Frequently on the game server, it will enter “gamestate” in which the server will try to correct poor signals. At that point, all (or most) players in the game will be frozen for a limited period of time. Another server behavior is to have you be temporary frozen until the lag corrects itself. Unfortunately, it leaves you very vulnerable to enemies unstuck. Be careful giving commands at this point because there is a keyboard delay as well. When you become unfrozen, prepare to have been possibly killed. 🙁 Too much lag might cause the player to be kicked off the server. When in gamestate status, you can still chat with others via the ENTER key or the ESC key. (The ESC menu shows ping count of each player in the game as well as the amount of lag that person is experiencing. To get your ping, ask someone else to check your name on their ESC menu. To help counter high ping as a host, you can prevent high ping players from joining the game. Lower the MAXPING setting on the game preparation
