DX8 - crash to desktop no error

Today's TF2 update is causing me to crash to desktop with no error under DX81. Same result with DX80.

DX9 works, but the in-game graphics are very washed out, making it difficult to see players far away, as they blend into the fog. For example: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/36370312386103616/6136FAD38766CCF735EEFC9BAB48EC24E85D0F69/

Any ideas as to making DX8 work? If not, any suggestions on settings to eliminate this fogginess and make the blue/red of the players easier to see? I have a GTX 970 and am using the latest driver (350.12). I've inserted Comanglia's full graphic config directly into the end of my autoexec.cfg.

I had the same thing: I crashed to desktop with no dialog. It turns out that there was something in cowmanglia's config that was doing it. I use dx81 and after I removed a jumble of stuff that isn't in the original config, it was fixed.

Good to know I'm not the only one, please let me know if you figure out how you fixed it.

GibusYou have a gtx 970 why are you running dx8

I've always had trouble with the washed out look under DX9. It's basically unplayable, too foggy to see everything you need to see.

Try Putting fog_enable 0 in your config

Try Putting fog_enable 0 in your config

Cheat command requiring sv_cheats 1, per the console.

DX9 is unplayable with this haze. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/36370312389046270/BFCAF73311C7E7E732D75A5D5F222A79D4A185AC/

what the fuck I've never seen that issue

Color correction? Maybe prod around Google with "tf2 remove fog"?
