Timed Out problems
.
How do you expect anyone to help you with this little information?
Gamemode? Amount of players? Amount of addons? Any logs?
.
.
Game freeze could mean a memory leak (no guarantee tho).
You have a lot of addons (too much IMO), probably one of those. Try the split method:
Split your addons in two:
Start be removing the first half of the addons from your server. If that does not fix the issue, try removing the other half.
If you find the right half that contains the addon causing this, start again from the top.
This is a fairly quick way to determine which addon is causing this.
And try to find logs, there are certain debug logs for clients, look it up online.
.
If you have uTime, consider removing it. I know that it can at least trigger Lua Panic on join, tho idk if it can drop users later down the chain.
Another issue I've had a lot of experience with is some cars crashing users when things like their lights are shot. Tho I remember it happening with a specific car maker (That I can't currently recall). Might be worth giving that a look into. I remember some SUV type car would crash anyone within PVS of it when the tail light was shot. Tho this would fully crash them, not time them out.
It sure sucks and can feel pretty helpless when there's an issue you just can't pinpoint, but you'll get there. Try and have users recall what they were doing when they timed out. If they're clumped together, it's likely some kind of entity event or PVS driven thing. If it happens to random users around the map, look for a link between them all. It might help figure out a potential cause.

I believe it stands for "Potentially Visible Set". It's essentially what the game thinks the user can see within that moment. So anything on the user's screen or within "hearing distance" is a pretty safe bet that it'll be in the user's PVS. Most addons don't need to utilize this much, as for the most part, it's important that every user knows exactly what's going on at all times. But the source engine uses it internally for a handful of stuff (Or at least to the best of my knowledge it does).

.
You are using 170 addons (only workshop stuff, local addons not mentioned) in your server.
Could be poorly optimized addons.
Do you really need 170+ ?
I mean you have some outdated stuff and even stuff like animal playermodels/sweps an unboxing system, "fps booster", "rocket boots" (what are those actually for lol), . Those seem pretty useless to me.
