Steam Chat Overlay Glitch

This is a glitch that occurs from Steam's chat overlay. If you load most games through Steam, you can use the Steam Chat overlay (Shift-Tab) to talk to friends through Steam. It seems though, that if you rapidly switch this overlay on and off while a game is loading textures, it will accidentally overwrite those textures in video memory, causing your chat windows and overlay to BECOME the texture in the game. The easiest example is here in Spore Creature Creator, but it works in many other games. This includes Team Fortress 2 or other Source games. Try it while loading a level.

@nefets99 A simple re-read of the comments will net you the main idea. I also commented originally 3 months ago and forget what happened in the video. SOOOOO do research before being a faggot.

@nefets99 I don't think YOU understand what I am talking about. and since you REPLIED to me, you're an idiot for just nitpicking a word and not addressing what I said. I like arguing with people; because I like to feel superior.

@Wond3rballs You really dont even understand what im talking about.

the pink shit you get from alt tabbing is the reflection texture unloading, other engines dont do that.

@nefets99 you ever activate a non steam game you idiot?

[nefets99]

@Wond3rballs Steam games =/= source engine

tf2 is source, hl2 is source, spore is not source

@nefets99 how many games have you played through steam? and I know you're going to say some bullshit, but happy inbox checking you useless douche :)
