VFX bug causes screen to mostly blacken out

KillerFrogs

So I was playing on one of Rusty's servers, and whenever I shot/held/did something that caused some kind of VFX which involved weapons, it caused the screen to fully blacken out except for a small portion in the upper left corner. This affect many things including the flamethrower idle animation, which made me basically blind while just holding the flamethrower. It also happened when I was respawning as aliens, I noticed dark purple circles flying around while the screen was blackened out, and when the circles were gone, the bug was gone too.

Also, this bug seems to if Bloom is ON, and Particle Quality is LOW. I've had the bug not happen by being a precise distance away from the wall and shooting/parasiting the wall at a very precise angle, it's a precision that is hard to duplicate so I can't explain it easily enough to help. One other thing is that the darkened areas are the exact same for every time the bug happens, no matter which weapon causes the bug.

One last thing, going into %appdata% and clearing the NS2 cache there did NOT fix the issue.

I did take a few screenshots, I'll be posting the links below.

Turn bloom off and it should fix it

Would it be deemed feasible to remove bloom from the options menu for now until (if at all) it gets fixed?
