For those that have a CTD when loading a map, what % is it crashing? Is it crashing when you click join or is it crashing during loading? This matters because it could indicate what is causing the crashes. I know that the maps load for me when I use "create local", if this is widespread then it could be a problem with the mod on dedicated servers... I hope this isn't the case because it could be very hard to fix. I should be around during the NABO time tonight to take part in testing. Sorry for the problems you had during the EUBO.

I would expect client.zip and server.zip along with info folder in the map levels. Most dont have that.

wtf??? I know my pack had those in it for sure!!

Those should be in every map, I know I had them in mine as well...

Ok, I looked at the maps/installer and the maps that everyone DLed should work just fine. Some of the maps I worked on weren't packed up, but the files they need to run are still there and they work when I try to load them on my machine. I remember packing the maps up, but maybe the installer unpacked them or something. From what I could see, all of Matsif's maps stayed packed up, and 2 or 3 of mine stayed packed up. The rest still have the files they need and work, but they are unpacked.

Thanks for the reply Fishy. By me, it starts to loadup the map... the bottom indicator bar starts moving along and just between 1/5 or 1/4 of the way in it stops and CTD. I tried this on quite a few maps and the point at when it CTD is about the same everytime.

I know you will both be giving it your best shot, and hope the answer is quick and easy for you both.

Looking forward to your comments.

Edited by Angel: Looking in the Maps in the Levels Folder, the following are unpacked and don't have a Server.zip or Client.zip file:
Spies Like us
Orel
Olesko Keep
Day of Damnation
Crimea
Berezan
battle of Sambir

Ok, I'm getting the same crash, so we have some kind of problem with the GCMOD on dedicated servers. It works with the "create local" function, but something must be missing for it to work on dedicated servers. I will try to find a solution, but, if I can't find it in time for the campaign, then I suggest we use the POE 2 versions of the maps in the meantime.

Yeah Fishy

Most where getting if not all that connecting to the server you get CTD sometimes when fully loaded or just loading the textures? tried it on all settings i could think and nothing? works fine on single mode just not on multiplayer online? dont know what the difference would be.??

Have found a way to get the maps to work on the server and able to play no issues as Angel and myself tested them all last nite.

I had to do the following:

1. patch to 2.1
2. Remove folder gcmod
3. Install Fishy "Fixedinstaller" to the new folder gcmod.
4. set video ingame settings to medium

Should now work the EU and NA server are running maps so please test and post if not working and will try sort it out for you all
