This is a PSA to anyone who has heard of their players having this issue.

If you have ever heard of someone complaining about someone getting a blurry screen overlay that wont go away this will explain why it happens and how to fix it.

^This is what it looks like.^


A server admin decided to make a file called 0.vmt which can be found here:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\materials

Freak and other mods or even maps might use overlays on players. To clear the overlay when it needs to be cleared the command "r_screenoverlay 0" is used. However, because someone made a file called 0.vmt using 0 in that command points to that file and causes the blurry screen.

If you use ff2_phatrages plugin it uses "r_screenoverlay 0" command players on roundend and on playerspawn. To fix just open the plugin and where ever you find "r_screenoverlay 0" just replace with "r_screenoverlay \"\"". This is just one plugin fix though, if any other plugin or map uses that command with 0 it will still occur.

To fix forever tell your players to go to the file path above and delete that 0.vmt file. If anyone says they can't find it just have them delete the entire materials folder, then have them restart TF2.
