I'm Getting Blury Screen Overlay That Wont Go Away [READ ME]

Post by Fire »

To anyone who has heard of people having this issue:

If you have ever heard of someone complaining about someone getting a blury overlay that wont go away this will explain why it happens and how to fix it.

^Detailed report here if unsure.

A server admin decided to make a file called 0.vmt which can be found here:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\materials

Freak and other mods or even maps might use overlays on players. To clear the overlay when it needs to be cleared the command "r_screenoverlay 0" is used. However, because someone made a file called 0.vmt using 0 in that command points to that file and causes the blurry screen.


I have added a fix to the one Freak plugin which uses the "r_screenoverlay 0" command on roundend every round to use random numbers. However, if you have this issue and go on any other server or if a map or another plugin uses "r_screenoverlay 0" this issue will persist.

To fix go to the file path and delete that 0.vmt file. If people say they can't find it just have them delete the entire materials folder (they will just have to redownload from servers they play on no big deal). Then have them restart TF2.

Does anyone know which server or group of servers created 0.vmt?
