Are you using a steam version? I think I will uninstall and reinstall the game again and take another wack at it. While in game it tries to download the next map but freezes me out. Its like its almost ready, but won't launch. Will anybody who tries to play acemod for the first time get the same problem? I've been playing this game ever since it came out. That's about 15 years. Started with using a disc. Then re-bought it from steam, they auto update the patches and stuff. No brainer. No issues till now. All this crap happen after a rebuild and I didn't back up my game files. Hadn't given any thought that our downloader was abandoned. Awards

If a usermaps folder is not there all you have to do is create one. Right click, new folder, name it usermaps.

I will cross my fingers and see what happens. Ya know its just so weird that you just can't download the maps as you play. At least I can't. Its like your locked out to anyone who doesn't have all the maps. Thanks for the help and good hunting. Awards

Maybe for some reason it wasn't creating a usermaps folder and was hanging you up when downloading a map.

Without having to type in %appdata% in run, I would have never been able to find it. So will see how it goes. However not being to just download maps as you play is weird, at least I can't. Awards

I think its a disconnect from the server issue. Got any Ideas? Ya know its not uncommon for me to get disconnects from this server from time to time, errors no big deal. but nothing on level. played for years, now this, every map switch freezes. Its not like I live in New Guinea, I'm in Los Angeles on a good 120.39 download Mbps 14.00 upload. Maybe reset router. Not using wifi. Awards

As far as I make of it. Now it was set to: Follow my global setting { stop background downloads}. never messed with it, never had an issue with it. I will switch it to { Always allow background downloads} maybe this will make a difference. rebooted my router today also. Awards

No Acemod or anything. Also check firewall option. Its set to allow WaW. and all other games I play to allow. Now on Windows game options, tried game mode on and off, no difference, running razer software which runs in the back ground, always connect to their server. turned that off. No difference. Awards

Did all the patches, It wanted a new Profile name, did that. Extracted all the maps into { usemaps } and the exact same behavior. No difference. Will not connect to the next map. You know how you see 3 sets of green bars zip across the next map. Well it gets to the third and it get to about 10% and freezes. Or no green bars at all. I'm stumped. Actually after my new build it played excellent. Then out of nowhere its starts doing this. Its like really trying to reach the usermaps file but can't. So lets uninstall the CD version and reinstall Steam version to see what happen now. The exact same damn thing. All custom maps have been extracted into the usermaps file. Now what. I'm thinking its a console command that's out of wack. All my other Steam game work fine. Edited January 2, 2020 by KTWEST Awards

Maybe update or uninstall? We don't use PB. Remove the custom maps from your usermaps folder and just let the game download them. What can happen and is sometimes an issue is that your copy of the map is different than what is on the server so the server tries to download and overwrite but I've seen this be an issue before.
