Don't know if it's a q4 problem or a q4max problem, but a lot of times servers crash when we callvote a change map..."no active map"(or something like...I have the error message in italia :))

What patch? In an older release, callvoting a map not on the server would crash it.

If you post the exact error message (I can look up the Italian string and get the English equivalent, so that's not a problem), I'll take a look - you should not be getting that from q4max.

Without knowing precisely which error you're getting, I'm gunna guess is that its a server config issue. Do you find the problem only occurs when voting to addon.conf maps - eg l4dm1_1, l4dm2_1, etc, but not swq4dm1 / tmp maps?

What does the server have in terms of autoexec.cfg + default.cfg config files? If you get a condump from the server, you may find an error sat on there which tells you whats really wrong.

Try setting the server timelimit to 1 minute. Join the server in windowed mode and let it cycle its entire rotation -- paying attention to what map it's on during each minute. That will help you figure out if it's crashing upon the load of a given map. :icon31:

Ah, okay, "callvote a change map" meaning callvoting nextmap, not to a specific map.

That'll be a typo / invalid map in the mapcycle (either scriptcfg or si_mapcycle. I believe that this issue is corrected in q4 1.4.

Post your config, and any mapcycle scripts that are on the server, maybe that'll show the problem.

I sent a mail to the admin...I hope to recive a quick response. Another strange thing for some players: q4 crashes if they join a server running stroggenomenom map...they cannot play that map.
