March 21, 200421 yr tigerhawk and i had probs start last few days all of a sudden with coldwar map locking our 2 pcs. we deleted the steam..\fa\maps\coldwar files from both pcs ... when we both were playing this evening, and coldwar map in cycle started, we both got 15 min download of the map from you, then both got in and finished map without probs ... we both played on for hrs ... next time, around midnight, coldwar map was to start, AGAIN TOTAL PC LOCKUP ... !!Another prob all to familiar to y'all is small enclosed spawn points where spawners pile up, get stuck or die. Guess we must remember to get out fast ignoring the ammo box.Salute from Shultz.
March 21, 200421 yr I've never liked coldwar. I can say that a lot of the times the server clears out when coldwar comes up. I would personally like to see it removed from the map cycle.
March 21, 200421 yr Seems to have started with the latest Steam release and CD.Lets wait til Wednesday and see what happens.With our quick map download via Steam. It cannot take 15 minutes to download unless Gator turned it off.
March 21, 200421 yr Author Oh, I see. Wow, I can see !! Well the 15 min download didn't bother me as both mine and tiger pc here downloaded at same time.Still unsure why bot hpcs locked when codwar restarted at midnight. I tried it in won servers after that and had no prob there. o well.No one was intentionaly being disruptive, a common prob wit hsome maps seems to be small enclosed spawn area with too many spawning at once piling up and getting stuck or all dying, especially if ammo box there which should not be there or used i guess.
March 21, 200421 yr i also have had some problems with the cold war map loading.i can't say for sure everytime but in the last 2 days iplayed coldwar 2 times and both times while the map was loading up it would stop at the half-way point and just lock up.i have to close out of steam and go back again and even then the map will boot me out while loading a few times before i can play.don't know if it the same thing that sgt_shultz is taking about but i thought mention it.
March 21, 200421 yr 15 minutes if there in outer mongolia maybe i down loaded 1 map in about 45 seconds the first time the new ub61 came up.
March 22, 200421 yr It probably took that cause both pc's were downloading the same map at the same time . . . so that could be why it took so long.Plus today when we both joined The Armory Server it was already the coldwar map and we had no problem maybe the problem is when the map is changing from the force map to the coldwar map.
