[TF2] Game Freezes When Shooting At Enemy #7750
Description
During recent play of TF2 (roughly starting around Dec. 06, 2025, but that is a very rough guess), shooting enemies causes TF2 to freeze until a timeout occurs and normal gameplay resumes. In my experience, between every one (1) to three (3) shots I make at an opposing team member freezes the game for approximately 30s. It does not occur when shooting at members of my team.
The suspected error that is reported in console is: Relay candidates enabled by P2P_Transport_ICE_Enable, but P2P_TURN_ServerList is empty (as can be seen in the video). This error message shows every time a freeze occurs.

- No LSB modules are available.
- Distributor ID: Ubuntu
- Description: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
- Release: 24.04
- Codename: noble
Steps to re-create:
- Have Ubuntu (updated with latest updates & upgrades)
- Latest version of TF2 running natively
- Run TF2
- Enter TF2 match
- Shoot at an enemy. NOTE: You do not need to actually hit the enemy, just shoot near them. In the video, you will see the second shot clearly misses, yet triggers the freeze.
- After
nnumber of shots at an enemy, the game will freeze for several seconds before resuming. In my experience,nhas never exceeded three (3). - Wait roughly 30s for the game to resume from frozen state and attempt to play again.
- However, after shooting
ntimes at an enemy, it will once again freeze for approximately 30s and repeat the freeze process
