Well, thanks Buckkillr8, for the help. but  a usermaps folder is just plain not there. 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.

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

Hi Buckkillr8

Just created a usermapps folder, extracted all maps into that folder and just as I was finished got your post. 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.

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

I have a solution what you need to do is go to run (hold down your windows home button and press r) type %appdata%. then up in the link you will see appdata, click it then go to local and there you go you now have the activison folder. Here is the link, C:\Users\monro_000\AppData\Local\activision\codwaw\mods

Yes but how to access it was not that simple for me. 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.

Yes but I don't think that's the problem. 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.

Not sure if the the steam version is exactly the same in options but in the cd verson, there is a game setting to allow downloads. Is this setting in the steam version?

Yes their is an option to allow downloading while gaming, but its geared more to downloading updates for other steam games during a gaming session or installing another game while you are playing something else. 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.

No Merlin is talking about in the options in WAW.  While in game look in options, then multiplayer options and make sure "allow downloading" is set to yes.

Furthermore, if you have the map already, and it's in the right location you shouldn't be hanging up in server when going to it.

The one thing that is missing is the mod selection in multiplayer options is {blank}. 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.

Well I gave up on the Steam version and went back to CD version. 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.

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.

I'm using Windows Defender only. Also checked firewall apps to allow access to All my COD games no issue I see there. But come to think about it I never had any issues when using my old IPS free Charter security. Hmm. So what do you think is best, uninstall Punkbuster or delete folder. 

my specs are :

Windows 10 64fbit

intel 9900k 

Asus heroXI  mb

RTX 2080ti hydro

1tb m.2

32gb corsair ram
