Getting black squares on CS:GO usually means there's a graphics issue. First, try updating your graphics drivers from your manufacturer's website. If that doesn't help, verify the integrity of game files through Steam: right-click on CS:GO in your library, select 'Properties,' go to 'Local Files,' and then click on 'Verify integrity of game files.'

Honestly, just sounds like a bug. Never had it, never seen it. Might want to check your PC for gremlins.

It's not a feature, it's a bug. Update your drivers, verify game files, and if that fails, reinstall CS:GO. Worked for me when I had weird graphics glitches.

Black squares might be cool for a minimalist art project, but not so much for CS:GO. Besides updating drivers and verifying game files, also check your game's settings. Sometimes, setting graphics too low or too high based on your PC's capabilities can cause weird rendering issues like this.
