Re: Map Rotation Problems In Portal - Anyone?

Anyone else have issues with map rotations in Portal?

I have a 16 v 16 HC TDM Server with the smallest of the Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein that works fine.

Tried adding all the smallest maps but randomly it would (without ending round) switch to the next map.

Tried adding just the smallest maps of Arica Harbor and Noshahr Canals and the first time it cycled fine, but then on restarting I was about 15 minutes into the first map and wanted to manually switch but was given an Error that pops from the top right and then when it went to switch on it's own, it went through the typical loading process and then BOOM... was back staring at the main menu of the game.

Buddy and I have even tried adding just Arica and noticed that it seems people might be having issues loading in... you see for example 2 v 1... but that 3rd person never shows up and happened on numerous occasions. Same issue was happening to me last night when trying to do some of my own testing.


I had that happen to me once. I couldn't replicate it or find out why it occurred though.

On second thought, it happened when I chose to skip to the next map.

    @Kean_1111Did you eventually get a rotation to work or just give up? Cause we've been testing repeatedly and still no success and have to go back to just the 2 map rotation.

    It seems totally random, but trying to sort through what exactly might be the issue would be WAY too time consuming. Could be related to certain maps not liking each other... maybe because something in our Rules Editor it doesn't like... maybe something with using 2042 operators with 1942 maps... just too many variables to work with and sort through.

    Yes, my map rotations have been working fine. It was only one time I had that issue where it started skipping forward after I had used the admin feature to manually skip to the next one.  

    Mine was a one-off event with this issue so far. Every other time it's worked as it is supposed to.
