Updated: 30/04/06
Heya
As you have noticed as well, there are quite a few maps and other files which aren't working properly if you have to download them from our redirect server. This can have a few reasons. More important is how you can identify if something goes wrong and that you keep the name of the file in mind or note it down so we can fix those maps. I think it would be nice to fix them because we have a few maps which aren't playable anymore though, they would be nice.
Usually, you will notice that the download is very slow. This could mean that the file is not on the redirect server at all so you are forced to download it from our game server directly. Since the UT protocol is not designed to deliver such huge files, you will see that it can take really long until you receive the file even though, the download connection is really fast. However, this is not really likely as I usually don't forget to add files. Though, of course, it can happen Another thing could be that the file on the redirect server is there but it isn't the same version (build). This can happen if you open a specific file with UED and save it. It will get a new build even if you haven't changed a single thing. If you will upload that file now and you got the same file already but with a different build, you will receive a file mismatch. Then the download usually is also pretty slow and it won't stop downloading the file so you will see a percentage above 100 after some time.
Currently, we have the following maps on our server with redirect problems:
None
About these maps I'm not certain if there was any problem at all so would be nice if you can take a look if you come across it:
CTF-andACTION-PRO.ut2 -> Thought there is a redirect issues but I couldn't find a problem today.
CTF-BridgeOfFate.ut2 -> stock map, shouldn't have any problems really but someone said the server crashs whenever the map gets loaded. Though, just tried on the private server and looks fine.
Fixed so far:
DM-JapaneseGarden.ut2
DM-1on1-Finality2004.ut2
DM-Deck17-MK2-LE-RC14.ut2
DM-Campgrounds2004-LE.ut2
DM-Liandri2k4.ut2
CTF-GLined-LE102.ut2
I know there are more but I always forgot to note them down or remind it so I hope this helps a bit to solve that.
Well, it would be nice if you could report if you come across a problematic file which you have to download from our server so we can eliminated those issues. Please, let me know the file/map which is affected so I can take a look and I usually should find a solution to fix it. Also let me know what happens. If it just was slow but worked in the end or if it went above 100 % etc.
I will fix them if we have a few together or if it's a popular map, I'll fix it right away. Thanks
I don't know what is It. But this is WEIRD!!!
Unreal Engine 2 MUST KNOW THAT 100% is the maximum,
2. And It was downloading VERY slowly, but the 1st one was extremely FAST downloading.
3. On my LAN controller there is 2 LEDs: 1st is showing that It's on, 2nd is showing how fast is It receiving->if the LED is not winking, if It is constantly ON-that means, that the receiving is more than 2 mbps.-But It was about maybe less than 500 kbps!

Yesterday some ppl had trouble with a very slow download of "DM-1on1-Finality2004" I don't know if the download had worked finally, because I switched to another map.

Fixed? I'm not sure!-CTF-Tutorial Classic=loads DOM! CTF-Terra2004=false command for loading=connection lost and loads DOM again. CTF-The Bridge of fate=the same as Terra!
