Welcome to the forums! I don't think your bad English will be a problem though...
Well... If you have lag, it must be because you have a bad internet connection. Try raising the speed of your internet.
Also, I think that's messing with your ability to... wait, do you have trouble LOADING or DOWNLOADING maps?

Isn't that funny how I'm the only person here so far who has an avatar?

when theres a new map, u need to load it, but i guess i mean DOWNLOAD

If it's downloading, it shows a progress bar. When It's loading, it doesn't.

excrement

LOL excrement strikes again!

maybe download a map pack from the forums ? there are few right ? so then u dont have to download them

That might work.

put tinfoil around your modem\router it goes faster worked for me.

I prefer peanut butter. :) Or were you being serious?

Ic3 i download ur files, i opend it on winRAR and i got the list of the maps, now what should i do?

Paste them into:
C:\Games\Paintball2\pball\maps
That's the default folder for when you install Paintball2. It may be different for you, but it will be in \pball\maps.

LOL @ the peanut butter Mitchell.  But anyway, Serve, does the game list your connection speed while downloading (i assume its downloading because there is no % status when a pre-downloaded map loads) the games?  Like is it "x mb/s" or "x kb/s"?  If its kb/s it would mean its connection, but if the speed is good it would be the game itself is freezing, right (someone with a little more knowledge than i)?  As for the lagging i got the same problem so cant help ya there.  And thanks for the map pack link ic3.

When you fire the game up and it tells you you cant log you on, make sure your username is correct.  Then backspace your password out of the box and re-enter it.

Post by: Serve on April 04, 2010, 06:23:50 PM
i did that, steel dont  work -.-

Post by: LittleAce94 on April 04, 2010, 06:28:22 PM
Can you log on with the same user/pass on the DPlogin section of the website?
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: Serve on April 04, 2010, 06:29:49 PM
yep
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: LittleAce94 on April 04, 2010, 06:35:12 PM
It shoooould work then.  Re-create your profile in the game, make sure both usernames match, and enter the password without the auto-signin/remember pass.

Are you using any colors on your name? If so try to make your name all white. But why would a map not load because of your name?..
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: LittleAce94 on April 04, 2010, 07:03:07 PM
No, juicey, this dont have anything to do with the map problem.  This is a... separate issue.
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: JUICEY on April 04, 2010, 07:11:03 PM
OKKKK but either way I still gave him an idea. Most people get kicked off the server because they aren't logged in correctly, or too much colors on the name, and that's probably his problem.
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: Serve on April 05, 2010, 11:24:38 AM
but i dont get kicked, its just wont load the freaking mapppp
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: Serve on April 05, 2010, 11:27:02 AM
BTW, i can get into maps that i load before this problem.
i cant get only into the new maps...

If you haven't already tried, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. 8 times out of 10 this fixes most errors that occur.
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: Serve on April 06, 2010, 08:11:20 AM
i already tried that.
gues im hopeless..
any one can help me T.T?
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: LittleAce94 on April 06, 2010, 08:23:35 AM
Make a list of all your problems again...


And fixes:

Anyone else got anything?
Title: Re: 2 problems
Post by: Kyuuchi on April 06, 2010, 12:31:14 PM
Try using an older version for now:

ftp://otb-server.de/pub/Game/Alte%20Versionen/paintball2_build028_update_pretest1.exe

See if that fixes anything.

Well lag is generated based on how close you are to the server and how close you are to your internet connection. If you're playing on your own server and your internet connection is 100%, then that should have a ping of... 17 I think?
But if you have something like 25% internet connection and the server you are playing on is the opposite of where you live on the Earth, then that ping's going to be pretty high.
The higher the ping, the higher the lag, so try playing on a server that has a low ping.
