Some people get booted when map changes
« on: May 03, 2007, 01:27:52 pm »
The title perfectly describes my problem. I'm using Soldat dedicated server 2.6.0, and it seems people randomly get kicked/disconnected when a map changes. Not everyone gets kicked, but only a few people do. I was talking to my friend who was connected to my server at the time and it said something about "wrong map version" and "unable to download file" or something like that, when he got disconnected. He and everyone else is using Soldat 1.4. It can't be a problem with my config, as only *some* people get disconnected at map change, not everyone.

They gotta download the map, they disconnect because they dont have the map, and if you enabled downloading, they can download the map when they join again

Sure it can, if some people have the map and others don't.

I didn't add any custom maps to my server. I'm using ONLY maps that came with Soldat, no custom ones at all. Therefore, there shouldn't be a need for anyone to download anything. I also have downloading enabled, and I did the connection test here:

Everything checks out 100%, so I don't see how it could be a problem on my end.

Some maps are known to cause problems (like Airpirates) and will be fixed sometime. It might also be a problem with the clients trying to connect.

I can confirm this because I've had the same problem. It's not a big deal, they can just press Join again. I'm not sure it's a map issue, I know there's a problem with Airpirates (I've posted about it), but sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, like randomly. By the way, i found out that some people can actually join and play with Airpirates, but I can't... in my own server!
