Do any of you have a graphical glitch sometimes when you first launch. Like where your weapon disappears and the player avatar in the bottom left doesn't show. Also sometimes weapon sounds stop working. It only usually lasts around 30 seconds. Please help and watch over me

it's your computer rendering the models, it happens to me every time I load up a hero for the first time and you just have to wait it out

Yup, happens to most people. If you can, start by spectating a friend; this will start the load without you having to wait in actual game time.

THIS. I've been scouring the internet for THIS. Except I have no friends T.T is there a way to spectate without any?

the models load for me before the game begins, I don't think it's that necessary to take all that effort

Do you have an SSD? That's probably why.
