I get a message that says "Failed to download map" every time i join a game with a custom map. Why is this? How do I fix this?

If it matters, I'm using Windows 7.

Sometimes you just have to walk away ....

I have not been able to download one custom map. The only time I can play online is when stock maps are being hosted.

it may be punkbuster issue. restrt punkbuster. make sure you are running as admin user also.

Heard from a dude in our clan about that too. You don't seem to be able to DL maps at all in Win7 for some reason.

i also have windows 7 and just the same happens for me

and youre also unable to upload maps....

any updates for this problem?? Fixes?? Patches??

I apologize but I still do not have an update regarding this issue.

Few of mine friends have troubles upload maps under Win7. Does someone else got same issue or know how to fix it ?

I am having the same issue, I have Windows 7 and the DVD Version of the game.

same here. win 7 and can´t dl custom maps. no in game dl, no direct dl from map server. please fix! btw, it is not a punkbuster issue.

Same here.. I have Windows 7 64bit and I can't download any map from the Host and even from Far Cry 2 map servers.. I get the info that "Far Cry 2 server with maps isn't responding"
Any chance to public any fix for Us?

Windows 7 isn't supported guys. Sorry

"Win 7 isn't supported" means "this game will die when enough people get win 7"... How about a patch?!? There are like a thousand other things that need fixing anyway, like fire crashing dedi servers for starters.

I remember back before we got a "crack" built into the game with 1.03 (when the copy protection suddenly went away) that there was a statement about how ubi was committed to letting us enjoy the game for all future or something like that. "For all future" means "until some other software forces us to install windows 7" apparently.

I find really funny, that its clear for all of us, but not for UBI. How the hell they can keep selling this game without make it works with new operating system which seems to be very popular, not only beacuse you can migrate from Vista to W7 for free...?!?!?
So come on UBI - say it openly, if you really want to kill this game very quickly or if you going to do what all creditable producer should find necessary to do...
And sorry Black_Widow9 - but that smilley you used irritate me a bit, you maybe better use smth like

This is wierd u guys are all using windows 7... But i am using Windows Xp service pack 3

Win7 + FarCry2 =
Shame

I too am having the Win 7 DL map issue.
I spent a week getting the dedicated server running and had to actually run it on a XP virtual machine because WIN 7 and FC2 Dedi is a no dice situation.
I will not be buying anymore Ubisoft products "EVER". There is no support, in every sense of the word.

Then, support it?

Hi All
Unfortunately Ubisoft and Dice go way back and they have a poor record of offering everything and cut and running after they publish a game.

In this case win7 obviously came out after fC2 they would take the easy road and say that win7 is not supported. Seemingly oblivious to the negative effect to the games future.

Ubisoft probably has no developers left on/from the FC2 project and would have a PR monkeys to cushion the blow that FC2 and win7 is not an option.
Ubi cannot complete against the might that is win7 marketing.

Ubisoft if you stick your head in the sand long enough your ARSE will get kicked eventually..

If you have no body left to develop a patch for this then release the source code to those that can rather than standing by and watching a very cool MP platform/scene go down the drain..
