gamebanana link on page 1, wont work on sv pure

It might be hard for people to see your youtube link, here it is in an easier format: https://youtu.be/C-lyMuXLh68

Never really seen anything like that before but some things maybe worth trying:
- Go through your NVIDIA 'Manage 3D settings' for tf2 and turn off anything like multi frame sampled AA or other bullshit along those lines
- Maybe try resetting all of the 3D settings to defaults if you've changed many of them
- Check if the issue happens on both DX8 and DX9 or just one of them
- Check if it happens in both windowed and fullscreen mode in tf2
- Try closing any sort of atypical background software or overlays if you're running any
- Consider trying on an external monitor if you have one available, the display outs are likely to be connected directly to the NVIDIA gpu which would rule out any optimus issues

What version of NVIDIA drivers are you using and have you tried reinstalling them?

thank god they patched this, I was getting worried that they might just wait for a bigger update to include it in

Btw they aren't meant for colorblind people, rather they're intended to simulate colorblindness for non-colorblind people, probably most useful for mappers

This is probably your issue, the filesystem almost definitely has to be FAT32, and you'll want to use an MBR not GPT. Most people recommend a 16GB or smaller drive, but 64 will probably be fine and you could always try making the partition smaller than 16GB if it still doesn't work. Google should be able to walk you through how to get it formatted correctly. It's also worth trying a USB 2.0 drive if you're using a USB 3 one.

You'll never need to buy a new motherboard in the case of a corrupted bios, in the absolute worst case you can use an external SPI programmer to flash a working bios firmware onto the chip, it's a quick and easy process if you have the tools available or know someone who does. If not, any repair shop will also be able to do it for you.

If you do a fresh windows install on a spare drive and can reproduce it there, probably. If it can't be reproduced there, probably not. If that's too much hassle, at least try a full clean reinstall of gpu drivers. There are also tools you can download that can perform an integrity test of your system ram or gpu's vram.

Funnily enough on linux/mac tf2 (which uses dxlevel 90) you can entirely disable fog by using the -nops2b launch option, seemingly because pixel fog mode is forced regardless of if there's support for it or not, which there apparently isn't with 2.0b disabled.

Unfortunately that's exactly zero help for windows, and obviously not likely to be rgl legal anyways.

In theory you could modify shaders (which aren't ever included in or considered by sv_pure, for whatever reason) to disable some or all fog, but of course that too should be illegal in rgl.

the modding community presents valve with yet another reason to change 1 LOC and take away everyone's vtf crosshairs

I think Mr. billw's saying it additionally records valve casual games (not necessarily desired) since they also use mp_tournament, not that it doesn't work at all.

Seems as though the july 25th update broke playback of most or all demos recorded prior to it, so far the workarounds are to use an earlier version of the game or to use the pre_07_25_23_demos branch which can be selected under the betas tab in game properties

whichever it is, it's likely a drawback specific to that windows re-distribution he mentioned, as the spectre and meltdown mitigations can be disabled just fine (eg. using inspectre or manually changing the settings yourself) without any relation to or impact on VAC.
