Need help!

Alright, I have had this problem since, I dunno when. I have turned to many place and I have found no explanation. Here's the problem:

(Game host's point of view)
The game starts, and it takes you to the loading screen. The loading bar goes through all it's stuff. No one else's ID turns green (signaling a finished loading) near the end theres a small freeze for about 10-15 seconds. Then it finishes loading. The game starts fine. But wait, all the players are gone. it looks like they have left.

(Joining Player's Point of view)
The game starts, and it takes you to the loading screen. The loading bar goes through all it's stuff. No one else's ID turns green (signaling a finished loading) near the end theres a small freeze for about 10-15 seconds. Then it finishes loading. At the end , however, the game doesn't start. In fact, it immediateley goes to the score screen. No defeat message, no victory message, no map PERIOD. Just the score screen. Click ok and its done.

What's going on here? Something's wrong. i recently e-mailed the people at Tides of Blood because ion their starting message it says: Fixed server split issue. I thought this may be a server split. They said it wasn't. Please help me!!! whats going on?

Ogre, email the map to me at [email protected] and let me look at it for you. It may be later tonight until I have time to look at it though.

:D

This happened to alot of maps prior to TFT release or somewhere near there. Dota was one of its victims. I figured out how to fix it but i can't seem to think it up. Maybe if i come up with it later - I'll post back immediately.

Are you using the latest patch and TFT. If not, you need to get TFT still so you can play with me on bnet, Ogre!!11

Get Local Player - if used in a game for fancy game text messages like leaving, entering, leaderboards, causes it.

Draco, i'll e-mail it to you... although I did that already and never got a reply...

Yes, I have TFT and patch 1.12, though it was made Pre-TFT.


Ak47_Type_R, please try and think!

Ill check for GetLocalPlayer's, though I dunno if there is one in there. I do NOT have any specialized editor, by the way, just the normal world edit.
