I think if the server is running a workshop map the client does not have, they should either be automatically subscribed or the map should be stored in a temporary cache, not the default directory for workshop maps.
Alternatively, the maps folder could contain some sort of version number in the path, but that could get out of hand real quick. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Travis Sent: 2/24/2013 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] workshop map updates - client doesn't download I don't think you need to ask the user to update. If its a map in the workshop directory they would have had to be subscribed if they didn't get it via the server. In which case it would auto update. In general it would be nice if the client auto updated workshop folders if they differ from the servers with some sort of checksum verification. Hoping to see Ido chime in.

When the workshop system first came out, all ten of my servers were constantly full because of all the great opportunities to find different servers that the workshop system present. Now, they're constantly empty because every time anybody tries to join they get that error. Now that map makers are beginning to update their maps and push out these updates, you're starting to see issues on any community servers that aren't running stock maps.
