New TF2 issue

[pillar]

Im not sure if its because I was trying to go into a new server, but im getting this error message when I try to go into ANY TF2 server, even near empty ones: Server is enforcing consistency for this file: particle/water_dx80.dcf. Any idea on this issue?

Steam games always randomly spew out nonsensical errors. If it doesn't affect your gameplay (I doubt it will) then I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't know much about TF2 but it'd seem to me that servers are set up to enforce DirectX 8 water effects so no one player has advantages over the other just because they have a DirectX 9 / 10 graphics card or something.

Like existence said, if it doesn't affect your gameplay, don't worry about it

It has nothing to do with you. The servers that you were trying to access simply hadn't updated their server side files yet, so when the server->client information didn't match, it threw out a random error. You shouldn't be having this issue anymore except for maybe a few select servers which are slow to update.

hmmm... im still getting the problem here, even on our servers.

And when i exit, i get an error message that says that my piece of ---- compy couldn't read the memory for TF2.

I do not have the ability to join any server because of the water texture problem

It's because there's another update tonight - last night it was fixed fast, should be this time too.

I'm getting this error from our servers. Also, half of our servers dropped off of my favorites.

I'm still getting this error no matter where I connect. On my end, I have re-installed TF2 from scratch on 3 different O/S's: Xp, Vista 64 and Windows 7 - getting this error every time. Getting rather frustrated...Hope they get this fixed...
