I know this probably doesnt go into this forum but I havent posted in quite some time so I know the good ppl of this community will come through for me. For some strange reason I cant create(Host) a game in multiplayer mode it just crashes back to my desktop. This sucks because it also dampers my ability to download new maps and test them out without having to open them up with the VPP builder. I can always reload RF if necessary as long as I save everything I have been working on up to this point. Any ideas without a re-install? Also is anyone making cd's or dvd's of all the maps that are on here? Id have to have to dl all these maps myself lol.

As Sophie said, look for and delete and file in your RF that is sized 0kb. This usually fixes the problem.
However, I had this same thing happen to me where there weren't any 0kb files. The problem was a corrupted file in one of my multi-maps. I only fixed it by moving files out of my multi folder until the error stopped.
ok thanks RED i'll keep trying and if all else fails I'll just reinstall. thanks for all the help

It has happen to me where somebody made a file using a .vpp builder because they couldn't create it the other way because they were getting errors. If I remember correctly, the problem was that some objects(weapons) were out of the level. When we tried to start the server using that level it would crash back to the desktop. But like there rest of the kind people that posted previously. It's usually a Zero Bit .vpp file, maybe you just didn't find it. Did you check your C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single Folder as well?
radviper_rf so did it work. Are you just going to leave us up in the air about it. Mononucleosis you Tech Spammer. OOPS I see you moved up to Scientist Spammer.
