I don't know about the first Item but the 2nd sounds familiar.

I don't think a good reason was ever found why it happens. You have to restart half-life and in some cases reboot your machine.

Has anyone had this problem lately? When joining a game and after you've choosen sides and your class you find yourself just hanging in the air.
Sometimes I have to rejoin 3 or 4 times before I can play.

its baaaaaaack!

Actually IMHO I believe its a memory leak on the server that causes this problem. Just a guess. The server only seems to do it once its been up for a longer time frame (1+ days).

I bet if we restarted the server the probelm would go away until next weekend.

I had the same sort of thing, but I was never able to join w/o it happening, so I just went to a different server. In my case, I couldn't see any of the cap points on warpath as well as any of the players.

That used to happen to me all the time, but it hasn't happened for months now. Changing servers always seemed to work.

Or you can play it as is. Try Pyro. You can't see the players, but you should still be able to see the flames when someone catches on fire. Toss a Napalm Grenade and attack anyone that burns.

Here is a Email that I received from a guy named Ktulu~TPF~ who seems to know something about one of these problems. The hanging at map change or when joining a game. Here it is;

Hey RoofCutter,

As the subject says I'm replying to your post on theville.org where you said

"Has anyone had this problem lately? When joining a game and after you've choosen sides and your class you find yourself just hanging in the air"

I am very familiar with this problem and so is Valve, the proper term they gave it is "map change bug". The bad news is Valve does not have a clue what is causing it, they told me to "wait 25 minutes and then retry" hello.... get a clue.... have they ever played TFC, 25 secounds is an eternity. This problem did start with the new patch and I think it is related to the WonID checking (they really changed the code there) What works for me allot of the time is to type "retry" or "reconnect" in the console. It will take care of the problem on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time you do it (try "retry" first a couple of times and then gasp.... "reconnect") I never have to restart TFC or my computer but it's still a pain in the ass. If I find a permanant solution I will email it to you and about 100 other people who are working on the problem with me.

cya,
Ktulu~TPF~
