This is a guide on how to fix missing eye textures for the TF2 Classes

This will show you how to temporarily fix this annoying bug that makes all characters have missing eye textures.

Please tell me if I miss something or if you have important information, thank you!

How to Fix

This is how to TEMPORARILY fix the missing eye textures in TF2.

Step 1. Figure out when the missing eye textures appear, once they do, type mat_specular 0 into the console. This will turn off reflections which can screw up a few things that need reflections. Though, you will no longer have Missing Textures in eyes!
Step 2. See if the Mercenaries still have missing eye textures. If they do, you may need to reopen the game for it to fix. (You can also wait for a match to end and then the eyes will go back to normal sometimes.)

Why does this happen?

I'm not sure, but I think it is because when the game loads in new cosmetics from the summer update. I think this because when I play garry's mod sometimes, when I spawn in a new/unseen item, sometimes the reflections will go crazy and the game looks horrible.

There may be another reason for this occurrence, but this is all I know of. This happens every update and it will eventually go away, but it may take a while.
