Symptoms

Textures and ground models just don't stream in. Most of the time when I spawn, I'm stuck looking at a completely grey void with just my HUD and player tags visible, like the map terrain never loaded.

Vehicle scopes are broken the exact same way. If I get into an APC or tank and look through the gunner sight, the whole screen inside the optic is just a solid grey box.

Reproduction

  1. Launch Squad on Linux Mint (Cinnamon) using an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Mobile GPU.
  2. Join any server or local training map.
  3. Spawn as infantry: ground meshes won't load and you end up staring into a grey skybox/void.
  4. Get in a vehicle optic (like the M2A3 Bradley sight): the PIP scope display turns solid grey.
    (had to upload as tar.gz couse it failed to upload and i switched it to .txt still no so i chose tar.gz thats why its .txt also)
