%$$#$ help im going nuts

[RedLeg]

This is driving me crazy I have no probs joining MP stock maps but I cant get on custom maps everything appears fine then when the game goes to load it says 0/kb of 0/kb and nothing and after a few it disconnects. If anyone can find it in their hearts to help i would really appreciate it. Thank you RedLeg Led poisoning sucks

The custom maps you are loading - do they contain any addons (offical or unoffical) that you don't have loaded?

If so this might be the issue.

[RedLeg]

they are offical, bye the way i am running betta version 1.27 my clan and i from dflw all just got this game last week i am the only one w/the problem

[ufo_hk]

and you're all running the same version of OFP 1.27 ??

(don't think this is the issue as you've stated you can join stock maps - but might as well ask just in case)

Ok not much help so far - so one more question, is there any difference between if you host or you join -using remote IP connection? (not GS or ASE)

get the MP missions that we use the most from my sig below it might help you

I take it is the dloading that you stall on
make sure you have the latest Dirext X 8.0a

if you have Cable DSL then go here for a Speed Tweak
