Did you add these maps to your fastDL server? If they aren't when users connect they will get a missing map since they can't download it.

If it says missing map, theres a good chance you either have a sv_downloadurl set up and the map is missing from there, or your net_maxfilesize is set too low. By default net_maxfilesize is set to 16MB, which is way too low for most custom maps.

If you haven't yet set up a fastdl mirror, I HIGHLY recommend doing so. The web hosting here would be a good start($3 package). This will allow your players to get into the server faster by allowing them to download maps just about as fast as their ISP will let them.

If you don't want to set up a fastdl mirror you still need to make sure net_maxfilesize is set, the current max is 64, I do not know if setting it to 0 disabled the check.

If you need any help, pm me on here your steam community link and I will add you.

Good Luck!
