Oh people crash a lot faster than that. Generally people start crashing as we get into B. This can take a few minutes the first time, but on rejoining I see people will crash almost immediately as we're still on B.

I released V6 with some major optimizations to the map overall. I am hoping the updates will stop crashing on lower end computers, but as usual if people are still crashing please let me know and I'll continue tweaking the level.

I adjusted B also to lessen Red sniper sightlines from the upper catwalks. The main central catwalk doesn't have a view of all 3 entrances anymore, so snipers will have to move around more instead of just standing in that one spot. If it's still feeling unbalanced I can keep tweaking to add more cover to a few spots.

Hey, we just got finished with several rounds of v6.

First: crashing: seems to be much reduced. We had two people I saw have problems, one stopped having problems after rejoining, the other did not rejoin.

Secondily, B: the reduced sniper sightlines on B was a big improvement. Red's high ground advantage is still very difficult to assail though. Also, on the Red side going to A, a lot of people are hesitant to jump down and therefore get lost at the start of the map. Maybe add some more obvious directions and more than one path for red to jump down on?

Hello, love the map so far, very interesting map design and fun to play.
I wanted to report that I noticed a small hole in the floor displacements near the cart origin, and should be visible from blu side.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the report! I'll fix it soon and try to do a few other tweaks for V7 over the next few days.
