Black screen and game does not respond after leaving a redsec match

Happens 80% of the time when I die in a redsec match and I leave, screen goes black and I have to alt+F4 the game and relaunch the whole thing. The term "annoying" is weak to describe this problem. Also, is it possible to actually drop in the direction I'm already looking at when dropping from the chopper in redsec? There's always a weird swivel in camera angle when dropping. Thanks.
