Particles not showing up

For about a week now I have been unable to see any particles in-game. This includes medibeams, projectile trails, jarate on a player and such. A friend told me it was because the new AMD drivers fuck things up, and said I should install an older one. I forgot which exact version he told me to download, so I'm wondering if anyone here also has had this issue and can link me to the right version of the driver.

Installed, still can't see particles.
Also realised that i can't see if a player has popped crits... might be handy to see

Try using the 16.8 drivers. Those are the ones I downgraded to and they worked fine for me. AMD disabled DX8 support in their latest drivers so you either get the old drivers or play with DX9

Enabled dx9 instead, works as expected. If the look of dx9 throws me off after playing on dx8 for so long, i'll download the 16.8 drivers. Thanks for your help.

I remember being frustrated a month ago about smoke trails not showing for rockets under DX8.
Wouldn't have thought of downgrading GPU drivers, so thanks for that man.
