Purple and Black Reflections?

[Obtuse_Square]

I'm not a noob, so I know that purple and black textures mean that the texture file isn't there. This is different. It's like the light that is given off by the light in a room is purple and black. My tool gun has a purple tint. The prop breendesk has a purple tint. If you look at it a certain way you can even see the purple and black texture patterns. If I shine a light on it, it isn't that bad though. Any tips/fixes?

If i'm correct it has something to do with cubemaps (which has to do with reflection).
Verify cache is the only solution i can think of.

Do mat_specular 0

It should work the reflections have happened to me so that should fix it.

[Obtuse_Square]

mat_specular 0 fixed it for the most part, but not completely. For example, the water is now extrememly purple, certain guns have a purple tint when not directly under light, etc. Props are good as far as I see

Hmm I don't know if it is my guess it is probably missing textures.

It's purple and black reflections, not textures, which once again, has to do, probably, with cubemaps.
Disabling reflections isn't fixing the problem, it's avoiding it. I suggest searching online for a fix since i can't really know the cause of OP's problem.

Try to verify cache.

I think I've found what triggers it, a couple of things do, but I know that the Fallout 4 Hazmat Suits addon ragdolls mess it up. Maybe it has something to do with the visor on the helmet?

That's possible. Disable all mods and start up a vanilla sandbox server. If the problem persists, it's a hardware/file problem. If it's gone that means it's some mod which causes it.

It doesn't start until I spawn that item or another, the question is why?

Dunno, report the problem to the developer of the mod.

In the console put mat_speculat 0, then type buildcubemaps and enable mat_specular again

my TF2 weapon props have a purple tint on them (not a black and purple color) and it makes me mad that i can't use them with anything. the purple and black is an easy fix, but the purple tint on the props is a nightmare.

either the mod or map has messed up cubemaps.

If its a map, tell the idiot map creator to actually build cubemaps lmao

if it's the mod, rip, idk about that stuff.

Welp ♥♥♥♥

[Spartykins]

can't really imagine an addon would mess up cubemaps as it's a per map thing but then again source has done stranger things

does this happen on flatgrass/construct op?
