I've already setup a fastdl for it and the server is downloading files to client successfully. The problem is that most players who join don't know about the console command and they think they crashed on black screen.

I'm asking if there's a way to download files to client in game (bypassing the black screen). System2 works but it downloads to the server's directory instead. I've also tried SendFile natives but it uses the game's severely limited net channel, thus it is extremely slow.
