[Known] Black graphical artifacts all over the screen when first logging in (Linux)

Title: Black graphical artifacts all over the screen when first logging in (Linux)
Reproduction Rate: 100% when first starting the game client
Blocker? no
Details: When first logging in to the game, black dots (smudges? see screenshots below) appear on the screen, often after a moment or two of clear (non-glitchy) graphics, and then disappear gradually over the next 20-30 seconds or so. This only appears to occur when first logging in to the game after starting the client. If I exit to menu and re-enter the game, the issue does not seem to reoccur. I have occasionally had this issue when entering a scene, but not nearly as reliably.
Steps to Reproduce: Start the game client, log in to the game.

These screenshots were taken one after the other just as I logged in, with about 8 or 9 seconds between screenshots:




I logged out and back in again, and didn't see the problem reoccur. I exited the game client and logged in again, and the graphics looked just fine for a second or three, and then it did this:

It cleared up within about 20-30 seconds, and was back to normal.

Here's another screenshot I took earlier this evening:

I'm using 390.59 drivers on a 1070ti, i don't seem to get these glitches.
Which nvidia drivers are you using?

 

375.82

(specifically, package version 375.82-1~deb9u1 on Debian)

 

That driver is almost a year old my friend (exactly a year this july). You may wish to investigate updating it.
