Team Fortress 2 Forum

Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been discussed before...my Team Fortress 2 is running wonderfully in Crossover Games, however I have one problem. Sometimes character models (especially Spy and Soldier) and sometimes weapon models are completely black. I am running the game on a new Macbook Pro with 4 gigs ram and the 512 nvidia chip. Is there any known fix to this? Thanks!

I am noticing the same problem on a MBP 2.4 c2d with 256 mb 8600 and 2 gigs of ram. ALL models go black.

Ah ha I'm not crazy!
I get this problem in TF2 with character models and weapons
I get this in Counter-Strike Source a lot to!
I have gotten this in Insurgency (but now its fixed!)

I'M NOT CRAZY!!!
A crash ensues with me seeing the black models.

Looks like this is a problem in the newest version of Crossover Games. Or are you guys having this problem in older versions?

I wonder whats up.

Yeah I am currently using Crossover 7.1 or whatever the newest release is...glad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems. 😊

This is also happening in Counter Strike: Source. Blegh.

I will fiddle with some nightly builds.

Ah well the nightlies are broken too!

Can anybody verify that this works better with CrossOver Games 7.0? Customers can download the older version from the Archived Downloads tab of the My Downloads section of your account page.

It's important to know if the problem was caused by CrossOver Games 7.1 or if an update to Team Fortress 2 caused it.

Thanks.

This problems attacks Counter-Strike Source as well and Valve hasn't updated it in a while. So I doubt it's a problem with the new version of TF2.

This is still happening

Henderson [CoCa] is my Steam tag... My character models in TF2 also turn into menacing silhouette of their former selves. This makes game play very difficult especially when it comes to fighting the opposing team. They are supposed to me red or blu, but instead they are solid black. So distinguishing them from friend or foe is very hard and makes playing they all but enjoyable. Please if a patch of some sort can be made for Cross Over games newest version that would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Having just snagged a free copy of crossover I'm mighty impressed with the overall performance of it. This black character model thing though is making life more then a little difficult. I don't know whether I'm shooting at the right team half the time or not!

I'm running 7.1.1 games for mac.

Steam is as updated as it gets.

Thanks

I will look at that for the next release - I just filed a bug in our bugtracker to make sure I don't forget about this.

any update on this? it's still doing this for me, and nothing appears in the bug forms

Same problem. One of zombies in HL2:EP2 is just black, and some kind of walls is just black. C.O.G. 7.1

I just thought I'd post to say that after implementing the useGLSL registry entry (from the tips'n'tricks section) to enable the facial animations I have not seen this issue. It may be co-incidental with the recent steam update but overall I'm now very happy.

Woo, go Crossover.

P.S. I also don't see anything in the bug tracker. Am I supposed to?

Hi all,

We have a new cxgames beta out since a few days. Can the advocates in who see this problem test the new beta? So far we have no TF2 reports indicating anything on this issue.

There's a bug for this, but maybe it is marked private(all bugs are marked private by default, since we have some corporate customers for which privacy is critical)

We have a test build of CrossOver Games which may solve the black models problem. If you're experiencing this problem, please go to http://dl.codeweavers.com and enter access code "cxgames_nosrgb" (without the quotes). Give that a try and please report whether or not it fixes the black models problem. Thanks.
