We've been having this issue on all four of our TF2 servers. We haven't really figured out what causes it. Our first thought was that it is related to the ctf_doublecross map, so we pulled it from our rotation on the one server that used it. The problem started to manifest in other servers that weren't running doublecross, though. At this point, we are blaming it on the Equipment Manager sourcemod plugin. Since removing that plugin from our servers, they haven't been freezing. We haven't added doublecross back to the server it was being used on, yet, but I'm really hoping that it's not the cause, since that map is extremely fun to play.
