[Crash] People getting kicked out of my map

[Cryze666]

first up: sorry the thread might not be 100% correct here but i didnt find a more suitable topic

when i host one of my maps and players want to join they stay for a few seconds and then they get kicked off the game (i tried this with friends who for sure didnt leave manually). anyone knows smth about this issue? (already happened with the same map before 1.31)

 

[Pyrogasm]

You mean kicked from the lobby, not disconnected from the game after it starts, right?

 

[Cryze666]

yes in the lobby, when i send them the map before and they add it to their mapsfolder manually everything is working fine, other maps can be downloaded without issues

i attached the map

Maybe it’s because of the 8 mb map size limit? Tell your friends to download limit remover.

 

[Cryze666]

that 8 mb limit was removed long time, wasnt it? isnt it about 128mb right now?

Correct

Oh didn’t know that, I’m still with the old patches.

However I still suspect that the problem is with custom files that other players are missing is what gets them kicked (I had similar problems). I’m not into this but maybe the map needs custom resource files or something. Does the problem occur only with the map you attatched?

 

[Cryze666]

yes only with that map, another map i made has about 80mb and works without issues

 

[HellvsHeaven]

Correct

Its actually double that.

Try changing the file name. Maybe there is something happening on Battle.net side with several different map files uploaded with the same name?

 

[Cryze666]

idk if the filename is really an issue but sure i'll give it a new name and will try to host it again

 

[Cryze666]

changing the filename didnt fix it :/

when i try to upload the map on epic war it says: "Invalid magic number in map header"
and people trying to join the game getting error msgs

Try posting your map header here.

 

[Cryze666]

how do i do that? idk where to find the map header

In the trigger editor, by clicking the map icon over the triggers.

 

[Cryze666]

if i click on that icon nothing happens ... - can only rename it

Check your initialize triggers, always use Time Elapsed event, also I am downloading it right now, will edit it later!

Edit: I have specifically checked, change your Event - Map Initialize to Time - Elapsed 0.01 second and everything should be fixed.

 

[Cryze666]

ill try do to so, just wondering how that affects ppl in the lobby already, will provide feedback aftee testing

 

[Cryze666]

nope didnt help, it seems like maps with a large filesize need to be "uploaded" to b-net now, before that upload isnt complete ppl cant join the game and get the "failed to receive map data" error + a kick - for larger maps as mine that means it takes about 1 min of ppl joinen and getting kicked but after 1 min everything seems fine

That's because blizzard added a new download screen ;]
