CTF-CBP1-Betrayal Probs
Is anyone else having trouble trying to play the map CTF-CBP1-Betrayal? It crashes 2K4 every time I try to play it, whether online or locally. From the preview of it I remember playing it (or something very similar) in the past, but it could have been in 2K3 I suppose. I don't see anything obvious in the log file, so doesn't seem to be as simple as a missing file.
Anyone have any clues or suggestions?
Thx!

Same problem here so I did a bit of detective work on the map and it turns out it is the crows! Specifically the custom sound "Kraaa1". If this sound is eliminated the map loads and plays just fine.
I tracked this down by looking at the crash log for UT2K4 and it looked like it was crashing in the sound thread. Just lucky that it was a custom sound and not one of the supplied sounds.

You rock, Doc! I was thinking it was a sounds problem, and had even seen references to the "Kraaa1" file in the past, but my most recent logs didn't mention it. The new version without the crows seems to work fine.
Thanks much!

Re: CTF-CBP1-Betrayal Probs
Hmm...the server is set to CBP1-Betrayal right now, and even if I download this new map I cannot seem to connect without crashing (it's the same audio layer crash).
Can Betrayal just be removed from the map rotation?
(oh, yeah, by the by, I should hopefully be returning to the clan, assuming I can connect to the server!)

Even though I already have a map by the same name, the server wanted to download it. If it's the old map with the sound problem, then I'm assuming the bug would come back. It should probably either be removed, or else replaced by the patched version.

Yes. If you replace the original with the modified version in your Maps then the server sees that you do not have its version and pushes it to you. This map should either be taken out of rotation or replaced on the server with the "fixed" version. Before I modified the map I tried to see if I could contact the author but i could find no contact info.

Re: CTF-CBP1-Betrayal Probs
The server seems to be "stuck" on betrayal right now, which poses a pretty big problem...
I guess a server admin needs to fix this?
