Problem with a medic glitch

I found a glitch involving the medi-gun and it keeps getting deleted. I'm sorry that I cannot upload a screenshot at the time, but I'm using a school computer right now. I will do so asap just please believe me! It is real and I want to help this wiki.

Heavy Fire Glitch hasn't been fixed

As of today, the Heavy fire glitch is still glitched. Got it 20 minutes ago, though I didn't have my Screenshot key bound when I got it. Animalbrad 19:46, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

New glitch involving the Sharpened Volcano Fragment

Everytime I kill someone with a Flamethrower, it shows the kill icon as being whatever melee weapon I have equipped. Even when I switched from the Fragment to the Powerjack, and flamed someone to death with the flamethrower, the kill icon still displayed the Powerjack. Of course, this is happening to me on my server, and I happen to be using a modified Flamethrower, via the Give Weapon plugin, but regardless, the custom flamethrower shares no similar attributes with the Sharpened Volcano Fragment. Anyone else experiencing this? 404 User Not Found 00:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

• After burn kill icons use the flamethrower of the users loadout killicon. Valve just needs to alter to code, and thats a bug on the Sharpened Volcano Fragment page. :D 00:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I've already documented this in the Flamethrower page. i-ghost 00:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Another glitch related to the Heavy minigun after death glitch

I've noticed that upon being hit by the Scout's baseball, or being spooked by the Ghost/HHH, if you hold the fire button, you can continue hearing the whirring (but not the actual firing), and the gun will start firing immediately after the stun period ends without having to be spun up again.

Console + Backspace problem after alt tabbing (or equivalent)

With TF2 running - Alt Tab to desktop then return to TF2 by maximizing TF2. The bug is that after this occurs, you can no longer open the console command via the default "`" (even with console enabled in options). The console command will stay open if it's already open but if you closed it and want to open it, you cannot do it after alt tabbing. The second issue related to this is you can no longer use the "Backspace" key to delete text. Has anyone else encountered this glitch? This seems to be a HL2 engine bug than TF2 specific though.

• Okay this is odd. I think this bug only occurs by using the "Right Alt" key + "Tab" instead of "Left Alt" key + "Tab". I remember reading that others had this problem too.
  • Can anyone verify that if you alt + tab (using the "Right Alt" key) from TF2 full screen, that you no longer are able to open the console and/or use backspace to delete text? I always used right alt key + tab all this time due to just being used to it (I used to disable left alt key for Windows due to me accidentally hitting alt + tab when using left alt while tabbing for the scoreboard in game). Goldfish 19:58, 7 July 2011 (PDT)
  • Testing it again - After using "Right Alt" + Tab to minimize TF2 then returning to it, the bug occurs. An interesting thing I never knew is that using left alt + tab (or Alt + Esc) to minimize TF2 will cause the problem to disappear after you remaximize it. Can anyone else verify that Right Alt + Tab causes the problem (after right alt + tabbing, can you check if you can open your console command and/or use backspace to delete text)? It was a frustrating problem for me but it seems there was an easy solution all this time. Goldfish 20:06, 7 July 2011 (PDT)

Medic Über glitch, possibly related to the wrong team GUI glitch

Yesterday(8/11) I was playing on a vanilla server as a Medic. I noticed my GUI was the wrong team(I was on BLU, the GUI was still red after being auto-balanced), which isn't that big of a deal, but as soon as I Übered someone, instead of flashing blue, I flashed red.

Boston Basher glitch

This happened to me a while ago. I got hit on the very last second of humilliation with the boston basher, and the immediate next round my screen was completely covered by the red filter(bleeding) throughout the whole match. I had to restart to get rid of it. Mpnov 12:51, 19 November 2011 (PST)

Inconsistency?

Can I just check if this new bug goes under this category? Basically, swapping between other classes wearing a multi-class item can result in the item appearing as they were on the previous class. For example, Demoman with Pyro's grenade replacement orientation or Scout with Sniper's Tooth Kickers. This also seems to only happen on the player's side, and everyone else sees it normally.

Flipped out tf2, major bug.

Okay, after about 1 hour playing tf2, disconnecting, then joining any server or creating one, all the textures an ui flip out, making the game hard to play or unplayable, it can sometimes allow shooting through walls, i got a penetration kill with the machina testing this. This is a major bug to me, surprised it is not already mentioned here! Superprototype 10:33, 26 March 2013 (PDT)

Could be something with your graphics or possible mods you are using. Never happens to me nor anyone I know. So its something on your end. Ashes 13:10, 26 March 2013 (PDT)

Shooting through walls? Hax! Do you have any videos or pictures of this event happening? --Samuel Enthers 13:21, 26 March 2013 (PDT)

I do. I'll try to find them Super? Prototype 07:51, 19 April 2013 (PDT)

Here it is http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=108563131 Should I upload this to the wiki and insert in the page? Edit: OH GOOD GOD NO! IT HAPPENS ON STARTUP TOO!Super? Prototype 07:55, 19 April 2013 (PDT)

Spy revolver glitch

While using the stock revolver (I haven't checked any others yet) and having cl_first_person_uses_world_models set to 1, holding down Reload and Mouse 1 gives a strange, 3-burst fire effect. This is clientside as far as I can tell. I know that this glitch existed before but I assume it was patched and has returned with VR mode. Thanks!

Item Conflict Glitch?

People are able to equip two of the same misc items or 2 misc items that would otherwise be unable to be equipped together by disconnecting their internet. I'm not sure if this would be in glitches or somewhere else. -ZingZam (talk) 01:18, 17 August 2013 (PDT)

Hou Long Heater False Fire Glitch

Trading Glitch

I downloaded tf2 recently and upon adding a friend to my friend list found an interesting trading glitch. In this glitch, when I traded all my weapons had disappeared, even my tradable ones so I couldn't trade with friends. This glitch is apparently fairly common. If it helps I am, I hate to admit it but it's true, a free to play user. Upon looking at the f2p/p2p (free to play/pay to play) article it said that f2p players can trade. Please can I have some help in dealing with this glitch. I put it on here so that hopefully it might be patched. Thank you, Heskelator

Can someone confirm?

Does the partner taunt glitch actually exist? It sounds like something that would have been noticed and exploited much more, but I've never heard of it until now. ⇒ Anyar (talk/contributions/giveaway) 20:00, 29 March 2017 (PDT)

How necessary is this page?

How necessary is this page, really? And where is the difference made between an exploit and a glitch? What determines whether or not bugs should be posted on this page or only on (for example) a weapon's specific page? It seems like you could list every single bug on the wiki here.
GrampaSwood (talk) 01:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

1. I don't think it is necessary, since, worst still, can incite the readers to try to do these glitches, which is not good.
2. If this article needs to stay, in my opinion, there should only be general glitches (and maybe XBOX/PS3 glitches) that can't be put in other articles (e.g. this rule would remove Infinite Contracker Pose and Cow Mangler slow walk, as it is already listed in Jungle Inferno ConTracker#Bugs and the other in Cow Mangler 5000#Bugs), or are/was well know by the community (therefore, for example, it should stay the Inventory glitches, Infinite Market Gardener Crit, etc).

Skybox Glitch found on Cauldron

On the rightmost path towards the point, if you crouch against the back wall on the wooden platform before the side buildings on Blu's side and look up at the sky in the direction of the high ground, you can see an error in the skybox texture as it turns gray in a large area. I don't know if this page is for glitches found throughout the game and not just on one map, but I still wanted to bring it up. GoodMudkip (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

The glitch involing item switching while taunting is present in the Linux version (possibly even Windows and Mac too)

This glitch is present in the Linux version, also I discovered that if you, as Heavy, eat a lunchbox item with less than 300 health and swap the item with a minigun or melee, it will restore health up until the switch, or it will not restore any depending on the timing of the switch, wasting it.

This seems like a bug that's too gamebreaking to list (at least with instructions).
