Some maps push the limits of objects and Bgs, a map writer has no way of knowing if some one else will be able to run them, if a map has to many objects with different graphics in them then thats why you get mission too large, its just how your particular pc handles the graphics.

This must be a problem to do with reality, maps we run on our TR server work fine, you put them in the Reality server and some give a mission too large error, the servers gone down due to this problem a few times as well.
We need the map names so we know which ones to have a look at.

if you are playing in a server other that REALITY, ie ESC, IC, or TR and the go play in a REALITY server your game will crach with one of to errors "mission too large" or "This program has caused an access violation exception". i think this has something to do with the different player classes and different weapons.

I remember you posting that you got kicked when you joined this map a little while ago madman.
As so many are having problems with this map we will remove it from the rotation next time the server is reset.
Mission too large is a common problem after sys dumps, it is to do with how your computer interacts with the map, when you get this error it is usualy because the object limit on the map is getting close to the maximum allowance, as posted in this thread.
Some people will never have a problem joining off shore oilrigs while others will get the mission too large error, but as we like to try and keep everyone happy and this map obviously has problems we are more than happy to remove it.
Thanks for letting us know how things are going in the servers, player feedback is vital to keeping up the good quality we try and keep.
