4.16 dedicated servers - can't load large maps

Development Programming & Scripting
1

FYI TheJamsh’s answer in the comments to my post was the ideal work around for me - I suggest this feature be fixed if its causing this much trouble

2

I run a few different maps for my servers, the only map I can load right now is my big map (but has a ton of sub maps that don’t load until later in the start up process) - my “small map” has all the content in it with no sub maps

fails on startup, even my big map takes 2-3 attempts to bring up - this is new since updating to 4.16.0 (currently running latest 4.16.2 branch as of last night)

You can turn off the event-driven loader in the meantime. It’s still fairly experimental I think.
