WAD problems

[HSEW]

Problem: whenever i try to do a multiplayer stage from a downloaded pack the game exits.
I start the game with the launcher.
Solutions??

You're not giving enough details to provide an answer to that question. What exactly are you doing? Be as specific as possible.

Yes, there could be many ways the program would exit. Sigsegv error, MD5-check error, missing WAD error, or in extreme cases, the program closing without an error, or even freezing.

Be specific! What were you doing at the time the program exited?

all the files are not missing, i get them in the launcher in order (if there is one) all the wad files are archived too.
1. access the SRB2 file
2. click the launcher
3. add the files (stage then sprites)
4. click go
5. the game loads
6. go to multiplayer
7. load the stage
8. the game exits
i do not sort out the wads and/or put them into files
oh, and i dont see any sign of an error...

 

[HSEW]

oh, but sometimes it says
signal_handler(): segment violation

There might be a problem with the WADs themselves. Can you give a link?

i got them off the SRB2 addons section.
All the sprites, stages, and multiplayer packs.

You shouldn't join a game with external files. You can only join a game with no WADs, and if the host added any WAD files, SRB2 will automatically add them if you have them.

Also, if you're joining through the search menu, it's generally suggested not to use the launcher. It has, erm, a few bugs I need to work out in that area.
