I can play TF2 all day long with not a single issue (apart from me peeing my pants/starving to death) at over 150 fps, but as soon as I join the EU TF2maps.net server the game's unplayable. FPS immediately drops down to about 5 fps and stays that way for the rest of the time I have TF2 open, no matter what server/map I'm on. And no, it's not an unoptimized map problem, as I've had it now with over 5 different maps on the same EU server, and the US server isn't causing any problems.
It was fine before, but at some point something somewhere is strangling TF2 to death upon joining the server and keeps doing that until I completely quit the game and do a restart. If I join the EU server again after that restart the circle completes itself and the same issues start all over again.
Can some staff figure out what the hell is going on? Some config maybe? Plugins? I really want to play on and test maps made by this fine community but because of the issue described above I'm unable to. It's like watching a slideshow.
Might help to know I'm on OS X 10.10.4.
