Seems more and more servers are getting that freeze up lag you experience form time to time.

It seems that it is Punkbusters that is causing the problems.

I have been booted a few times to PB not responding and now it seems the lag is also being caused due to PB not only on the server but the client as well.

I read this post on th ET forums and it seems you can manually update PB yourself for you client (since it doenst seem to be updating automatically for some reason) and this may fix alot of the issues you have been experiencing.

Hope this helps a few of us
