SH Maps Giving Zone the Boot
 

Noticed something over the weekend that pissed me off to NO end...

Some MP maps won't let the ole Zone man in! I find a server with, say, Holland running. I connect to the server, get about 2 seconds of the Holland loading screen, then *BOOM* I'm back in the friggin' lobby.

Any idea what's going on? I seem to be able to get into maps like Thunder II, Stadt, and the old AA maps, but maps like Holland and Malta boot me like an extra point. I only noticed this behaviour AFTER I installed the 2.11 "patch".

Any info would be much appreciated.

Open the console after you go back to the lobby to find the reason you got booted.

Happens to me all the time, you just have to rejoin the server and it will usually work

I'll give it a whirl tonight and get back to you guys.

Thanx for the quick replies.


Zone

yes, happens to me constantly. just type reconnect in the server. that shall break you free into the server.

Zoner, if this dosen't fix, lemme know.

Will do. Thanx Joe.


Zone

its the patch zone, its that bull they added that if the server have it u must have it

the same thing happens me just gota live with it cry:

Yeah, that happened to me a long time ago.

Hope it works Zoner.

I had that happen awile ago and was a sound issue.
These are some things you might want to tryout.

1. make sure your sound drivers are current.
2. make sure the audio settings are correct to the type of card you are using.
3. try turning the sound settings to a lower setting.. see if it clears up.

I know this for a fact.
your not the only 1 getting this problem.

when i get booted like that i just type reconnect in the console and that usually solves my problem. on top of that, the map is still fresh in the memory and loads alot faster.

A sound issue? How do you figure?

Well, it happened tonight on the aan.net server when Bahnoff (SP?) loaded. I checked the console and I saw this error:

Client/Server map checksum mismatch: c0248d59/c8bc5166

I tried reconnecting...no dice.

I'll try the sound card driver update since I'm already using the lowest sound setting.

This sux cat ass. mad:

I updated my SB Live! with the newest drivers on the Creative site, and still no go.

Is there anything else I can try (apart from a full uninstall/registry wipe/re-install)?
