Is the visual artifact a 'checkerboard' or 'black and white grid' like pattern? If so then it could be a shader problem, Quake3 1.27 introduced new shader options and also tightened up shader parsing. This 'broke' many skins, model, map shaders and the result is the problem you describe.

Try removing any custom maps, models, skins etc. from your baseq3 and RA3 directory. Check that the baseq3 folder has a file called pak5.pk3 as that's missing when upgrading to 1.27g using Team Arena instead of the full point 1.27g release. It can also occur when TeamArena .pk3's are copied directly to baseq3 rather than missionpack folder.
