Problem with dl of a map

[Arctic]

For some reason whenever the css server goes to de_trading I can't dl it and I get a de_trading map is missing error. I tried dling the map from some site and placing it in my map folder, but no dice. Any suggestions?

Hmmmm, have you downloaded any other map we have successfully?

 

[Arctic]

all the others work straight out from steam when the server changes map. They all download fine except de_trading

One of the tech guys will look into it. I've heard that from other people, too; they dl and put in the folder and still doesn't work or says different version.

You probably have a bad copy in your files or a different version than TD (had the same problem with de_contra a while back until I figures out the problem). Go to Steam>SteamApps>(User Name)>Counter-Strike Source>CStrike>Maps and delete the bad copy of de_trading you have there. The next time you play that map you should get a fresh download that works.

If this doesn't work, you can take a more drastic approach and empty your saved map folder. Just make sure to back up the folder. When you reconnect, it will take a while, but your client should download the map. Make sure after you have downloaded the custom you need that you manually swap your good custom maps back to the folder.
Let us know what solves the issue. Good Luck
