Using my self-built binary, when I host a game by clicking "Host" from the lobby, after the game is set-up and I hit "play now", the MG window freezes, still showing the game set-up screen. The MG mouse pointer freezes where it's at (over the "play now" button). After about 90 seconds, I get the pre-game loading screen and the game starts.

This started somewhat recently, I can't pinpoint the exact time though. Could have been after I upgraded my video card or my computer, or after I switched from Debian 9 to 10. Other things haven't changed, such as I have the same ISP, the same wifi router, the same firewall configuration.

Here is my system report

This doesn't reproduce every time but almost every time.

It doesn't happen when I hit "play now" from the headless server, or when using the MG client from Steam, so just with my self-built binary.

That system report was flawed, this one is better: https://gist.github.com/andy5995/4a7f56b94977bee67d888c7ef3159419

It does not reproduce anymore now that I have a new ISP and wifi modem/router
