Flat Textures Problem

EDIT: The solution is to not use the Flat World Textures pack hosted on gamebanana; instead, use the Solid Colored Texture pack included in the FPS Improvement Compilation, which is much more complete and does not cause this issue.

I am trying to use flat textures, but I keep experiencing visual issues like this:
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/921270022755141587/1A711BC46388F1447E7B0B454E408476AF36B67B/

This seems to happen on sv_pure 2 servers; the textures work fine on sv_pure 0.

A comment on the download page said to include -dxlevel 81 in the launch options, which did not fix the issue for me.

Any help is much appreciated.

been using the Flat Textures since I found out about them on clockwork's stream. most of my attention goes towards what I'm doing instead of looking at the map textures. I'm always looking for people to kill/be killed by.

sv_pure 2
forces the client to ignore ALL user content, and instead forces them to use the information supplied by Steam. While this is the most secure, sv_pure 2 will prevent the use all custom skins/models and even custom sprays.

They won't work at all on sv_pure 2. Errors are quite common when playing on pure 2 with custom content. It's one of the reasons why I don't use that kind of stuff.

How does sv_pure 2 and comp relate? Is it used at all in any config or for dm/mge? or is it only the random pub server that has it.

AyRi'm pretty sure the thing shouldn't work at all on sv_pure 2, given that sv_pure 2 means no custom materials etc. regardless, have you tried reinstalling the pack? is there anything in particular, or any particular texture that brings it on? or is it just random?

It confused me too, as my sticky bomb and pipe material edits do not work at all on sv_pure 2 servers, yet all the pub sv_pure 2 servers I play on cause this issue.

This is about the third or fourth time I've reinstalled the pack over a year or so and I've removed it due to this issue every time. I have no idea if it's any particular texture causing it.
