Texture loading happens with a delay

Issue explanation

Viewed in the WIP W3D viewer but since it uses game code to draw everything issue is likely in game code.

Screenshot(s) or video

This blink from pink to textured happens as well if

  • you minimize and maximize the window
  • or just tab to another window and tab out

As you can see, in both the stock viewer and our viewer there is a brief flash of "missing texture" before the actual textures draw. What our viewer is doing is therefore a match to what the Renegade w3dviewer is doing. Given this and given that we don't see any flashes of missing texture in-game, I think we should label this bug as "vanilla-bug" and move on.
