Hey guys, I am trying to help a community out with a problem. Everyone that plays there server(s), gets frustrated after map change because there is a 45 sec. Lag after where the server just says "Changing levels...." for 45 sec. (exactly 45 seconds, I don't know if there is a reason behind that or what)
I, nor does anyone know why it is doing this. So I have decided to post here for some suggestions. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Hope you guys can help!

Just after the map change, it sits at the message for players "Changing Levels..."
I don't know if 'lag' is the right word, but there is a delay I guess. It takes exactly 45 seconds after the map ends, and when the next map is loaded. I have no clue why it is doing this and it is very frusterating.
If you have any more questions, let me know!

Whats ur CPU usage. It sounds like it has something to do with that.

If you have a slow (5400rpm/IDE) hard drive, it could be simply slow at loading large maps.

Slow maploading is caused by slow CPU and slow HDD, in this case the HDD will be the problem I think.

Well it doesnt matter the brand of the hard drive, just the speed. So if you could tell us the speed we can tell u if its the problem.

If the machine is low on ram the same thing will happen as well.
