Self-created Map doesn't work in MP

Hey everyone,

my problem is the following:

I created a multiplayer map with WorldBuilder (2 vs 2). I also managed to play it with a fellow player. But since the new EF-Update, every time we want to play the map again, the one who wants to join fails to do so. It only works in SP-mode.
We made sure that we both have the same version of the map-file and even checked it with md5.

What could be the reason for that "inconvenience"?

Thanks a lot!

No idea?

Apparently not. Could you upload your map, so someone (e.g. me) can take a look at it. Are you able to play other maps together to exclude that you have a different COH/EF version?

I have a further idea.. May it be that someone of you is lacking files of the other one? Are there some .tgas or the .info or. scar missing for someone?

.tga files do not conflict the online compatiblity of a map.
Which messages appears if you try to join the game from your buddy?

I don't remember exactly, but it said I didn't have the hosted map. Should I upload the map?

You can upload the map if you want.

Two things that may have caused the crash, which I fixed:

MP maps don't support and also don't need infantry and vehicle entry points, I deleted them. Then, I brought the territory sectors to life, now every point has a territory.

Nope, does not work.

When we tried the map in CoH (without EF), the map did not even appear in the map list  ???

hi everyone,
i tried to play some maps with boffel, but as he told you already, we failed to play them. the weird thing is that i created 2 versions of my map. the first one can be played in standard CoH. we've tried that already. the second version only received minor changes to the landscape geometry, nothing else. here the one who's trying to join gets kicked out for not having the same version of the map. we double and triple checked the files on both of our HDDs, also with MD5 / SAH1 checksums, but we could not find any differences.
eastern front, however, fails to load any of those. here the joining player gets kicked with either v1 and v2 of my map.
boffel's map is behaving similarly. we were able to play it at the beginning (i THINK) even with EF enabled. after a few minor changes and fixes the joining player gets kicked yet again.

what is going on there?? we appreciate any hints. and maxiking6, the removal of those spawn points did not do anything. not even standard CoH wants it.
