Game temporarily freezes at each map start

[Ant'Iglias II]

Hello, I have been playing the game since v 2.2.3 and I love it. But when I upgraded to 2.3 my game started doing this freeze thing when I load a map. As soon as I see the map itself it just stops and does nothing for about 5-10 seconds. I'm not sure if this is a bug or it's just my computer or what. The game runs just fine after this happens though. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I have a couple second delay when I play several bots. My cpu gets maxed out

So if you have an older cpu and you are playing a lot of bots I think that would be normal.

OK, that's probably why. I just tried a game without any bots and it started right away. Thanks!
