Pyrovision effects without pyrovision items
About 3 hours or so ago I started seeing the pyrovision "baloon and confetty" effect everytime someone is injured. I cant get rid of it. I tried playing all classes and tried different servers but it's always the same, and I made sure I'm not wearing the Pyrovision goggles. Restarted TF2 several times, it crashed a few times as well.

I know this isn't something related to the servers I go to since I'm the only one affected (I asked other people on servevrs).

It wouldn't really be a problem except that the effects obscure my view. Everytime I'm hit a giant ♥♥♥ baloon pops up in my face and I can't see. I googled if anyone has/had similar problems but all I found was questions related to items that equip pyrovision and if it's possible to disable it while wearing said items.

Help.

I think that might be called "birthday mode" or "sillygibs". Unless you also get the other Pyrovision stuff like the changed terrain texture and the white framing on the edges of the screen.

That said, I've never had a problem of Pyrovision effects blocking my gameplay.

Also this should probably belong in the TF2 forum: http://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/ I've flagged it to be moved by a mod, fwiw.

Yes, that's it! The Birthday mode is supposed to happen today from what I researched. Didn't know it even existed since I started playing in January so this would be the first time I encounterd it.

I don't think the effects should obscure the view as much as they do for me. I'll try to figure out how to fix that later.

I guess the reason only I was affected at the time was because I'm in europe and I mostly joined US-East servers. Since it wasn't the 23rd there they didn't have the sillygibs enabled yet. Personally I dont mind the gibs themselves, but the baloons and confetty aren't my cup of tea.

I don't really frequent the forums so I didn't really know where to post. Sorry for putting this in the wrong topic. :steamfacepalm:

Also thank you, I couldn't have figured it out by myself. :)
