new Bug 1.1.4 server dropping packets, congesting in voice channel, causing stutter.

seeing this in the server logs since 1.1.4, and would explain why this patch is much worse with stuttering

Hey @k0872,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll pass it on to the team.

that would be great, this is new since the latest patch which is much much worse for stuttering.

Is it since the patch 1.1.4 or the hotfix?

not sure but not 1.1.3

but also see this thread

https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=https://asciinema.org/a/V5aXG10PatIZmDpcdRN31NxUz

which describes and proves a thread leak with rcon and nwlp

which is another cause of performance degradation.

and whilst we are here, this one is confirmed cause of huge stutter at bot spawn
