Open console, and type

"bind f5 jpeg"

It'll take Screenshots in the "steamapps/(acctname)/teamfortress/tf/screenshots" folder in jpeg format.

Yep I know exactly what you're talking about. I was on mesa the other day and my screen lagged. Everything then turned like a blackish-orange and there was the volume symbol lining every wall, ceiling, and floor. XD

It's a very rare occurrence for me, but I do get those occasional anomalies also. It happened to me on Cashworks. A couple of my textures started going buggy and black. I've had a couple of other instances in the distant past, but they were so long ago and I can't remember anything about them that they hardly count.

In any case, usually if I restart TF2 and log back into the server, it resolves itself. Somewhere along the line, the graphics card and the game stop talking for a brief moment and that results in the card losing some information.

If it's happening an awful lot then I would suggest you update your graphics drivers. Either go to your PC's manufacturer website and check for the video drivers there, or look up your specific graphics card model for the drivers. If you need any further guidance with finding them, then feel free to ask.

The doors on 2fort were sideways for me and the meters for point capping on other maps sometimes have black and other various messed up textures, but this doesnt occur all the time rather quite rarely.

Alt+tabbing out aside, I don't really get graphic problems. The main ones for me are when I'm on an eGO server, and I can't swap out my scout weapons for other scout weapons. I can for other classes but not scout. Then I go to a different server and it's ok. Oh hey, is that your problem, do you alt+tab/go to windows some other way?

hmmm i am getting one that has only come up recently that shows enemydemo men with their grenade launcher through their stomach.

With Valve games, anything and everything can and will occur. I keep holy water nearby just in case.

What does Alt+tabbing out aside do? and yeah the scout thing has happened to me to, i just went to another map and it worked fine.

The only type of errors, I usually get are graphics card overheat issues where water turns to white lines when I play for a while...

ever since running windowed mode with the -noborder launch option, my graphical glitches have minimized... outside of the occassional highly inconenient complete freeze which lasts about 15 seconds. this usually occurs during possession of the flag, 1 second after an uber is activated on me, or in l4d, while battling the tank

before running windowed mode, i had all sorts of glitches (especially when alt-tabbing out), including invisible opponents. there was no end to the weirdness
