try overwriting your tremulous.(x86|ub|exe) with the one from tjw's website, if it works, then your client got corrupted somehow, if it doesn't then the server is probably sending you garbage data (or the data is getting messed up somewhere in the middle).

That didnt work. What can I do to stop servers from sending me garbage?

try cl_allowDownload 0 if its a server where you needn't download anything, or if you already have everything needed to connect.

Try to avoid balance mod servers and stuff like that. Until you know how to stop getting garbage from servers, I suggest to go to a regular tjw mod server.
