I downloaded the new toribash (5.33) and I can't do one match without the game freezing for 20 seconds (many times followed by a ping or crash) Anyone know why this is, and/or how to fix it?

Please paste contents of stderr.txt file after you crash and attach crash dump file(s).
All those files should be in your Toribash folder.

Dunno if you believe me or not, but I was having the same issue pinging when the new update came out. But a windows update fixed it for me. I still have yet to ping.
