Auto-download map bug

[Kahless]

I find this bug to be extremely annoying. When the match ends and the scores are about to come up, if the next map to be played needs content downloaded Soldat just quits out of the game to the join menu before displaying the score from that match.

Also, I thought map content was supposed to auto-downloaded, is there any reason for Soldat to disconnect from the current server? After quitting back to the join menu, it usually says I don't have the map, and in order to download it I have to manually rejoin the server, after which it downloads it and the match starts.

yes.... to auto-download the map.

How can it just change to the next map gracefully if you don't have the map files?  It kicks you out of the server so that you're forced to re-join, and when you re-join is when it downloads the map files.


Unless Soldat adds something like how CS and other games handle downloading map content (having a loading screen between maps), this is how it has to work

Yes of course it will return you to the join page if you don't have the content, downloading takes non-zero time and server won't wait. My beef is that it boots you before you get to see your score of the last match, and that you have to re-join for the download to begin, it should assume you wish to continue on that server and auto queue the download.

All I can say to this is that you should  play on a server enough to get all the maps so it isn't a worry. Though yes, it is very annoying.

You still have to click on the Join button again. Can't you make it so it automatically rejoins, rather than  you clicking join? Some people might not understand why they got kicked from the server...

You get a message saying it's because of the map, so what's the problem of clicking join?
I know it's annoying, but I think it's more annoying when you join a server and it starts downloading and it hangs for a while, beinig unable to do anything. In 1.4.1 this has ben improved, but it's still not working properly.

I don't have a problem with it. I prefer it this way than that I get told to download the map manually. I also have the choice to not download any **** maps that I don't want (Something that annoyed me in CS, oh no, not another de_blockworld >_> )
