Report problems here. (UPDATED)
Found a problem I have somehow missed?

Minor known problems:
-When trying to enter the 'think small' secret you must press jump to get in it while shrunk
-Vents may be tricky, make sure you duck jump into them
-To end the level you need to press use/open on the steering wheel in dukes car*.
(* not really a problem just for those who somehow get stuck)

Megaton related:
-Everything is about five times brighter than it should be
-There is no fog (eduke feature)
-Default music only
-See below

Megaton has problems with many maps even the vanilla ones as it is a unfinished port, the developers have moved on and left it in a buggy state, you may get crashes when using monitors or saving and loading (I have not experienced this myself)

I strongly recommend you play in the EDuke port instead as it is a near flawless port and everyone who had the above problems did not seen to have them in Eduke, you will also get much smoother framerates, no mouse lag and a experience more closer to the original dos version.

Under downloads click the big windows button, all you need to play is the duke.grp from the megaton folder (place with eduke32.exe)and to add this map and others go to the workshop (ws) folder and copy the .map/.ogg and any other files (again with eduke32.exe) from each and load the game and choose user level.

Thanks.

I've also experienced the issue with crashes while trying to save - I think that saving in a new slot (as opposed to overwriting) helps a little, but I'd say it still crashes 90% of the times I try to save.

I'd play it through without saves as others have but this map is a little tough for me so far!

That's interesting, must be a megaton problem so theres not much I can do for you, it's ok to play on medium theres just about 25% less monsters.

I'll have a go with duke32, and I'll be sure to let you know what I think. I've really enjoyed what I've played so far -- good job!

Its much better in eduke you get better lighting and the new music I included, lets just hope megaton gets updated to be more like eduke.

I seem to be crashing when I use this monitor and walk away from it. No idea why http://i.imgur.com/D3fdsQM.jpg

Megaton problem I guess, no one else has reported that, very strange.

Would like to mention this is really the only map I've downloaded that crashes when you try to save and it crashes a lot. Also in the garage with the mail truck, there is a vent you're supposed to enter to get to a secret area. No matter how I jumped it was impossible to get into the vent. it has a small ledge that should make it practically simple and of course I broke open the vent, but no angle, no hight would allow me to enter, only no clip would let me in.

All those are Megaton related problems, play it in eduke instead it plays flawless there, since the megaton devs have abandoned this version I don't see much we can do.

Got the same issue with the monitors crashing, maybe the mirror aspect you made is not very well supported by megaton.

Some crash saves too.

Nice map beside that, could have been in the original game or Duke it Out in DC for example. :)
