Missing map maps

Hi everyone, after today's update tf2, I had a problem with loading custom maps from my server. I know that everything worked fine yesterday.

I test the bit and found that if the real size of the map (on game server) is more than 64MB, it is not downloaded from the fastdl server and I get an error. If the size of the map is less than 64MB, then everything is fine.

Someone else have such problems?

Yes any file which when uncompressed is more than 64mb won't get downloaded by clients due to today's update which enforces net_maxfilesize (max value is 64mb).

Valve needs to either set a higher limit or remove restrictions on bsp files.

what do u mean, net_maxfilesize was ignored til now?..

Yes, it only affects the server itself and the resources that on the fastdl server ignored.

But today things have changed ;(

it sounded like he said the server ignored it so far, ofc fastdl ignores it, thats why we have fastdl in the first place and OP said the map is not dlded from fastdl...

There's a bug where servers can trick clients into downloading multi-gigabyte files from fastdl servers. Valve's "fix" was to make clients obey net_maxfilesize even when downloading from FastDL, which has a hard upper limit of 64MB put a 64MB limit on all files downloaded even if they're downloaded from FastDL (this edit was based on new info posted to HLDS). Also note that this limit is based on the uncompressed size.

im sry, im dumb, you mean to tell me that now valve checks uncompressed size before we dl from fastdl and says 'nop'? or lets us dl from fastdl, client uncompresses and sees it's bigger than 64 and d/c? fastdl is useless now and/or we can't play maps that are normally >64mb?

Why some servers works fine without this F*cking limit and not us ?

I'm not exactly sure if it checks before it downloads it or while decompressing.
