I noticed this too, however, i believe this has more to do with the maps itself. Some of the new custom maps are 50-80 mb heavyweights.

I've noticed slow map changes for a while, don't know if it's my connection or what, but the setup time is usally gone by the time I get on.

It's been taking me ages to et onto maps as well. It keeps trying (successful or not, not sure) to download a Benny hill mp3 for every single map. Seemingly whether ive played it before or not!!

Bloody Benny hill.

just use the check box in multiplayer settings that says "do not download custom sounds"

I don't think Benny is the problem, but I might be wrong. My understanding is that once the files are downloaded once, they aren't downloaded again, it checks for the existence of the files on your harddrive and if found uses them.

The loading screen shows the last checked file, but isn't actually stuck on that file, it's stuck on the server synchy bit, just doesn't show it

If you go into the multiplayer options and change the content option from 'allow all content' to 'do not download custom sounds' and reconnect it wont try to get the sounds

report back here if it makes a difference to loading times. I've only played a few times since the heavy update myself, so I can't say one way or the other if it takes longer.

If I was trying I'd have it.

But really, no problems once so ever.
