No vote with listen server?

[Grasshopper]

I have run a dedicated sever a couple times. The map vote showed up in the menu between map loads. I was trying a listen server and didn't see the map vote option. Only works on dedicated?

Nope, it works on my listen server as well.

Show me your UTGame.UTGame and other relevant sections.
As well as your command to start the listen server.

I just start it from the game menu, not the console. Here is the ini. file. Map vote is set to true. Vote just doesn't show up.

Well, first of all, depending on the gametype you play there is a section created in the ini.

[UTGame.UTDeathmatch] for DM
[UTGameContent.UTOnslaughtGame_Content] for Warfare

and so on

In these sections you can set the gametype specific options, including the bAllowMapVoting option. This one will override the setting in [UTGame.UTGame].
So make sure it's set to true there as well.

Also make sure bChangeLevels=True at the top of the ini.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I saw another post this morning where someone lost the mapvote after installing the patch. Maybe that's the cause for the ini change.

[Grasshopper]

Tried adding the lines that were suggested. No luck. It's unbelievable that so much has to be done in the ini. files instead of the menu. Maybe the next patch will fix more problems.

already found any solution? as i've got the same problem with mapvote ... :-(

Hello,

I'm having the same problem with a quirk:

I play LAN games between an XP PC and Vista laptop. I used to be only able to host on the laptop but since upgrading XP to SP3 I can now host on the PC aswell. However, I never get the map vote option if hosting on the PC. I always get it if hosting on the laptop.

I changed all the "bAllowMapVoting" occurences to "True" in both ini files but still no luck.

If anybody has any idea how to fix this Iwould be most grateful.

Thank you!

Any ideas floating around out there on the auld interweb?
