My DP2 has a lot of issues: (when I came back after a year)
Note: All of this happen in one logon, when I quit, everything has reset to my oldest settings
Settings won't save
Name won't save (but you can save it)
Won't let me take a screenshot
Won't let me download maps (settings are checked)
Won't let me download anything
It does not bug me much, but I want someone to fix it for me ^^
I can consider reinstalling, if that's the only fix.
-
config set to read only?

Nope.
-
It might be installed to a read-only directory (ex: C:\Program Files\).
-
Turn off UAC, and enjoy (probably).

No! UAC exists for some reason, you should never disable it.

Name a single good reason and I'll listen :D

It prevents from editing many important files.

UAC prevents you from editing files. Disabling it does the opposite... Again, no reason not to disable.

Oh, scratch that "nope". The config file is not read-only, the whole DP2 folder is set to read-only. Haven't tested it yet, but I think it might work.
-
Can someone really help me with this one, I'm having some real trouble with taking screenshots and downloading maps.
-
Can you change the folder permissions then?
-

Yes
EDIT: I reinstalled DP2, disabled read-only, still happening. Settings reset everytime I restart the game. Recently-downloaded maps are gone too.
-
Have you tried running the game as admin? Does the game put the bsp files in the map folder when it's running or change the config file when closing? If yes, what deletes the maps afterwards? You may check that with ProcessMonitor by SysInternals.
-
What directory did you install it to?

Yes. It doesn't download.
What directory did you install it to?
C:// -> Games

I have a similar problem with downloading maps and even their textures. Paintball downloads as it should and then shows the bitrate ( B/s ) which goes down and the download stops (before the bitrate shows 0). This always happens after downloading one or two percent of a map / texture. Then I have to disconnect and reconnect (doesn't work with only reconnect) and it downloads the next one or two percents.
This happens under Linux Mint 17.1 64 bit and Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. As an alternative I've downloaded maps from the OTB ftp and have put them to the right folder, but that's very annoying for every new map or those that simply aren't on OTB.
On Windows I have Paintball in C:// -> Games as Fussion does, and on Linux in the personal folder.

Would an ingame map downloader help a bit?
I might write something to help you.
I hope jitspoe will fix this bug.

Hm and where are the textures? I still need to download or have them before I can play if the server has them. Also, as I said, this way is a little bit annoying.

A good idea. If it works (as good as the old downloader worked for me years ago) and if it makes you happy too ;) it would be great when you realize it.

I feel like setting cl_fast_download to 0 will help you if the old method worked fine for you.

That should get you all the texturse/sounds/models/etc. you need for most custom maps. I'm not sure why the downloads aren't working for you. Possibly bad Linux network drivers or something trying to throttle your network? I've had a lot of random issues with things like Filezilla having abysmal file transfer/disconnection rates to the point where I'll copy stuff to my windows machine to upload it.
This is the first I've heard of that particular issue.
