Usage

Restarts your video, applying any changes you may have made to how the video works.

This command is quite useful if you have the "tesla bug": A very annoying tesla energy flash is drawn from your player to some 3d point somewhere on the map. Another situation might be that you have task-switched between your fullscreen Tremulous client and your Desktop many times, and suddenly, something in the texture memory has been overwritten, so your textures in game look wrong. In both cases, /vid_restart is a reliable fix. It will reload the map, though, so it takes a few seconds.
