Summary:
High-5 taunt stuck on servers.
Details:
It seems on any server for Skial you are stuck in the high-5 pose until you press your taunt button. I noticed this happening in Saxton, so i went to a normal server and it still does it. Any idea why?

It does not happen on Valve servers or non Skial servers it seems.​
 
Its a valve bug.

Bugs
  • If the command mp_usehwmvcds is set to 1, certain classes will not have their High Five! animations play. Instead, they will be stuck in the idle animation for their current weapon for the duration of the taunt.
  • If two players use the item while standing on an Engineer's Teleporter Entrance, both will be teleported.
  • Taunting while using the Sandman or Wrap Assassin will cause the ball/bauble to disappear in client view.
  • On occasion, a player will appear to be stuck in the High-Five position after holding the taunt between rounds. This hinders gameplay in that the hitboxes do not correspond with the model.
  • The particle effect created by the High Five! where the two participants' hands collide can occasionally be seen through walls.

It happens on every server.
 
It does not do it on Valve servers tho. Is it a plugin problem then because Valve did update a few days ago and then this problem sprang up.

They only fixed the High Five bug with the Engineer (which I had reported 3+ months ago on their bug tracker).
