[Solved] Max sv_downloadurl file size?

Wilczek · **Author**

Is there any maximum file size for fastdownlad server? I'm trying to send to clients rather large CSGO map (154.159 KB without compression, 73.568 KB after transforming into .bz2) and it always hangs at 14 percent. Then downloading resets and after reaching 14% progress again, client is disconnected with "missing map" message. Another .bz2 file with 65.941 KB works fine, so I guess the size is a problem.

Try add yourself CLIENT SIDE launch parameter -maxdownloadfilesizemb 500

That thread only applies to maps > 150MB, he's claiming his files are in KB but that could always be a typo he made 3 times

...maybe, and another possible thing could be, he had compressed *.bz2 files wrong and get corrpted files.

Map sizes are 154 and 73 MB. After setting -maxdownloadfilesizemb 500 everything works fine. But that's dumb, how am I gonna tell my clients that they have to use this parameter... Ehh, Valve.

Nevermind, thank you guys for help.

Not all countries use . as a decimal mark.

You're right, that could be misleading

Still, I don't understand why I can't set it up. Fastdownload server looks fine - I can download the .bz2 file, manually unpack it with bzip and it works ingame. But if I try do the same in CSGO, downloading restarts. The file in .bz2 is 74 MB, so it shouldn't be a problem :/

150 MB is the max size of a map without bz2. It doesn't if your map is under 150 in bz2.

That's what I also thought, but somehow it doesn't work this way. I'm perfectly sure map is being downloaded from fastdownload server (in the console I can see a link to a 74 MB .bz2 file), but whole process restart when reaching 14% of progress. Smaller files - 66 MB - work fine.

The 14% is just a graphical bug, you've actually downloaded the whole map. It's the unpacking stage where the engine goes "Hang on a minute, this is bigger than 150MB inside this zip, so you can go and get ****ed" and disconnects you with a missing map error.

Trust us, we've been dealing with this for weeks.
