When joining in a game on any particular server, I connect fine @ < 130 ping. When the map changes, I encounter this horrible lag when makes me move like I'm in slow motion for about 5 minutes in the game and then it becomes normal. I'm not obsessed about winning this game, but it kind of puts me at a real disadvantage during the period before it becomes normal again. My ping never increases from what it was but it almost becomes unplayable at points.
Anyone fill me in on how to fix this?
