I think I might have narrowed the problem down to of all things...putting the map in a bz2...

I know it seems really weird, but last night I did another test and most people still crashed, but I found that while the game crashed, the bz2 was still in people's map folders, if they unzipped it, the map would run completely fine. So...what I need tonight is to test the raw BSP download instead of putting it in a bz2.

I also emailed Valve, but I dont have high hopes about them getting back to me. This will double the download size of the map from 15 to 30 megs, but its still a lot less than most custom PL maps are when they are put into BZ2s (Hoodoo is like a 60 meg Bzip).

If this works we can put out a V1, but will have to put in big bright red letters on the download DO NOT PUT INTO A BZ2  :-\
Yar.

Ill see if i can join.
Dunno what I'm doing tonight, but if I'm free I will definitely be there.

Well I was planning on doing it during FNF...which people seem to have conveniently forgotten about
I'm in.
I'll be thar for FNF fer sure.
Just a question for you Caff. Should I download Norad from FPSBanana, or am I going to want to get it off of the BRBU server when I connect?

No, this is testing a bug fix, which is only triggered when you _download_ the map from the server, so no, you can't get it before hand
Alright. I know I don't have the map on me so that's good.
It work?
