Hi Rabid, apparently it is a vanilla 1.5 issue, but we'll investigate further and see what is causing the problem, I only got this problem yesterday not since 1.5 came out, and the stat server hasn't recorded anything since the 14th, so if it is an issue with that we'll look into it.
I enjoy playing regardless, but servers hanging for several minutes as they unsuccessfully try to download stats at the end of a round appears to be beyond the patience threshold of most players.
It says "There is a problem with your connection" and nothing happens for ages, so they naturally disconnect from the server.
It's far more frustrating than 'losing' a few points...
