Hi all
We all know the wonderful support we have for win7 users!!

but.....last night when playing multiplayer(some sniper server) it moved to the new scene after match and guess what, win7 actually started to download the map!!, but after about 60% dl it gave me the now familiar error. This made me wonder if we, the win7 users, can’t create a dedicated server with maps(player made and official)and everybody know which player made maps are been used by the server. I’m sure if everybody on the "win7 server" has the same maps then there would be no problems. I know there are thousands of multiplayer maps, but I’m sure that the person running the dedicated server can let us know which maps to download!

Any ideas?

ok......

I see this was a crap idea.

Mod please lock this threat

Yes, but you showed you are nice guy
Btw - the only good idea is make that bloody simple patch for Win7.
Yesterday we talked about whats FarCry2 missing, compared to other games. It was really huge number of things whose should be there and its unbeliveable that they arent there (like for example "spectator" for other player first person view, etc, etc.), and we also talked about what FC2 got. There was no doubt, that editor and map autodownloading is on of the few things, which keep this game alive.
Well, and then - with Win7 you cant download maps.... WTF ?!?
Isnt that "funny" ?

UBI have many servers so why they won't give one to win7 users?

I'm sure they know how change "map community" for Win7 users but now thinks all it's ok but isn't.

if new patch won't come my history with FC2 will be end.

This is good game but to many bugs.Admin panel is not easy for new admins.

I sometimes think why I bought FC2 .

Go to the map community and download the maps whose name begins "wgc." Then you can always play on all three of the Waikiki Gun Club servers, at least. We only run a few maps that don't begin "wgc."

Sorry but now I'm user Windows 7 I can't download custom maps in FC2.WGC supported windows 7? I don't think so.

Oh, sorry. On my Win7 system I am still able to manually download maps from the Map Community, no problem. I guess your deal is different.

Thanks for that mate! I'll check it out!

I have another pc, and I'm burning to use it as a Win7 dedicated server, but my connection is a bit unreliable at moment (HSDPA) with our sub-tropical weather patterns
You said: "Oh, sorry. On my Win7 system I am still able to manually download maps from the Map Community, no problem. I guess your deal is different."
Is that between multiplayer games? I must say, mine started to download a map (ONLY ONCE!!), but stopped at about 60%

@Pacient.cz, I could not agree more with you!

I don’t know if this is farfetched, but what about multi-player coops over the whole FC2 map? Player Teams start on different positions etc, Airport (on south end of map) and other team at Fort(on northern end of map)and must start to take over guard positions or something like that!

But yeah, a simple patch will just be dandy!!

Wish I knew a good modder, that can crack the fc2 code and create a patch!!!

Btw thanks for all the replies!!

See ya in the field

I have never tried auto-dl'ing maps on my win7 rig because I pre-download all the wgc_ maps, manually from the MC.

Excuse my ignorance, but where do I get these wgc_maps?

BTW, Win7 downloaded one map last night, but only one!!! I wonder if it is a punkbuster issue as I installed MOHA again and had to remove the old punkbuster!

WHY is there always issues with the big names?(EA, UBI, Activision, Codemasters etc!!!)

ps thanks for all the help

There is a link to all the maps we run on the Waikiki Gun Club servers here:
