Server Issue ET Silent Mod connection Interruption

[MedicKilla]

I play on the EPTG Silent mod Linux server and our server Admin doesn't know what settings are needed to fix issues on our server. While playing on a Linux box, I keep getting Connection Interruption and my game play freezes for about 1 minute. I run traceroutes and nothing shows up over 25ms. I run traceroutes to our server at eptg.hut.pizza, I run mtr traceroutes and sudo traceroutes. None show issues. I have the lagometer running and when I get the Connection Interruptions freezes, it shows the issue is server side, not client side.

Does anyone know what correct, full server settings should be set at? I have played on other servers like Old Farts server, MAYHEM server and ATS servers. I never have any issues on their servers, only ours, which again points to an issue with our server settings. With all the traceroutes showing no communications between my client and the server, it again looks like server setting issue. I have never run or set up a server personally so I don't know what settings the server should have. Can anyone help with a list of ET Silent mod Linux server settings so I can pass them on to the server owner to match them to the correct server settings or if anyone knows of any commands I can put in my Linux console or server game console that may fix this issue? Other players on our server get Connection Interruptions but theirs only last a few seconds and they're able to continue playing.

It is hard to know what cause this with so little info. But here are the silent server cvars that you might ask:

This is something I think without much much more information from that server team we would be unable to troubleshoot. Silent itself should not be causing this. I would imagin if you get small freezes and other clients are getting this the server got hung on a frame. Id check installed LUA models first and see if any non-async requests insides those lua or DB read/writes are causing hang while server "waits" for disc to finish the frame.

If I'm frozen, other players are still playing.

I have no idea. I don't have server admin privileges. If I did, I'd be able to fix settings. I'm looking for someone that knows silent mod server setup settings so I can give the correct settings to our server owner so he can fix any incorrect server settings. No one knows which of our server settings are off and causing this issue. I'm the only one that completely freezes, but several others get short freezes, about 3 seconds. Mine are 1 minute freezes.
