Black screen when joining server

[marcoburato]

Reproduction Steps

1. Open game
2. Join a server

Expected Behavior

Video should work normally (display map, players, etc)

Actual Behavior

Sometime, screen becomes black. The audio works and input works too: I can hear the sound effects of interacting with the menus.

It seems to happen more frequently the first time joining a server after starting the game.
Restarting the game and joining the server again will eventually work, but I had to do it 5 times once and 6 times another time. Sometime, this happens after having already played a match.

Try switching your renderer to AntiDrv

@treeshateorcs No, but it's happened much less frequently these days. Go figure.
