Playermodels Extremely Corrupted

The playermodels on scout, demo, engie, and medic are 100%, grade A, broken.

Looking in the bottom left, you see the remians of a scout who no longer has skin. For whatever reason, the classes listed above have compeltly lost their heads, and the game does't really like that. 90% of the time in normal play the entire playermodel area is black, along with the rest of my screen. This makes it impossible to actually do anything.

I have untinstalled, removed every folder, every mod, every everything, and it still remains this way. I'm wondering what I could do to fix this?

General info: Arch Linux, up to date. Steam, on latest release, no mods outside of HUD+Captions. Never expereinced before.

I assume your hud is linux supported?

Yes, 7hud supports linux. But the Hud wouldn't cause playermodel failures, because even in 3rd person the playermodels fail. Looking at other players in casual playing one of those classes causes the same bug.

After going through cfg files and huds and everyhing carefully, I determined it was something in the config. A config that seems to work is Comanglias, with no issue, but I'm not sure what causes this in b4nny's or other configs.

I also use Arch Linux and 7HUD.

CPU: Ryzen 2600
GPU: AMD Radeon 5600XT

I have had a potentially related issue with black geometry being on my screen whenever im with another player (on opposite team, i havent tried another player on my team).

It can be seen here (apologies for dogshit quality): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEtEAVHPvlE

Doesnt happen when im on a server with no other players, the more players on the server the worse the issue becomes.

I believe its a driver bug, as I updated my system today for the first time in quite a while, which included mesa and kernel updates.

Deleting my cfg and custom folders didnt help.

EDIT: I use comanglias config anyway and it did this :/ I have modified a few commands in there over the years and wouldnt know what it could be.

UPDATE: Downgrading lib32-mesa to 20.1.8 has fixed this issue for me. the upgrade to lib32-mesa-20.2 caused this issue.

Alright, so, I have 2 configs here. One works, one doesn't.

Works: https://hastebin.com/qecebiliku.apache

Broken: https://hastebin.com/teduhazusu.apache

Is there some obvious command that's causing this? I'm planning on going through line-by-line and making a document that shows the differences exactly.

Will update with results.

EDIT ----- These seem to be the differences: https://hastebin.com/axakikatob.properties

EDIT 2 -- After looking up simular issues on the Mesa repos I've found a claim that

mat_phong 0

is what causes the bug. Testing now.

EDIT 3 -- Why the hell does phong break the fucking game
