Map can't load to certain players

[Vunjo]

Hello there. I was wondering if someone knew the answer to this question. You see, I've been reworking a map for a year, to create the "complete" version of it. Since I've remade and added tons of things, I can't say for sure what is the exact reason. Whenever I try the map, alone, or with my friends, it works fine for them. However, I've been getting some posts that people cannot run the map, it gets stuck on loading screen. Disabling 3D sound worked for some people, not for all, and the PC was not "bad" enough to run the map. I can't determine the problem, since it always worked and still works for me and my friends. Does anyone have an idea?

Help appreciated.

Quite amusing, try to ask them what patch did they use.

how about models? are you using a HQ models? if yes, tell them to set the quality to high

Hmm, I might be using them, not sure though. I also forgot to mention that I used optimiser for the map.

that might be the problem, i'm not sure though..

Post the map initialization trigger if you can

Ehm, I'm talking about an ORPG, with over 800 triggers...not quite possible.
I do load 1000 variables + though.

EDIT: Yeap, one of the problems was the version. Sometimes it's 3d sound, other times HQ models.

I'm still not sure if those are all the options that can cause it, if there's anything else you might now, please post.

HQ most probably. I played GoU(Gems of Unification) in the past and for a certain computer, it won't work(stuck on the loading screen). Then I heard of those HQ stuff.

The best option for all players is to have the stats at Options set to High, this is not good for weak PC though.
Also, make them uses the patch that is recommended for playing [presumably 1.26a is the best]

And if you're on a mac, certain textures will cause the map to freeze and then crash (which is often at the loading screen). So check if any of your friends run a mac (I kind of doubt it). But if they do, just let me know via PM and I'll check your map for compatibility.

EDIT: And as rheiko and Daffa said, make sure they set their texture options to high!
