Steps to produce problem:

Wait for lag (just a 1-2 second)
Dont listen players (you see blink nicknames in the lower right corner, and dont see avatars in player list)
Be kicked from server, and see crashed steam.

Likely related to #1853, there’s a voicechat issue in steam that’s happening for users. It crashes steam which causes this network issue back in the game. Not specific to DoD:S.

Some users have reported that disabling or removing pulseaudio avoids the crash. I understand this isn't a solution, but it's an interesting thing to test to try and localize the problem. If disabling pulseaudio avoids the crash you should report your experience to the pulseaudio folks.
