Map not working because wrong name?

Sun Sep 16, 2018 7:45 pm

I downloaded this map Eastern_USA_and_Canada_1015_9160. I cannot get the .dct file unless I add this to my meta:

F4 63 A1 FF D8 43 C2 4F 67 E0 10 56 F6 75 F3 1D Eastern_USA_and_Canada-101721.meta ; Eastern_USA_and_Canada 1015_9160.

The original one is: F4 63 A1 FF D8 43 C2 4F 67 E0 10 56 F6 75 F3 1D Eastern_US_and_Canada-101721.meta ; Eastern_US_and_Canada 1015_9160

The problem is I have to add an "A" to US to get it to create a .dct file but then when I do that and patch the map it wont boot past the boot screen on my xxl classic and just hangs there forever.

Is there anything I can try to get this map working? Is this the right meta for this map? I have already tried fresh installs of 9.510 and 9.540.2

Thanks for the help everyone just not sure what the big difference is with the one letter missing

These are 2 totally different maps that require 2 totally different meta codes; BUT, we don't have the meta for the USA map, only the US version and that's the one you need to use

Download the exact map that matches the meta code and you'll have no more problems

You'll find the map here:

Thanks, I didn't want to think there was a major difference and overlooked seeing them both.

I almost thought things were about to get better. However, I now remember that I did download the US version as I knew it had the meta. No matter what version of the 1015 9160 for eastern us and canada or eastern usa and canada it will just link you to the USA one

Just wanted to thank everyone who pitched in with useful remarks as it got me to quickly resolve the situation of the US version link I followed being the USA version. I sent Popeye a PM and he sent me the links to the proper version. Thanks!
