So I'm trying to join the server (MW2 ftag) but I get extremely slow download speeds which I don't after testing on a different server, so it's not a problem on my side it seems.

So I've deleted them all and am downloading a new map in less than a minute.. I've not had any spikes or issues in the server at all. If you are running steam then create a shortcut for the game on your desktop and turn off steam BUDMAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It could be looking for a mic if voice chat is on PickleRick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Some nights, doesn't happen at all, others may get slow downloads a couple of times. Usually I just close out the game and come back in and all good again, till the next time that is.

Try playing on another server once. It's very very noticeable when going from our servers to someone else's server. Join ESCs Elitewarefare Clasic freezetag server for a couple minutes. Even just running around feels much much smoother. Like I said our mod is a little laggy (probably has something to do with" Crackling Ice sound effect" Errors when frozen that everyone gets because if you bring up the Console there is a huge list of Errors related to it every time you are frozen or near someone that is frozen) but when you add on the server host related lag it can get really really bad at times especially on some of the maps that have a much higher polygon count. Does the Crackling Ice Error get reported to the server? Or is it strictly a Client side error? Seems like it could easily overwhelm the server if these errors are constantly being reported and checked server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
