Crashing BG42 maps

I just watched the TPU BF1942 server crash and restart several times on the BG42 Battle of Britain map. I restarted the server at the top of the BG42 map list and removed Battle of Britain from the BG42 rotation. I'm not sure what's going on there, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Also, if there are any other BG42 maps that are causing problems, please let me know in the comments here or by email. Thanks!

UPDATE 2011Mar14: The BG42 map 4411-towards_budapest is apparently causing the server to crash repeatedly, so I have removed it from the BG42 map rotation.

Ryda: I removed Uman Pocket from the BG42 rotation. The Battle of Britain map has not been modified from the stock BG42 package. As for your modded BG42 Midway map, perhaps I'm not packing the files correctly. Should the base path be "battlegroup42\levels\midway" or "bf1942\levels\midway"? I put your ControlPointTemplates.con, ObjectSpawns.con and ObjectSpawnTemplates.con into SinglePlayer and coop.con into GameTypes and the parent folder - are those all the changes I needed to make?

im sure u putting it in the right place, battlegroup42\levels\midway. when me and mojo run a server with it plays, everyone was able to join, we had the largest navy battle i ever seen going on. im just wondering why it wont work on ur side.
if nothing was done to the britain map it should be fine, map files dont slowly degrade away do they?? u think if u had a fresh copy of britain it would fix it?
i can meet up with yeah on xfire and send both files in full, try that out.
oh yeah i have no clue whats up with uman pocket, never looked at it, but i do know me and mitch couldnt log in when it was playing

For the BG42 Britain map, I don't know what's going on but if people want to see it fixed I can spend some time on it. I recently reinstalled BG42 on the server so I don't think there's anything wrong with the map.

For your BG42 Midway map, the most likely explanation is that I don't have some of the changes you made to CON files, or I got the WinRFA BASE PATH wrong (I used "battlegroup42\levels\midway"). There are two ways to fix this: you can compare your modded files to the stock BG42 Midway files, then repack it and let me know for sure what folder you used for base path; or you can send the packed RFA to me on XFire.

It was the basepath. It has to be "bf1942\levels\midway". The map is now live on TPU.
