after i made a custom map to play with my mate it appears it doesnt work online? loads fine if i play multiplayer local on the same pc, but over the internet it just freezes, tried copying the file to my mates pc into the user maps folder etc, still no luck, is this a known issue?
Cheers

Hi maafty, that sounds odd - sorry to hear you are having issues, can you please email support@team17.com and just let them know the issue you've had with as much detail as possible. I've just spoken with them and we've not experienced this ourselves so the more information you can pop in that email, the better.
Thank you.

cool, well at least that narrows it down to an issue with me or my mates PC, so its not a game bug, i'll sort it and if successful i'll post the fix in case anyone else comes into this issue.

you might have added some special property or not included all the worm placements entirely or something, do check that, i'd like to know what kind of landscape you actually did and if making it with all settings max'd out or not graphicly makes a difference as well.. When i made mine, i was using the farm theme, and i noticed the brightness/contrast was a little off with the dynamic water i had in there... weather or not that makes and difference what so ever i dont know

Hi,
i have the same problem with one map. The game freezes as soon as i load the map in multipayer. The only way to get out of it is for the host to close the game with alt+f4.
Other maps work fine, but this one does not. I uploaded it, so you can download and check for yourself.

i hope somebody figures out the problem, because it is very frustrating if you spend hours remoddeling the map and it still does not work.
thank you for you help and time, good luck on finding a solution.

This happened to me today, I made a rope racing map, very basic, no water, mines or objects. It's also probably worth adding that when you alt tab and close the game when this happens, the process keeps running and you can still hear people talking down their mics...
Testing in Local Play, it ran, but had not saved any of the worm spawn points, which had all disappeared if i open it in the editor again.

thats a bug with the editor, think it was already mentioned, the thing about worm placements not saving when you go to play it...

This appears to be a bug with the background terrain and the dynamic water. I performed a few tests and maps with dynamic water that don't have background terrain behind the water seem to freeze up when you try to play them online. Try adding a background behind the water and it should work fine.

if that is indeed the case, then no wonder mine always worked, reason I always add background to added dynamic water is because if you dont, the water looks really odd, the colours all off if you dont paint background behind it... makes the map look better as well

This is kind of related - I can't save physics objects to my maps. As soon as I save the map, they are gone - either when I load the map from the editor, in offline or online play, it just won't keep them. Anyone else having this issue?

yep its the same for everything, oil drums, mines, worm placements and objects, i think it has something to do with the way you load up a map when u start a game, the randomizations of ammounts of mines/ objects per map, are some how overwriting the custom map placements.. or something to that effect, the maps still work, just may not look exactly how you made with the other stuff you added...
