works great so far, its pretty hard to understand comms when it gets messy due to the tf2 voice chat filter but wcyd.

an issue that i came across is that the voices recorded by discord become alien noise for a few seconds every now and then, but it's an OBS thing (and im not sure how to fix it)

this is a great tool that i will definitely be using, ty

i tried debugging the crash in vs and it says its a thread error but i don't think its a system issue

I can't load into mge servers like spaceship or ugc or chillypunch servers running mge_training_v8_beta4b or mge_chillypunch_final4_fix2.

Whenever I join I connect just fine, but after I properly load the map in game, after a split second, my game crashes entirely. I have already tried out a lot, there's some of the things I've tried but no no matter what, the behaviour as described above still happens:
-I have tried deleting the maps and re-downloading them, it didn't work
-tried to rejoin after removing all my mods, it didn't work
-tried to uninstall and reinstall tf2, it didn't work
-thought it could be a problem with my version of mge mod in vscript, but I can play mge_oihguv_sucks_b5 just fine no issues so thats likely not it
-tried restarting my pc, it didn't workI tried with and without mastercomfig and with and without my hud, it didn't work
-tried verifying game cache

also i tried loading up the problematic mge maps in a listen server and they play just fine there

idk what to try anymore but i still want to play mge badly so any ideas would be very appreciated

one extra thing: are there any to choose a setting that's not already listed in the Texture filtering - LOD bias setting?

i find 3.000 too subtle for me, but 10.000 and 15.000 makes the lighting really bright in some sections like process last.

how can i remove the sparks when i shoot with a shotgun/scattergun?

visual example

tracers=medium
effects=low

can confirm that it works now, thank you.

my default checks looked like this: link (Clamp S, Clamp T, No Level Of Detail, and Eight Bit Alpha)

i used the online vtf spray converter so i recommend anyone else running into the same issue to only check off SRGB, No Minmap, No Level Of Detail, and Eight Bit Alpha.

well i checked vtfedit and the vtf file already had "No Level Of Detail" checked so i'm not sure what to do from here :(

u da goat brah

I've been really enjoying tweaking my game with Nvidia Profile Inspector recently but I noticed that it also affects HUD elements like these thumbnails (see bottom left of image) when I don't want it to be? Is anyone experienced enough to know a workaround to this? Thanks.
