== Mumble overlay not working ==
== TF2 Crashes after November 16, 2012 Patch ==
When using Mumble, the overlay does not display itself.
The issue seems to be caused by running the game in DirectX 8.

The only known prevention method at this point is to run the game in DirectX 8.1 mode.

When the nvidia driver crashes and you can hear TF2, but can only see the desktop you can use this to see TF2 again:
# Go to the cfg TF2 folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\[your username]\team fortress 2\tf\cfg)
# Open autoexec.cfg.
# If there is no autoexec.cfg then right click anywhere in the blank space -> New -> Text Document
# Open the new text document, click on File, Save As, then at the bottom where it says Save As Type change it to All Files (*.*). For the file name type in autoexec.cfg
# Copy and paste the follow into the autoexec.cfg file:
alias res_sw "res_low"<br />alias res_low "mat_setvideomode 1024 768 0; alias res_sw res_normal"<br />alias res_normal "mat_setvideomode 1280 1024 0; alias res_sw res_low"<br />bind "o" "res_sw"<br />
Whenever the nvidia driver crashes press the o button to be able to see TF2 again.
