Enemies and other characters look strange from a distance?

From a distance, enemies and other characters look very strange. Like they are not completely "filled in" and are deformed in ways that look odd. Then when I get in closer, they sort of fill back up and look the way they are supposed to. This is not related to I17, it has been a problem for a while now. I play on my laptop, and have had to make many changes such as entering /cursorcache 1 to stop the screen flickering, changing the cursor to compatible to make it stop disappearing, etc. I am wondering if there are any solutions like these to fix the problem I am having now?

Type:

/visscale 4

Into your chat box and see if it doesn't improve your problem. If it's too graphics intensive, try /visscale 2 or something.

Wouldn't recommend using /vis_scale 4 on something that can barely handle the game.

Try /lodbias 1 or /lodbias 2 instead.

Okay thanks, I will try those.

I've had the same issue, it's just a video card thing, if you rig isn't stupendous, this is how it normally renders. It IS weird seeing guys with huge triangles for arms, and no top to their head...
