When I press F11, the game makes such strange screenshots (see below). What's wrong?

Looks like memory corruption. Try to boot into BIOS, check memory condition, clear processor cache, update your graphics drivers. Try to reinstall game.

If everything above fails, then it may mean memory damage and thus you may replace RAM. It may be also RAM overload, memory leak, that may cause this happen...

In fact, on making the previous screenshoot I connected to a server and at the end of the game another screenshot was made automatically. And this screenshot is OK. "Strange" screenshots happen, when I press F11 to make them.
If I press F11 twice, the game crashes.
Later I removed my q3config.cfg, so the game created a new one by default and since then F11 makes normal screenshots.
So, what parameters in q3config.cfg can make such a bug?

I don't know. I leaved F11 tp TGA screenshots and made F12 to make JPG screenshots, although, I leaved most of original settings (except for video settings)... Really hard to say. Maybe post your q3config here so anyone here could help?

What a load of bollocks.
