Usually, when I join a server, the loading bar slowly loads up, and when it reaches the end, it waits for a maximum of 3 seconds and I'm sent to the grey welcome screen.
However, recently, whenever I try to play Valve's competitive, the loading bar fills up normally, but then when it reaches the end, I have to wait around minutes just to be brought to the grey loading screen.
And THEN the screen is still frozen, and I am still unable to click the "CONTINUE" button for whatever reason. Eventually it shows that I timed out, and asks me if I want to rejoin or abandon for a penalty. Of course, rejoining only makes the issue happen again, and eventually I give up, abandon, and receive my penalty.
I used to play Valve's competitive fine, but now it just doesn't work for some reason.
Also, I usually use dxlevel 81, and I have to switch to dxlevel 90 in order to even join a competitive match. I've been doing that the entire time, but only now has this issue ever occured.
Like I said, it used to be fine, but now it doesn't work.
(I haven't installed any new mods or HUDs recently, in fact I don't even use any HUDs.)
Please help me! I've already gotten demoted to level 1 because of this problem!! (all that hard work...)
Note: Now, using -dxlevel 90 in my launch options doesn't work for some reason, and I have to use mat_dxlevel 90 in the console to switch to dxlevel 90 (when I do that, the console prints "bad convar found in dxsupport - mat_tonemapping_occlusion_use_stencil", but the dxlevel is switched regardless). I don't have mat_dxlevel in my autoexec.cfg or config.cfg either.

I don't know how to fix that but valve's competitive is terrible at its current state, you should play other forms of competitive:
Newbie mixes
Faceit
Private pugs
TF2center
etc

Yeah, I'm already struggling with FPS issues though, and for those competitive matches I'd have to open a browser while playing.
My computer is that bad.

All of those methods allow you to run an fps config, Valve MM does not. You can always close the browser when you're loaded into the game.
