When I log into the game I'm now always unconscious, whilst I have the unconscious screen up (black text white writing) I cannot see anything. If I hit escape I have the menu open and I can see my characters 1st person view behind the menu. If I go back to game I still see the black screen again.

If I move the mouse or press a,s,w or d whilst the unconscious overlay is active and then hit escape, I can see that my character position has changed.

Basically I'm not unconscious in the game. My controls are working while the screen is open. The overlay is getting stuck not the actual player being unconscious.
