Server Downloads and never plays

[Doughboy101]

I was trying to get on the TCoD4 server today, and it kept downloading the custom maps. The game would pop up and when the download was done, it'd restart or something and redownload it.

Anyone know whats going on?

I'm not sure if it's related or not, but I was on last night to download all of the custom maps.

I went through the entire rotation starting at Backlot 2 all the way through Village (day). But when the rotation came back to Backlot 2, my game stalled on the checkerboard loading screen for that map, but no loading bar appeared.

The game then completely crashed with a "DirectX has had an unrecoverable error" message. I was able to successfully restart COD4 and rejoin the server, however.

Yeah, I couldnt get onto thew server because it keeps downloading one file, changed between around 200-500KBs, downloads, says setting up game, then start downloading again. Pissing me off, I wanna play =(

Worked for the first map, just keeps looping the download...

We're trying to fix the problem but unfortunately not having any luck. Any of the maps with the .iwd file, which means all but Backlot 2, are screwing up for some reason. We'll keep trying but we may have to postpone custom map day.

No, the issue you described in the Support section is different.

I'm interested in finding an answer for this. My clan's server has been having this same problem... We've been searching for an answer but haven't found a definative one.

I had the exact same problem when i was trying to play on the Total server. It dled sharki day well, then with Shipment 2, it began to download, but ended in a loop of dling a 400 some Kb file, then the game crashed. Could be repaired if we download the maps separately? Ie, no using the dl when you connect with the server.
