Support How do I Pre-Load a Map?

[mrmaxguthrie 1]

I downloaded a firefight to multiplayer map (glacier), so i can forge and do custom games on it. I tried to preload (loaded the Glacier map in firefight, and started the game, then exited and loaded it in custom games and pressed start game) and my xbox froze. What am i doing wrong? If i dont pre-load it i get a Players Failed to Load Content message... Please help

I had this problem once, DeadCanadian helped me solve it. Your going to have to pre-load the map everytime you want to do this, I don't think there is a way around it, but maybe im wrong.

Usually just hop into a firefight lobby for a sec then goto customs or forge and start the map.

Ususally just hop into a firefight lobby for a sec then goto customs or forge and start the map.

It sounds like he gets that part, but when he goes to start up the map in mp/forge it crashes.

 

Unfortunately I haven't heard of it crashing at that point in reach unless there was an error with the map itself.

No need to bump, this thread isn't going anywhere.

I just checked and the patch loads for me, I also tried with that mainmenu and it was still good.

 

Is the issue only with this map? other conversions? any modded map? If it happens to all of them then there is an issue with your setup like a dashlaunch setting or something or your xex.

Have you tried the forge lobby as well? When I created those, I tested mainly through forge. It's been a while since I touched those, but if I recall correctly, only Read and Blue teams could actually spawn on the map due to the pre-placed object settings. Still being on one of those teams in general may have been a problem too.

 

Another thing to note is that you don't have to actually start the firefight game to get campaign.map pre-loaded, you just need to step into the firefight or campaign lobby so that it starts to load a map that uses campaign assets.

 

Like Zedd asked, have you tried any other of those patches?

yeah i tried other ones, and in forge too, and still the same thing happens. I also tried the final mission in custom games by GameCheat I believe and the same thing still happens 

 

EDIT: and i was on the red and blue teams always, and does it matter if i go in the game? Like is it a necessity for me not to?

 

SECOND EDIT: I loaded up Glacier in Forge, "Players failed to load content", hopped over to firefight, loaded Glacier, waited for the load to get to 100%, didn't start it, hopped back into the forge lobby, Glacier started to load to 100% in forge, loaded to 100% in forge, I started the game in forge, and still, frozen xbox...
