You can't play on your MULTIPLAYER map immediately | Forums

So, everyine new about one of the craziest error "Redhorn".
There is one more feature that will drive you crazy.
Having created a multiplayer map, you can not immediately play it in it.
For some reason, the lobby selects a random map, and the chance that it will be your map is minimal.
Maybe I'm wrong. In that case, tell me how to start playing it on my card on PC right away?

That's crazy. How could that even happen?

You have to be lucky but random Arcade selector will choose randomly a new map and players who can vote have only most recent by default.

If you want to play it directly without any waiting, just launch a private lobby.

But if you don't have 5 friends available, there is no way to test your map out. Testing in the editor is not quite the same, as you can't see what the graphics and effects will really look like. My map came out yesterday, and I haven't been able to play it at all (it has now disappeared from all selections). Very disappointing after all the time I put into it. There should at least be an option to launch a multiplayer map within the real game in single player mode (even better, maybe 11 enemies tossed in as "bots").

This is the reason im only making sp maps. making multiplayer maps in fc5 is a waste of time and energy with the current hosting system. my advice to mappers is give up on making mp maps, it's a dead end. im enjoying making sp maps, im over the mp maps thing.

Totally agree, but with this "redhotn" erroe i want to throw my PC in the wall

Ok AW so you decided to make SP maps.

But the MP part (which you actually stated you would be making a ton of MP maps for) is screwed. Maybe contribute towards changing the MP Arcade Mode instead of copping out?

Where online can we find some other mp map-makers that wish to join up say once or twice a week in a private server and we all just play each others maps all night.
I'm on pc and would just like to at least try my map out once lol. Would be great to have say 10 to 20 people in my friend list that want to play their maps as I do. And we try and have a night or two during the week to having some fun.

That would be great indeed, but I doubt we can find so many people on same platform/timezone to do that.

Yeah thats a real problem... we need a option for that. Also we need a better Feedback system. I have uploaded my first deathmatch Map (Siera's Farm) and have after 70x played 1 Star. Thats okey, but i want to know what i should change... I have never played my own map... because i need first to play several rounds...

Feedback need a option to post a short answer why ppl give you x Stars.
