Starting last week my Tf2 started to have these small freezes where my view is fixed and the game continues around me. When I shoot a rocket right before the freeze, it will shoot a rocket during the freeze. After about 1 second my view will snap over to a different position and it lets me continue playing.
Heres a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXdt6mvg8OE
It happens around maybe every 5 Minutes, sometimes more sometimes less and also happens offline.
Switching from mastercoms medium-low to low I didnt really feel a difference in frequency.
But I played a bit with default hud and it felt like it would happen far less often than with other huds.
Any ideas on how to fix?

I've had this once in the past and for me the mouse was the problem. Have you tried using a different mouse?

For a while now, I have been randomly hearing the windows unplugg sound and it was my mouse unplugging and immediatly replugging. It hasnt happened for a few days now, but its decently likely that my mouse is the problem.
I dont have a different mouse lying around, so Ill go buy one and update later.

could be a usb port issue

on mouse side if it happens regardless of usb port it could be a dried solder joint or maybe the cable is starting to give up.

If the problem seems to get worse and worse I suggest tearing down the mouse for a cable and solder joints visual inspection.

used to have a vaguely similar issue, turning the polling rate down in my mouse software fixed it for me

i'm also having this problem and it just started recently as of this sunday.
tried all my usb ports and two dif mice, reinstalled twice and played with default settings, tried dif dxlevels, dif cfgs and native res, messed with mat_queue_mode, and rolled back my gfx drivers.
i also don't have this problem on any other game so i don't know what the issue is.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turning down polling rate didnt fix the problem, but it felt like it would happen less often.
Switching to a cheap office mouse did fix it for me though, so for me it was my mouse beeing the problem.
Thanks everyone and I hope youll get yours fixed as well odb.
