OK...Occasionally....about 50% of the time when I play multiplayer, Some of the opponents look like this:

I think this happens whenever someone on the server is using a model I don't have. When this happens, shouldn't there be an option to make that person default their model to, say, a combine soldier or something on my end so it doesn't look so f*ck*d up? IT is the freaking weirdest thing to see in motion. Again....I think I can only see models I have installed.....wtf is my problem?

edit: I googled and steampowered this problem with no results

double edit: Oh..and also certain weapons (the grav weapon in particular) will also occasionally have a purple tint over them....

crono, its been a couple years since i owned an nVidia card, it was a 440MX i think, but i never successfully installed new drivers without completely removing the old ones. if that info is no longer valid i apologize, but it used to be true.

the fact that you have had different results does not belie my statement however. :/

I wasn't doubting that it was used correctly...I know it was....I just have....never heard that word before . therefore obscure....therefore.....
