Did you clear the ..\steam\steamapps\*username\team fortress 2\tf\ 's Materials / Models / Particles / Maps / Resource folders? to clear out any residual stuff that has not all files of a downloaded custom content. If it happens in valve maps, then most probably some props are having replaced skins/models. Did you try to use -autoconfig parameter for 1 boot of the CLIENT? (remove it after starting the game once with it). To clear out any FPS config you might have? Did you try to delete the ..\steam\steamapps\*username\team fortress 2\ folder ? to clear out any bad mishap that went wrong when updating the game itself Did you try to: - exit steam - go to your steam folder - delete AppUpdateStats.blob - delete ClientRegistry.blob - start steam - Verify your Game Cache files - redo the point above this one. - and check again? If valve updates something, say skins of some models, steam/the game will auto delete those skins updated that are in the game folder (to let the game use the new stuff), but not the custom models (if those where not updated), which will most probably then causing these kinds of problems.
