Perhaps the server's disk is stuffed / too slow / overloaded (reading the map from hard disk etc).
Maybe try somewhere else, I wouldn't accept "its a bug in the server" as a reason (because it isnt). - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Chris Oryschak Sent: Monday, 15 February 2010 3:15 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change It varies, I'm running stock configs, with no sourcemod installed (renamed addons dir) and fastest I've gotten was 13seconds and longest is about 2mins. It's extremely noticeable when going from a good working server to mine. Even the 13seconds until you start to see the map loading on the client seems forever. The guy said he is going to do a defrag on the hard drive... highly doubt that will do anything but I'll wait and see.. and then probably price out a server somewhere else I'm thinking now. -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Cc2iscooL Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 9:42 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change That's kind of an unacceptable response with how much you pay for AoW servers. How long are the mapchanges?
