Short description of the problem (255 char limit)

Missing textures providing an unfair advantage for players.
​

What server are you reporting this issue on?

TF2 Hightower
​

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible.

A recently found exploit on the eGO Hightower server allows for players to see through walls if using the Flat Texture Mod.
​

What should be happening instead?

This mod should be disabled, or TEMPORARILY disabling sv_pure until a patch or fix can be found.
​

Please describe how to replicate the bug in as much detail as possible

This flat texture mod: https://gamebanana.com/textures/3942 when put into your TF2 allows for you to see through some models on a map.

Any extra info we may need to know

See link provided for the specific mod, the attached picture shows the worst effect of it. For some reason it won't allow for me to attach a picture. Error code: "trash, you do not have permission to access this page." Here's the filedropper link for it. http://www.filedropper.com/steamuserimages-aakamaihd

[Complete Failure]

This wouldn't be an issue if the sv_pure problems were addressed, as this only occurs in instances where texture replacements are blocked by sv_pure settings. +sv_pure -1 should be set in the server's command line, and any references to sv_pure in the server.cfg should be deleted. Moreover, the pure_server cfg files should be purged. If none of that works, then I suggest reaching out to the broader TF2 community for assistance.

Can you see if this issue has been fixed? We tried a different sv_pure setting to see if that would change the ability to have that mod.

sv_pure is set to -1. Should no longer cause errors. Moving to closed.
