We're currently conducting a large investigation into the freeze's noticed in the Dutch TF2 servers (1, 2, 3 + war server).

Because of this research, we'd like to ask everyone to report whenever a freeze occured (also if you think someone already posted it!).

You can know its a freeze when your game seems to freeze up for a couple of seconds, and the screen is going back and forth real shaky. This mostly takes from anyware between 1 and 5 seconds. This freeze is noticable for everyone, so if your not sure if it was only you or everyone, then just ask some other players.

Please report it as following(example):
Server: Server #1
Date/time: 14-06-08 01:22
Duration: About 2 seconds

Thanks for your co-operation!

Server 3
15/6/08
Quite a few 2-5 second freezes, got the timer in the top right saying "connection problem [x] seconds till disconnect" on each one. (and yes, it was the server not just my connection)
Not sure of exact time but in the period of 16:40 - 15:20
Map was Goldrush for all of them, no server freezes before we switched onto that map.

Server: Server #2
Date/time: 15-06-08 02:15 (gmt+1)
Duration: About 2-3 seconds

had some on serv#1 earlier tonight

Duration: 6 seconds or so

This one was kinda big.. it hung for at least 6 seconds.. even the red counter in the upper right corner was running for disconnection
after which, everybody spammed "lag" all over the chat, so it wasn't just me xP

Thanks for reporting so far.

Unfortunatly we still can't find the cause of the freeze's. We're still suspecting the kernel which needs to be reworked. But i'll first have to go down to the datacenter before we can do that.

Server #3; 5 freezes last night (2-4 secs I'd guess)
I believe 2 of the times were like 11.20pm GMT and 11.40pm GMT on ctfwell (Roofuzz on as well), third was sometime after 2am GMT on fastlane (Magisk on as well). There was one earlier on goldrush as well. Can't remember when 5th was.

Wasn't just me who got lagged.

Have experienced them a few times previously when an uber is triggered, but doesn't happen all the time and wasn't ubered for any of the above so probably a coincidence.
