Ok, when I played today (as firebug if that counts for anything) In the later waves, fellow players started to go invisible (making it impossible for me to find the medic) Also, the ZEDs went invisible, too. I couldn't see any ZEDs at all. My flamethrower flames were invisible, I couldn't see anything burn. Also, I can't even see where i'm getting attacked from. I die in literally two seconds by a horde of gorefasts that I never saw, I couldn't even see them after a 360-degree turn :(.

Also I get strange glitches while swapping through weapons and buying weapons at the trader. For example, I buy myself a little handcannon :p and I attempt to switch to it and it doesn't pop up. I can't even fire it. I can see on the ammo counter: "Handcannon. 8 - 0 " I got no ammo spare as I should. Worst part is, I can't even switch to my other equipment so I'm stuck with an invisible pistol that I can't even use. The only way to get out of that is to drop the handcannon or sell it at the trader or buy another 9mm.

Basically, In a 6-man game in the later waves, I'm totally useless. I have a solid PC spec and connection (ping is always under 90), and I just don't see what the problem is.

I also edited the Killing Floor files so I could get gorelevel 10 instead of 2, but I did get the weapons glitch many times before that.

Well, I desperately need a fix, it's doing my head in! D:

Maybe I should upgrade my PC.

Upgrade it 100%.

Server hickup. You'll probably hear stuff going on around you and take damage, etc. It's very likely everyone on the server experienced something similar in various degrees at the time.

Nothing to really worry about. If you're getting it frequently then stop playing on that server.

This bug does happen to me today for the first times x_x . I bought a machette , the wave began , then a lag ... and no more machette and no more players .

Just sounds, noise and then death by a stalker who was really invisible this time xD .

Annoying =/

Because packet keep losing, so strange lag like this will happen.

That's a little different. With packetloss you'll get anything from occasional warping to getting stuck in limbo where everything starts running into walls. Just you and no one else.
When a server hickups (or right when it dies) everyone will get a massive ping spike and lots of warping at once. Everyone usually ends up dying because of the way the server acts as authority determining collision and tracehits and the AI being controlled by the server not being effected by latency. If you have ever seen anyone lag out of a server from packetloss you'll understand how hopeless they are because all they seem to do is stand there. When the server has a connection problem this basically happens to everyone and the AI is free to do their worst.
Not a bug, just something happened to the server. Maybe someone checking their email.
