<div class="IPBDescription">GAHHH</div> this has happened to me several time, i'll be playing a game and i'll get some sort of error that says cl_mapname flush packet error or problem
it's really pissin me off, it takes several min to go away if at all. this only started happening on the 1.02 server patch.it also makes my lag spike up and i can't move or do anything. just thought it should be known about.

    When that apears in the upper right hand corner just hit ESC and then hit resume game thats always been the way of fixxing it.

    I also get it often. Is there any more permanent fix, or a script that can do it automatically without having to switch screens?

    If you are talking about CL_FlushEntityPacket, there is a few things you can do, lower your rate & lower your cl_updaterate and see what happens. If you go in the console and type net_graph 3, you'll have a graph appearing on the bottom right, if there is a lot of red stuff, go in the console and type rate 7000, if it doesn't help, try rate 6000 & if you still have a lot of red in your net_graph, try lowering your cl_updaterate at like 50 to begin with, then go lower.. if you are on dialup, your rate should be around 3000-5000, not more and your cl_updaterate should be at around 25-35.. I'm on ADSL and have my rate at 8000 and cl_updaterate at 55 and have no problems but when I start having troubles with like spike & stuff like that, I'll lower both variables and see if it goes better.
