Just plain old reconnect/reboot.

Black screen, verbs or other actions seem to work.

Every time? Or how often? Yes
In other games? Yes

On other computers? Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?
Never

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Wasn't an issue on previous versions.

Workarounds:
None that I know of.

Hrm, I'm seeing this too. Is it only in 1609?
I didn't notice on 1608, I did reconnect numerous time on that version as it lasted for a long time.
Seems to happen to games compiled on 1608 when using a 1609 client, too. Not an offline game like in Taitz's case, either.
