LAN TROUBLES PLEASE HELP!!!!
 

when we set up a lan connection it takes too long for the other computers to load the new maps. This happened all of a sudden. What could cause this and what can be done about it???? Please help!!!

Are you sure the maps are installed on the second machine. If not, they have to be downloaded each time you connect.

There is a utility out that extracts files that have been put into your cache directory and converts them back into usable files. I forget the name, but look for something along the lines of a UT Cache manager. Just direct it to your cache file (usually C:/unrealtournament/cache). You don't get the cache file until you actually download something during a game.

Its called UTCM165. Unreal Tournament Cache Mananger version 1.65. http://boards.ioerror.com/smile.gif Just downloded it myself and it work great. Really user friendly. I cant remember if I got it at www.fileplanet.com or www.fileleech.com. One of those. http://boards.ioerror.com/smile.gif

You must have the maps on each computer to play over a LAN. In my house we have a 5-way LAN and to use certain maps we have to copy them into the directory so we can play.

It's f***ing great when you play CTF Face with 4 humans and 4 bots per team !!! 12 players causing havoc and one redeemer killin'them all !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help...i was not able to find that file under either of the fild download centers. The problem is that we have one computer that downloads new maps and that puter is the server and when the other computers try and download the map is goes 1%............2%..............3%........and takes forever for all the other guys.

Hey Beta, if you give me your e-mail address or ICQ number I'll send it to you. http://boards.ioerror.com/smile.gif
