gathered multiplayer maps do not work on web

Post by winsrp »

Ok a little background

One day I wanted to play some online games, and didn't wanted to host so I click on lobby. I found a game waiting there, and they had a new map... so there was even more reasons to stick in.

We all downloaded the map, and started playing... all went cool.

Later on, I wanted to play that map a little more by myself, so I went to singleplayer skirmish, and played a couple round.

Later on a couple of buddies wanted to play, so I hosted the game with the new map and it was downloaded to all my buddies, then when we all clicked check, it starts loading and the game crashes to desktop, same with other 2 or 3 maps I have gathered the same way, all playable in skirmish, but not on web.

Is this a known bug, it only happens to me, any ideas?

What maps were these? Perhaps you should make a ticket, and upload them there so we can take a look at them.

As long as you place the maps in the correct location configdir\maps (where configdir is whatever config dir is on your system--it is the same location of the config file, and the savegame directory is) and it is a .wz file, and is NOT a map pack, then it should work. The HOST will read them from that directory, and send them to the correct directory on the clients machine.

Also, crash logs /dumps would be nice...
and it ends here.
