Cashworks Server (Important)

[SixSicSix]

The Cashworks server has been empty for a long time and I think I know why. The map, whatever it is, takes FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to download. After downloaded, it takes FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to get in the server.

I remember hearing about someone saying they downloaded the map from FPSB and when they tried to join Cashworks they got booted for a nonmatching map. I think the server's map is corrupt.

Thought someone should know

Its always worked fine for me. The only non-normal part of Cashworks that I've noticed is that it takes a bit more graphics power to run it.

Doesn't it seem a bit strange it's not full when all the other servers are?

 

[Dragonhill]

my 2 cents are

attackers bail out if they fail to "roll" the defenders in the first 2 minutes.
also, map NEEDS 32 players, anything less is hard with the long respawn times

We use an older version of Cashworks for stability issues. That is why they have non-matching issues.

That server is our historic custom maps server, and its never done extremely well. We have Warpath and Blackmesa as our stronghold custom maps, but we've been having trouble finding other, balanced, custom maps that will keep the server full.

I really like Cashworks, but I think Dragonhill is right in his comment about it.

 

[SixSicSix]

Well than what would explain the horrible wait time to get in game? That's also a bit strange...

It loads just fine for me, but I believe it is a fairly detailed map, so it is likely that your computer/internet connection is slow enough that the extra data is must download and load is very noticeable.

The map just really isn't balanced enough. It's like, at some points of the map it's way in RED's favor, and then other parts RED has no chance. Same for BLU. It needs alot of work imo. It is a fun map though.

8mb down, .5mb up

debunked :|

it HAS to be the server

If the map takes too long download, you can download the map manually which is -much more- faster. You can grab the map from FPS banana, search cashworks under TF2.

 

[SixSicSix]

It's not the downloading. It's when I connect to the server. It's slow. Really slow. 400 seconds slow.

I can get in pretty quick after I downloaded it.

 

[yuziirvine]

me too, no problem of getting in after downloaded it.
