Finally, I shut down my computer, fearing that I might never escape. Luckily, it seems to be normal now after restarting. Proper resolution and full color and everything.
That just means that you're textures failed, it happens with some servers just restart the game and it'll work again
I'm guessing overheated graphics card.
Also for the love of god use something other than imageshack.
Your TF2 is possessed by the Devil. Toss your computer outside and bury in a hole that is at least 50 Feet Deep. After that, run away until you see the light at the other end of the tunnel.
I honestly think your GPU fried/you used a skinpack to fool us.
its funny because this is exactly what my first thread was about
If you guys read the thread, I'm not asking for help. The problem went away when I restarted. I just wanted to share pictures.

Card is not overheating,
I have had this personally with my setup before, I fixed it though.
Your using two cards in sli yes?
And you have been updating the drivers you say?!
Well your wrong. You havent updated them ALL.
The motherboard needs its sli drivers updated too.

Maybe not but its going to happen again, and again, and numerous crashes will happen.
the scout symbol over the engie is... nice
[QUOTE=Luxy;22091543]you used a skinpack to fool us.[/QUOTE]
Couldn't be that, because you can see that in some screenshots, textures changed back to normal. I would have to have closed the game, edited textures, then gone back into the same server with those few rearranged textures.
And also climbed back up to the top of the scoreboard after leaving.
I had a problem like this before on cp_labor where all of the textures turned black with a bunch of white text and stuff. Always wondered if there was some way you could induce it.
This always happened with my old 8800gt and i could fix it by alt-tabbing, it's quite funny.
Also Satan Fortress 2
That's normally caused by your GPU resetting which is caused by your graphics card overheating
your graphics card sucks basically
Oh god I lol'd at the "bonk" killcam.
TF2 HELL, complete with fire weapons + bloody people and faces on the walls
I think your video card...
...got [B]bonked.
[/B]
Okay, that sucked. Sorry.
What a lovely place to visit this time of year.
Trippy. Now the question is... How can I do it?
That fire was awesome.
Glitch city
Jesus christ what
Check and see if your GPU is overheating
Fire seems to be the most frequent texture to appear when those bugs happen

Must be close by.
Also, the flaming hologram is awesome.
Your computer has a virus.
Put it in a 43 foot hole in the ground. Bury it completely rocks and boulders should do fine, then burn anything you may have worn at any time you were online.
I want that medigun beam.
I mean look at it, it looks awesome.

Weird Al. Virus Alert.
:hellyeah:
I had the texture glitch in TF2 once, but when I saw the last screen I understood that it's a videocard problem.
someone needs to make this a map.
