Last night thef0x and I spent a number of hours playing a dozen maps on our new server. Had a great time, discovered no new bot bugs. The existing bot problem in Brescia of bots not being able to climb the moat ladder was particularly vexing, however.

The "invisibility" problem popped up during our play. We were going through the map rotations, everything was normal, the map changed to "Base" and I suddenly became invisible. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting, but still the same. This carried over to the next map in the sequence (Beach). At the next map rotation (Brescia), I returned to normal and remained so for the remainder of our session. Curious . . .

I've got a question about "mp_theguns" for those of you who have played it. When I get to the actual guns themselves, my frame rate drops drastically to just a few fps when I attempt to climb the ladder up to the gun carriage. It happened to thef0x as well. Later, I ran the map offline by myself without bots and encountered the same slowdown.

To check out whether this was due to my 2-yr old video card, I reduced the screen resolution from 1280x1024 to 800x600. This increased the frame rate while in other sections of the game, but it still struggled while in the guns area. Is this a characteristic of this particular map?
