Black Screen After Respawning on Deploy Beacon in CBQ TDM

When playing in CBQ mode, Squad Deathmatch, or Team Deathmatch, I consistently encounter a rendering bug after respawning on a Deploy Beacon.

After selecting the beacon and spawning, my “Call for Medic” icon briefly stays on screen as if I’m still downed. A few seconds later, the entire world goes black — all textures and environments disappear, but the HUD remains visible.

I can still move, shoot, hear footsteps and audio, and even interact with the environment, but the game world itself is completely blacked out. It looks like the game believes I’m still in a “downed” or “death transition” state even though I’ve respawned.

Once in a while it will flash black but you will hear the overtime damage if you were dying  on the floor.

Notes:
Happens every time on Deploy Beacon spawns.
Using Steam version on PC.
DirectX 12 enabled. Switching to DX11 did not fix it.
Occurred after the October 2025 update.

    Blame the devs, not the players. I’m just using the beacon as intended — if the game doesn’t register deaths, that’s on the code, not me.

  • I have same issue on PS5. If you open the menu as the screen goes black then cycle through to the gear/ settings cog then exit the screen the black screen disappears and you can see again.

    It's not about the deaths, it's the fact that the deploy beacon is extremely useful.

  • Same issue. Happens when in the Jet as well as the respawn beacon. On PC. Started happening after the season 1 update. 

  • Aaand they just removed option to respawn on beacon. Nice work done (no)

  • They created the bug and their 2 day hotfix was to disable the gadget for use in small maps. 

    I think the correct fix for this defect is NOT TO DISABLE IT!!! WTF
