Map does not load - Game hangs
« on: May 10, 2026, 03:33:13 PM »
Loads splash screen and I can see the arenas.  Go to join the MA and the game hangs.  Can get into the DA.   It is like there is no file to load, no filename is displayed.  Using Steam version.  Attempting to do this Sunday 10th May @ 15:30 pm Texas time.

Looks like it’s trying to download a map.
Trying going to “ Choose Terrain” and download “Badlands” map, which is running right now. Then try MA again

It looks like it may be looking for a map. The map in play is "Badlands" you might try loading it manually first. Sign-in and click "choose terrain", then scroll to badlands map and if it is not dowloaded, click down load. Restart the game and try it again.

Thanks mate.  I went and did real world stuff and have come back to try this.  It says the terrain is downloaded and it does let me in the arena now.

There are a heap that are not downloaded, I hought they were small files that would load on demand. 

Thanks again

Best be, download all of them. Download speed is questionable. Nothing wirse than waiting on a slow DL when waiting to get in.

Yeah I started to do that then lost the will to live after a couple of them failed.  Will keep at it.

Rubicon there are several other players that have issues downloading the maps and some that have issues downloading any New map. I can send you a copy of the current maps in rotation, if you like. All I need is your email, send me a PM, and I'll try to get them to you ASAP.  :salute
