Hello there.

I encountered following problem today: the options menu seems to be totally screwed up all of the sudden.
All my detail settings as well as the resolution have been reset for what I assume is the default and I cant change my resolution/gore level/ post processing effects etc anymore. The drop down menus after clicking on either of those settings are completly blank (for resolution the drop down doesnt even work in the first place)

I managed to fix the resolution via the config but this issue also caused the server browser to stop working. This is very strange since the browser worked perfectly fine for me from the Beta up untill today.

I didnt change any drivers or settings before the issue occured, tried veryfing the game cache, deleted client registry blob and also made sure there was no anti aliasing forced through my drivers. Ive got a HD4890 and am running on the latest 11.9 drivers

I also noticed that I cant see any maps in the mapvoting screen anymore and it appears blank.
Another weird thing I noticed is that the "anti aliasing" section in the video options doesnt show "low" "medium" or "high" FXAA anymore but rather "x16" which definetly wasnt there before. (again the dropdown is blank so I have no idea wether the other settings are still there)

I am completly baffled as to what happened here so I would appreciate any suggestion:confused:

P.S: The game itself still plays perfectly fine, its just that I cant find a server on my own anymore/cant mapvote/cant change options that feature any sort of drop down menu

ive made some screenshots, there is obviously something very fishy going on

also notice that the post processing preset is set to "war movie" eventhough I always played on "normal" and I dont see any difference ingame so I assume it still renders it in regular fashion

I am having the same server browser problem since today.

I think it got something to do with the fact, that my steam has no connection to the steam community thing. Also my ingame name changed to player.
