Hmm...

I don't know a lot about fixing TFC, but you could try this!

In Steam, go to Library, and right click on your game, select properties. Under Local Files, click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

May help!

Thanks Gimpy !
I did try that.
I wonder if deleting tfc and reinstalling might help ? idk

It only happens with tfc also.. I can play other games.

I would have this problem and learned it is due to my texture mode.. I dont know what mine was set to, you may need to bounce around on some settings.. when does this occur for you? when you launch the game, or when you join a server?


] gl_texturemode
GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR

as I said, I experienced this in the past and could fix it by changing my gl_texturemode.

here is a post detailing the different texturemodes, just change them and try connecting until you find the one that wont crash your game.
