But my guess is that your in developer mode. To test maps in multiplayer you must make sure you are not in developer mode (developer 0)Him being in developer mode seems to be the case (at least it makes sense with the symptoms). Normally an error message shows up, but because of another bug fix the error message is being removed before it's displayed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Note that you can play multiplayer while in developer mode, just not network multiplayer. Local splitscreen will work and can even be launched using the testsplitscreen CCMD (2 optional args, # local players and a map to load, so "testsplitscreen 4 levels/mp/city-4.map" will start a 4 local-player game on that map).
All the devices are on a local area network and all have developer mode enabled. Can't wait to get home to test this out. Splitscreen sounds intresting. Off topic but I wounder if I can get a splitscreen game in a dedicated hosted match.
Wow I can't thank you guys enough. Progress will go so fast once I get home and solve this presumably by turning developer mode off. Thanks alot edward. And bp
