Map version conflict issue. Help Needed Map, when on a server, always appearing as different from the servers version, even when downloaded from the same server.

I've been working on a map project lately and have been having a problems with one of my latest revisions of it. Basically, since I started making this particular map I've been uploading each version onto a dedicated server I have access to for community testing. On one of my more recent versions, I uploaded it to the server and then tried to join and got a "this map differs from the one on the server" error. At first I thought it might be a server issue, so I reuploaded it, that didn't work, so I recompiled the map under a different name, still nothing. I also tried deleting my original copy (though I still have the VMF of course) and downloaded the map from the server itself, even doing this I got the same error. I tried this same thing on another dedicated server and got the same results. All of the older versions of the map work fine. The weirdest part is that if you run a LAN Listen Server (the create server option in game) the map works fine. I'm trying to figure out what could have caused the issue as I didn't change a whole lot in the current not working version from the older working one. Could adding a soundscape cause this issue? I copied the soundscape entity off of another map (it has the 2fort basement computer sounds on it). Would this cause the problem and if so, how do I fix it? If anyone has some insight on this it would be much appreciated, thanks. cbale2000

You better delete the map in the game to download the one you get when you join the server
Al Pacino is the man!

Posted by Smooth Dawg You better delete the map in the game to download the one you get when you join the server I did, and thats what I'm saying, it still gives me the error, even people who connect to the server that have never had the map get the error after downloading it from the server. Heck I even compared the files, they are EXACTLY the same (I copied the one from my PC directly to the server).

If you have fastdownloads on the server you will continue to get this error until you upload the map to the webserver as well. Clients download blank file as they will not download from the game server,

Posted by Lost If you have fastdownloads on the server you will continue to get this error until you upload the map to the webserver as well. Clients download blank file as they will not download from the game server, I'm not sure I understand, the server settings have not changed and this is the only version of my map (or any other map) that has EVER had this problem, plus it occurs even when you have the correct map already. I even tried the map on my own server (the default Dedicated Server through steam with all the default settings running on the same PC) and it still didn't work even though I copied the map directly out of my TF2 folder into the dedicated server folder. EDIT Well thats odd, I did a bit of optimizing and took the filesize down a MB (was 10.4mb) and now it works again. Very strange, how come other larger maps don't seem to have this problem?
