This happens to me every time I play. Not immediately, mind you, but it will occur if I play the game long enough, whether it is in the first round or the second round. What happens is that suddenly, when I try to move there is a terrible, high-tempo, mid-high pitch, repetitive "boop" noise that occurs, accompanied by a rapidly increasing ping. I cannot move, cannot type in the game or in the console (when I try to type all that I get are question marks), and the game has to be restarted.
Sadly, I cannot share my screenshot of the console because steam sucks, but generally some stupid error will be repeating in console when this occurs. This time it was "Error: No shader specified for material".

It's also quite hard to try and reproduce seeing it's very random, yet consistent.
From your error description you say "this time", does that mean it's a bit random what it is? Or is it always shader specific?
Also when it crash, you have the option to include a minidump.dmp file, try to get this uploaded as well (or press the send button when the game crash).
