New Maps server recently keeps restarting and playing the same map

Looks like a number of new maps were added to the map queue recently. Since then, the New Maps server crashes while playing Operation Forager, especially while taking a flag. The message is the standard "Warning - Connection Problem Detected" message that we all know is often displayed for problems having nothing to do with the connection. This copy of Operation Forager is not original and appears to be modded slightly. Perhaps there is a bug? What do you all think?

Thanks,
Fred Bob

Re: New Maps server recently keeps restarting and playing the same map

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:
0) Join the New Maps server.
1) Pick Allied team and accept the default kit.
2) Go to the East Gate and enter the building closest to the flag and stand in the corner closest to the flag.
3) Wait for the flag to change.  ==> The "WARNING: Connection Problem Detected" appears and the map crashes.
4) Rejoin the New Maps server. ==> Unfortunately, the same map reloads, even if a new map was selected.
5) Repeat steps 1-3. ==> Same behavior is repeated.

Update: Today (7 May 2025), the New Maps server is offline. Can we at least restart it and put it back online?

Update 2: Thanks to whoever got the New Maps server back online.  However, the crashing issue with the Operation Forager map is STILL happening. Cheers!

Update 3: I repeated the crash playing for the Axis team while taking the West Gate flag also.

Silly Bug #1: I learned the Island flag displays as a German flag instead of a Japanese flag when captured by the Axis team.

Silly Bug #2: The Island flag radius is TINY, while the West Gate flag radius is HUGE.

Request: Please remove Operation Forager from the map rotation until the crash and the other bugs are cleaned up.

Hello? Anybody home?

Once again:  Please remove Operation Forager from the New Maps map rotation until the crash bug is fixed AND tested.

Thanks,

The server will be restarted ASAP.
Lets hope that map will be fixed so this won't be happening.

Hi Fred Bob, New maps server was restarted without Operation Forager map in rotation. Thanks a lot for your tempestive input. Please report if anything strange happens, we'll try to react faster.

Re: New Maps server recently keeps restarting and playing the same map

@Paul Baumer and @Xberg, the New Maps server is now behaving itself once again. Thank you for your help in bringing sanity back to the server operations!
