Small follow up, I'm seeing the following sound net message being sent during one of the spikes:
Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Msg from XX.XX.XX.XX:27015: svc_Sounds: number 1, reliable, bytes 5 Except perhaps 100 lines of this for what appears to be a giant packet received in a single tick. This would definitely give credence to any possible send buffer overflows if many sounds are being emitted in a single frame. In fact, earlier one of my servers entirely cleared out with every client being disconnected with the following message: ERROR! Couldn't send snapshot. Also, another issue with the taunt menu: if a client receives a full world update, they will no longer display the taunt menu and will instead use the normal taunt. Recording a demo and stopping it is all that's needed to reproduce this.
