the game will lag for a second and freeze, then the screen will go black and not come back. sound will cut out, but then come back on. it sounds like the game is still playing (footsteps if you move around, zombie attacks, etc.). if you hit tab or esc, the cursor will pop up, but the rest of the screen is still totally black. the cursor can still click the unseen buttons and still respond (I hit esc and click where the exit game button should be and hit enter and the sound changes to the main menu/server select screen sounds. It seems like the graphical overlay just crashes or decides to default to everything showing as black.
