Do you have any rates set in your server.cfg? Would you mind posting that?

[clark]

It won't let me post them. Anti spam software.

I would recommend setting your sv_minrate to 20000 and see if that helps.

[clark]

Didn't help from what I see.

Delete all those rate commands that say DO NOT CHANGE


Restart server, and let server load defaults.
Then see if it still skips... If so, the rates aren't a problem.
