I've seen this only once before on steveh's server.

if you will shoot with a weapon then a sphere of red X sprites will show up.

That is the error particle, that particle is used when it cannot find the real particle.

Well, it likely depends on which plugin you're using to create said particle effect.

I had the same problem on one of my servers. But it seems to be gone now. I did not use any plugin to create any prites. It just happend with any kind of shotgun and the snipers smg.

im running medieval server and i had the same problem on cp_degrootkeep (on other medieval maps no)
Table ParticleEffectNames was full (1024/1024 items). i removed custom particles (from themes plugin) from server and now i have 1012/1024 and all works fine;)

use this commands in client console:
con_logfile "filename"
dumpstringtables
turn off tf2 and in \steamapps\trolololo\team fortress 2\tf you will get file with dump from console which tell you what and how many particles do you have

thanks you very much for all answers!
I see this warning alot:
Code:
Warning:  Table ParticleEffectNames is full, can't add bot_eye_glow_soft
I'm not sure but maybe its the Horsemann from Flamingsarge's behhh plugin ?
I've now disabled it and will test.

Everything else looks like default particles to me.
Spoiler


Will give an update on how things are working!
Thanks!

Well, hopefully Valve's update that's supposed to hit today will fix it.

I had this problem once. My updater didn't transfer the files properly to the other servers, so all I had to do was to -verify_all on the servers and the issue was fixed. But, that doesn't sound like it's the issue here.
