Custom Map Problem

[=HBW=MrGrimm]

I'm curious if anyone else is having this problem.

Our squad uses alot of custom maps and have never had a problem until we updated to the latest version of BHD.

The problem is that when someone joins our server the're game shuts down but when we just have the stock maps running no one has this problem.

Any help would we be greatly appreciated

I found sysdumps happen in custom map building if I use any start markers called PRIMARY.

In previous versions this worked fine but in BHD, in actual fact it doesnt exist.

Reselect the Primary Spawn and you will see it defaults to 10th Mountain Ranger which always happens if something is in which has deprecated but not actually been erased from the code.

Of course if you are using maps by lots of different people then I dont know the answer.

Some information on your server setup would be nice.
For instance is it dedicated? If so it maybe that the maps are flawed and even the host doesnt know seeing as how he doesnt actually play them.

Is it everyone that tries to join or just some unlucky people that get shut down?
etc etc.

Odd problem if everything is otherwise normal.
The fact that the stocks are packed into a PFF and customs arent might be part of it but again unless someone is running a server who doesnt know how then I am not sure what the answer is without more info.

Thanks zza1pqx for the quick response

Here some more info, if anyone needs it to be more detailed I guess I'll have to get the host to post it

its a dedicated server and yes the host knows how to run a dedicated server LOL

All the customs we are using came from Nova Arena and some from here, they worked fine until we updated yesterday

The only people that wasn't having this problem was the host and myself. We got our members to uninstall the game and then reinstall but they still had the same problem.

The only different between the host, myself and the rest of the squad is that we both have the maps in the BHD folder (not sure if that means anything)

How very odd.
There is an Italian dude in another thread who is getting punted from game after a few moments which only happens when they use the NoCD patch.

One of our members used to get that same problem until the new updated fixed what happened to be a VidCard compatability issue.

They should have been resolved in this new patch.

I suggest going to Novaworlds site and checking the knowledge base and if not, grabbing the Phone Number and getting hold of them direct.
The guy who had this problem in the last version said they were actually very helpful indeed. And now of course he isnt having the puntings he used to and is enjoying being whupped in my customs server.

Yes. I can see how that would perturb you.
Very odd.
Sorry Im not much more help.

(more of a blaggart than a techie)

After updating to newest patch, I was getting sys dumps or game reloading after 15 - 30 seconds of any map. I tried using a no cd patch and nothing.

I did uninstall BHD and check registry for any bhd left overs. rebooted and re installed. Then I downloaded new patch to my PC and updated that way.

Played last night with no problems as of yet. Knock on wood!

It could be a problem with the updater or something since that is how I first updated.

Just a thought...

I use all custom maps also...

Thank for the help

I think I fixed it, I got a wild hair up my a#@ and decided to covert all the maps back to mis and then open them up in the map editor and convert them back to bms and as off right now no one is getting punted (holding my breath)

Dont you just hate it when the only way to solve a problem is to do something so daft that the tech desk would probably have told you not to bother?

LOL so very true!!!!!
