[Crash] Map works but players can't connect

[Jazztastic]

After finishing the alpha version of my map, my friends and I quickly realized none of us could join it over LAN. We are all on the most recent version of warcraft, and have allowed permissions on all warcraft related folders. The lobby will crash for the hosting player anytime a player tries to join it, and it gives the connecting player the error "failed to receive data". The game works fine inside the test map launcher, as well as when a player hosts it by themselves on LAN (besides no one being able to join it).

It is worth noting that we do not have any other connectivity issues with other maps. We played a handful of custom maps after failing to test my map, all of which worked perfectly fine and had no issues.

Try shortening the name
Like making the name be SBHFMFPA.

This is a current bug with LAN, where you cannot download maps when you join a lobby hosted there. Make sure both players have the same map before trying.

Even with having all players put the map inside their dl folders, the map keeps dumping players back to the LAN game screen. Is it possible I'm suffering from wc3 patch updates?

Did you even try noob's suggestion?

I had assumed it was a joke, no I have not tried shortening the file name. I'll give it a whirl.
