Different lag and wrong version of maps
« on: October 06, 2013, 10:57:12 pm »
Hey guys i would really appreciate some help with this problem. I have been playing soldat 1.6.5 and I can barely play with 4 people before it starts lagging, but its ok when i dont play with that many people. The reason I say this is because when I played soldat version 1.6.3 it didnt do that. I could play with many people and my connection would still be fine. If anyone has any idea on how to fix this problem please let me know.

I also have a problem with some familiar maps on soldat version 1.6.5. For example, I'll start to play an online game on the map ctf_Ash, but then a few seconds into the game it will kick me out saying that I have wrong map version, but ctf_Ash is not the only map it does this with. And I only say this because I didnt have this problem on soldat 1.6.3, only soldat 1.6.5.

Please, if anyone has any idea on how to fix any of the 2 problems I have explained above, please give me your feedback as soon as possible. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I think the issue with ctf_Ash wrong map version could be that some servers use a non default version (or an old one) and we are missing a check for not downloading default maps.

As for the 1.6.5 lag issue: A few people already told me about this there will be no fix for this in 1.6.6 as it is too late now but 1.6.7 might have one.
If there is (still) no entry in the bugtracker for this issue please consider creating one with detailed information about how to reproduce it.

I dont know about that ctf_Ash theory because I've tried to play on ash on several servers and its kicked me out of the game on all of them, so I'm thinking maybe it's me, but you may be correct. But even still, thanks for the feedback man I really appreciate it.

Does it download the map when you get wrong map version errors?
It could be that you switch between 2 servers which have a different version of the map which makes you download it again and again.
I don't know what else could be the issue.

Hey no worries with that problem anymore man. It just automatically downloaded the new ctf_Ash version when I clicked on a game that was playing on the Ash map, so I'm not getting kicked out of those games on that map anymore. Thanks for your help though man.
