definetly sounds like a master server issue,
coz our server has recently been doing same thing , and our maps are set up in vtemaps .gsc, with a very small rotation if server lies empty..
ive been having to open console and /reconnect several times before it seems to "catch"..
thot it was just me and some of my clan that had this issue,
but after reading this thread , looks like a master server issue..
