try to play on mp_character_room map........ban system check chainging bytes on regular maps so sometimes it will freeze cause of detection aand anti ban protects u and on this special map the ban system do not proof if bytes are changing cause its a "test" map and normally u won't be able to get there. I modded the hell out of this game on this map without any freeze for days.......means the ban system didn't check this one........and the other thing is that they even checked out to see if u changing u're name in the lobby and this also cause in a ban try/freeze. Everytime i changed my name i played 2 or 3 games and it ended in a freeze. Now i do not change my name anymore and just what i thought..........can play and mod on all maps & modes without any freeze for 4 days now.......hope i could help u out with that cause i see everybody here use DEX and btw...........i'm on CEX with Force Host, using non Host mods & (the best) changing everything in every mode and the ban system don't recognize it.
