Valve didn't test stuff and just put it in as always and we get a buggy effect like this, sadge. The effect itself is really nice though. Goes well with some hats and loadouts

@baguettesenpaii what bug are you refering to? showing up weird in loadout is just how it works and not something i can fix. the effect uses refract sprites for the holes in the skull and unfortunately refract sprites just dont work in the loadout preview.

Its still in a buggy state, will it ever get fixed?

It's bugged and from what has been said below in this thread, it apparently can't be fixed. It doesn't show correctly in your backpack loadout. Also, you can see it reflecting the background of wherever your at while playing in-game, (when you look at your avatar displayed in the corner).

Is it just me, or it s still bugged in game, beging to mouch transparent compare to this video.

this looks way better in loadout.tf for some reason lol

Bamboo the goat

should be fixed in the next update

thank the lord

adjusting bug still not fixed

@pop - Ok, thank you very much for the clarification. I am going to see if I can file some sort of Bug report about it to Valve, (and hopefully others will as well). So it can someday be addressed. I really like the effects and would like to enjoy them even while staring at my loadout, haha. I assume going forward the refract particles will be used again too. Which will make it an ongoing issue, so hopefully Valve can work a bit of magic and sort it out. Thank you again for your time and keep up the good work!

Pretty much yeah that would have to be some sort of fix with the loadout viewer itself.

@pop - I appreciate the explanation. Do you think it's possible to have Phantom Plague and Heavy Rain display correctly in the backpack and loadout? I ask as from what I'm gathering from you, is that it is a display issue with TF2 itself. As it does not have the same capabilities in the bp/loadout, as it does in actual gameplay. So TF2 would need some sort of a fix, and it isn't something that can be fixed from your end? Thank you for your time and insight.

I cannot speak as for why the adjust issue happens but this is an effect with very unique properties to anything previous added which could be related. There’s also a longer than standard spawn time which make it not so visible on shortly timed taunts.

Yeah the reason it bugs out in the loadout viewer is due to the refract particles which give it that special see through skull shape, same happens with the heavy rain taunt effect for the same reason.

@pop - TY for the quick response. Yeah I can only see it in a match, not in my backpack or loadout. It also bugs out after a match and says something like "A Box With A Light" or something. Here is an example - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3353799161

How are other effects that are just static on your hat and "manifest" above you stable, while this is just a buggy mess of an effect

I have a couple hats with your effects, and either the effect doesn't appear at all either in third-person or when taunting, or the effects seem to disconnect from the hat and appear elsewhere rendering it out of sight

This is only in the loadout viewer. This problem doesn’t happen ingame.

I have the Tundra Top Version of Phantom Plague. The effect doesn't display correctly. The eyes glow weirdly and there is a bright glowing box around the effect too. It's like the effect is turned inside out. Here is what it looks like - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3353742101 I wasn't sure how to report this bug but I thought someone should know.

Effect is cool but it have really big bug
Effect keeps appearing 2 meters away from the Head while Taunting.
PLS FIX this....

Needs a Desperate Fix!
Effect keeps appearing 2 meters away from the Head while Taunting.
Big Square when equipped while in Loadout, appears with a Big Gray Outline.

I like the Effect, it would be very nice to see it in its full glory!

Unboxed this on a strange elite grade its pretty cool

Only mentioning brightness/contrast because current state makes it difficult to visibly see the phasms and silhouette of skull. Enhancing the intensity of haze would pronounce the skull effect like in the second slide of submission

bamboo can you adjust the effect to be brighter, it has so much potential!

APPEARS AS BIG GREEN SQUARE

doesn't work in dxlevel 81 or lower.
plus sometimes sits upto 4 meters behind me or under my feet

would be cool to be able it to see it :)

it dont spawn 50% of the times and sometimes it appears like 2-3 meters behind ur head kinda anoyinng lowkey

Fixing the issue when ajusting

Effect is VERY bugged when the unusual is adjusted. It's funny but very distracting, any fix in the works? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2451738531287234695/810EE518C13D69B9C32D67F805C0E80E37A4DD02/

i Unboxed the Phantom Plague Headhunters Brim for Sniper but the effect is very Buggy and glitchy and slow to activate takes like 5-10 seconds before it even comes up on the screen

goated effect

easily the s-tier effect of the case, congrats man

They made stinky fart cloud a real thing

How much money you wanna bet all the uber-high tier traders are gonna combo this with Arcana/Spellbound?

Jokes aside, very nicely done.
