Everyone's got water pistols.

This bug is about the bullet impact FX.

Sometimes during a game all bullet impact effects turn into water impacts. Complete with sounds. Some observations.


1. This only occurs on static meshes and BSP. On terrain bullet impacts stay normal. Though you may want to check the bsp one as I'm just assuming some objects are BSP and not static meshes.
2. This will start happening part way through a round.
3. This is rather uncommon and will maybe happen once every 5 or so games for me. For the only part of a match until map change.
4. It only affects certain clients.
5. It will happen on any map official or custom.

Very interesting bug. No idea what causes it. Just starts happening. Quite a few people have noticed this.

Its been a known bug for short time now. We're still trying to narrow down a precises cause to the issue. If anyone knows steps to consistently trigger this bug, please let us know.

When this occurred was Instanced Rendering on? Has this occurred to users with IR disabled?

I haven't heard of this happenning to anyone with it off. Though that doesn't mean much. Pretty much everyone has it on.
