Freezes when map vote comes up

[Squygx]

Hey, been having a problem with a version of map vote. I believe its the latest version.

I play a map, the map ends and just as the mapvote screen is about to pop up, my screen "freezes", then after a little while I get a connection failed message, I'm kicked off the server and then the mapvote screen pops up, I've looked around on the map vote screen but cant see any version numbers so not sure, but I believe its the latest one.

I run Win 98SE, connect through Zone Alarm, using PII 266. Asus Riva TNT 2 video card, 384MB RAM. I've tried deleting map vote and taking the push from the server twice to no avail. Other servers with other map votes work.

I currently have three mods/mutators running, but two of them also run on the two servers I have the problems with, the other one I run is the CTF enhanced by Dr. Sin. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it, as I dont spend my time in the public servers I only play on these two mostly.

Sorry if this has been dealt with already, if so could someone be so kind as to direct me to the thread containing the info. I did a quick cursory glance but all the threads say "having a problem"

Oops almost forgot to mention. The one time admin was in and the map vote didnt come up I could "trash talk" at the end of the map.

Here are a few things to try:
1. try disabling ZoneAlarm to see if that helps
2. If you are running Anti-Virus software try disabling the
active scanning or auto-detect option.
3. Look at your UnrealTournament.Log file after this happens.
If you dont see any obvious errors send it to me.

Thanks for the quick response, I <CTRL> <ALT> <DEL>'d down to systray and explorer, and same problem.

I looked at that log file, but *yikes* mines 1700 pages long!!

Not sure what I'm looking for. I never actually use the map vote to vote on so is there a way to totally disable it? I did find a setting in my unrealtournement.ini (?) that had some options, I changed one to false in an attempt to disable it, but it still pops up after the 15sec timeout error.

once again thankx for all your help. I really appreciate it.

/edit
found something is this what ya need?

Sorry for the lack of patience. BDB is this helpful to you at all?

thankx

You can not disable map vote on a the client side if you are connecting to a server that is running mapvote.

I really do not know what your problem is, but it is probably something wrong on the server.
What server are you connecting to ?

Maybe I can try connecting to this server and see if it does the
same for me ?

BDB, thankx again.

I know of no one else that has a problem connecting to that server as all of our clan dudes hit it regularly.

Over on the Unreal Tournament forum, someone mentioned CTF/e as not running with the DBD. I think this might be the problem, I have it installed. I am going over to the CTF/e forum to ask Dr. Sin if there is any problems with his stuff and your map vote.

If you want I will let you know how I do

thankx
