Hello, I want to join a server in which I was active. Ive gotten the failed to download the map server data. and the game crashed. Any fixes for the loading map chunks bug?
#map chunks
sacred mauve
It can usually fail if the internet isnt fast enough to download the map
Are you able to join other servers?
lofty oasis
yeah i can
sacred mauve
Just this specific server that you are unable to? Have you tried joining with a different username in that case?
lofty oasis
yeah its a specific
so the server has a vanilla and a heavily modded one
the vanila runs just fine
but the heavily modded one i cant load in
A different username didnt work

Not sure I can suggest much else other than the standard game reinstall tip. Whats your ping to the server?
lofty oasis
around 210 ish\
sacred mauve
That is quite high, generally the playable range is 0-150
Meaning that might be the cause of the issue, or at least worsen it
Do try reinstalling the game in that case
lofty oasis
alright

An update: I tried reinstalling, and still didnt worked
still stuck in downloading map chunks
not sure if firewall does anything
sacred mauve
An antivirus can sometimes do something, have any installed?
sacred mauve
That one generally causes no issues. You could try going to your User/Zomboid/Saves folder and delete the "Multiplayer" folder there. That should make you redownload the map when logging in
Meaning it can sometimes fix this specific problem, otherwise I cannot really suggest anything else

Hey man been having problems like that on a server I like. Usually happens when player count gets too high and it seems the amount of map data increases with player count (especially if a lot of people make safehouses and store loots on the floor). Making you time out before being able to download the first chunk. Only solution is to find a "local" server to play on. One where u only get 100 ping or less.

Generally the playable ping is 0-150, if you have higher than that then I cannot really help
