[Cookie]

Hi All,

Hi cookie,

You can start with following Drimp's advice. If it doesn't solve your issue, I'll paste here a post I made a couple of weeks ago, maybe this can help:

 

You can find all the downloadable maps for CoD4 here: https://www.xtremeidiots.com/files/category/2-maps/

Given that there's more than 1000 of them in the repository, you could use the list of maps currently online, which changes every week, as a reference. It can be found on this forum : https://www.xtremeidiots.com/forums/forum/233-call-of-duty-4-map-rotations/

 

That being said, I would tend to believe that it is faster to just let the maps download ingame than to browse through the maps repository to find the ones you need for this week's rotation. Sometimes downloads do get very slow (for a reason unknown to me), but these are non-recurring occurrences - I mean, it does actually get better when you try to download the map several times in a row. So if you're stuck on the downloading screen ingame, you can either close the game and try again like Shiny said above, or you can go in the console (which key does that depends on your keyboard, I think it's usually the '~' key on English keyboards?) and type /reconnect . This will, well, reconnect you to the server, and start the download again. Do that a few times in a row if needed, it has always worked for me.

have you been able to download any maps from our server at all or is this here and there a map wont download fast ???????

if its downloading slow just type /reconnect in console till it speeds up

I have an issue when d/l some maps will say an hour to forty minutes to download.  I shut down the game and restart and the download is back to normal, meaning it'll only take like a few seconds to d/l.  Is this something similar that I need to do as well as what is above?

Thanks,

try binding the cmd to disconnect and reconnect 

In the Console, type:
/bind F9 disconnect

and hit [ENTER]. With F9 being the key used and disconnect  this disconnects you from server

/bind F10 reconnect
and hit [ENTER]. With F10 being the key used and reconnect this lets you reconnect when you get stuck on a slow map download you might have to do it a few times

I set it up. F9 will disconnect and take me back to the screen to join a server.  However, the F10 doesn't automatically take it back to the same server.  Anyway, this saves me the ctrl alt del to close it out. Thanks

reconnect  attempts to connect to same server  maybe you have a typo or the key might be used by something else

Using:
/unbind insertkeyhere
will unbind any given key

Maybe I misunderstand your message, but you need to be on the server, or loading the server (eg when you're stuck downloading maps) to use /reconnect.  Not use /disconnect then /reconnect .

Thank and yea I get it.  I started a server. went to console and input the data. hit F9 and it disconnected. Completely closed COD4.  I hit F10 and nothing.  I'll be getting on in a bit and if the situation arises, I'll try the fix you told me about and see if it works then.  Thanks again brother.

Hi,

 

Yes this is the exactly the same issue I have. So restart is the only way to fix it?

I'll try this tonight. By the sounds of it, this issue is more common than not.

 

Thank you for all the advice guys!

I've tried all the above some time ago, the problem comes when you load a new map, easiest way is to come COMPLETELY out of cod4 each new map and then reconnect, once you've got that map it's fine but next new map off you go again, pain in the butt but it works every time.
