Can't Log In To Private Map?

[MistWolf]

I'm having issues logging into a private, downloaded map. I keep getting the message that FeralHeart failed to the connect to the map server. But this is a private map, and I can get (surprisingly) onto the Fluorite map on another character just fine, but yet I can't get onto this private map. I really don't want to have to delete the character and remake him. Can someone give me a hand?

First off you do not have to delete your character or remake him Holly. If your character gets stuck on any map just use the forum character reset option. You can find it at the top right of the forum where your log in is.


As for your trouble entering the private map maybe try messing with your video settings through the game's main menu. Go to where it says "options" then press "video" and mess with these settings:
Rendering Subsystem switch between OpenGL or Direct3D9
Anti Aliasing to None
Water Reflection to off
View Distance to 0
Also make sure you placed the map files in the right places when you installed it:
Install downloaded maps like so:
Make sure you followed any "read me" files & place the files in the places where it says.
Most of the files should go into the "Exports" folder

Or more specifically she can try putting the files like so:

FHM files go into FH>Media>Terrains
FHO files go into FH>Media>Objects
FHS/FHW go into FH>Media>Sky
Music files go into FH>Media>Sounds/Music
Then restart the game

Hope something here helps.

I don't know how to fix it, you could attempt to re-download the map and replace the files.

Either way, you don't have to delete the character.
Log onto the forums using the yellow box and use character reset.


It'll direct you to logging in once again on a different, black screen and then you will have the character reset option. A big list of all your characters.

Thank you very much! I never even knew that was there. =)

I'm going to check later if I can get into that map.

I still can't get into the map, and I've tried re-downloading it several times. I'm really not sure what to do.

you could attempt to re-download the map and replace the files.

I know you already tried downloading the map several times but this time delete those files if you can and redownload it but next time try this order of placing the files:

Make sure you placed the map files in the right places when you installed it:
Install downloaded maps like so:

FHM files go into FH>Media>Terrains
FHO files go into FH>Media>Objects
FHS/FHW go into FH>Media>Sky
Music files go into FH>Media>Sounds/Music
Then restart the game

You could also try reaching the map maker and telling them that you're having trouble if it still does not work.

If that doesn't work than there might just be something wrong with that map. That happened to me for a while except when I first downloaded a map called The Darklore Territories I was able to get into the map with no problem for a few weeks and then suddenly I couldn't anymore and kept getting the "failed to the connect to the map server". A few months later I was able to get on it again and I never did any changes to the files. Maybe the server in general needs a fresh restart.
