Patch 1.24b map loading errors in-game

Hail!

I don't know if this has come up before, but it's bugging the hell out of me. I just finished updating to TFT 1.24b, and now have a bit of a problem - about 80% of the maps in my map folder no longer display when I try to select them in-game (Single Player -> Custom Game). I can access and launch them via the WE... But not via the game. I was running 1.21 before patching, and had no such problems.

Help? Please?

EDIT: Basically, your maps probably use systems or code that used return bug which was viable before 1.24(b). To make them work for the recent patch, follow that tutorial, or remove/fix up any return bugs you have used in your maps (which the tutorial helps you do).

There's also a chance that they don't work because their names(the filename, not the actual map name) are too long. It happens to me a lot.

Hey, I'm talking about maps that have ZERO jass or anything like that. Hell, I made a damn test map with a Paladin and a start location, and it didn't show up in-game!

Filename or path too long. Move the map directly in the Maps folder (or /download) and/or shorten the filename.

Ah, thanks. I came across that particular suggestion last night sometime, still haven't had time to test it.

EDIT: it works. Thanks Kueken.
