Short freeze on round start, then invisible people

So for a while I've had a problem where, in random pubs at the start of a new round, my game would freeze for 3 or 4 seconds (sound loop). In the game, some players' models would be invisible. I have to rejoin the server to fix the invisible player problem. Does anyone know what's causing both the freeze and the invisible players and how to fix either? Thanks ^^

Have you tried recording a demo and stopping it?

Invisible players is usually solved by recording a demo. Used to happen before, but not as often as it does now. The freeze sounds like a HUD problem since I get a similar effect from hud_reloadscheme, but I don't know for sure. Also, are you running fullscreen or windowed? That happened to me way back when I ran fullscreen on a bad computer.

I run in fullscreen. I'll try the demo recording thing and running in windowed.

i think what hooky said should work. there was another thread on the same thing. and everyone said record and stop a demo.
