Suggestion for Map Transfer System for custom maps

[ShadowyMoon]

I agree with kostiak. Almost all RTS games handle map transfers that way and it is very efficent most of the time.

Sometimes though, the connections are less efficient because of peoples bad connections.

Thats why "waiting room" is good - if only one player has connection problems the host can kick him after some time instead of automaticly retrying to download 5 times..

Yeah but at times you get another player with a bad connection that comes in and makes more of a problem. I think you should be able to choose the speed at which you want the game to go so things would run better.

I like the download while the game loads because they get done at the same time. I think a waiting room at times is a waste.

the purpose of the waiting room is like a gaming lobby.. but the game loads while you can chat and stuff.. if it downloads in load screen if one fails all get time outs..

On bfme a special screen appeared for trasnferring maps. If one failed, most of the time, all failed.

thats my point exactly - with the "waiting room" if one fails he is simply kicked by the host and not all of the players disconnected.
