apprently the server isnt always downloading the latest snakewater to the client, a few people are saying it just drops u from the server and u have to get it manually off google

Thanks for letting us know dazed

Here's a direct download link to the latest .bz2: http://www.thehh.co.uk/orangebox/tf2/ma ... c5.bsp.bz2

Just tested twice and it worked fine for me.

Sort of nonsense. Possible instance of confused people or something else wrong at the client end, because a fast download server is just something as simple as a web server, and if you are connected to a |H|H| game server then you also have complete connectivity to the download server.

This is where TF2 clients download maps from > http://www.thehh.co.uk/maps

It's there.

Who reported this to you?

Please go ahead and try and make it not download.

ye worked fine for me, but someone on the server said it kept dropping them and they had to get the map manually and shove it in their maps folder before they could get on, also the server was full and then once we got on snakewater about half of the people that were there seemed to have left...... suggesting others were havin problems.

well anyway just thought i would mention it in case something was up

Not many people have RC5 as it's still pretty new. Impatience/not wanting to wait for a new map to download is the main cause of a server losing players.

Looking at the access log for that file the only problem I see is http error code 206, which means a partial download. This only occurs when a user hits the cancel/stop button after a download has begun.

Maybe they forgot to allow dl of custom files and thats why they dropped

hmm just happened again, 19:25 pm, server has been full for hours, the map changes to snake and more than half the server dissappear and never get on :/

edit: 10 mins later and only 9 people left playing :/

perhaps someone could check the log at this time just in case?

thx
