    Missing map error - NOT your normal scenario

    Hi.

    First off:
    Just reinstalled windows, so I had to reinstall steam. So everything is fresh. I have also reinstalled steam to try to fix this issue, didnt work.

    So when I join the MG server the map is on mg_swag, so it starts downloading the map - I see the white bar move.. then all of a sudden the classic "Missing map xxxxx.bsp" shows up. So, I try again and now it downloads and I can get in the server. GREAT!

    To try to replicate the error again I deleted the map from my maps folder, sure enough, when I try to dl the map again, i get the ERROR about half way through the download(the white bars) But this time when I retry - I get the error again. This goes on a few more times until eventually it finally works, and I can get it

    So its really inconsistent as far as when it will work.. have done the above steps multiple times, and cannot find a pattern.
    I have tried it with MULTIPLE of maps.
    I had someone remove some maps from their download folder and try to redownload them, they had no problems
    I tried joining a different MG server - same problems as above
    My internet connection is stable - happens on wireless and wired.
    cl_downloadfilter all is set.


    Anyone have clues as to whats going on?

    Had that issue before. For some reason, your game caps the maximum filesize to a certain amount, so it keeps cutting off everytime you download, until, eventually, after a bunch of connections, you download the whole file. No idea how to fix it tho...
