Hi. I have some weirdo problem with my recent released map called 'awp_india_2015" .
Apparently, the problem is the .wad file wich can't be downloaded from the server because it will crash the game. If i have the .wad downloaded mannualy, the game won't crash because there is no need to download wad file.. but if i don't have it manually, it will download the file a few seconds and make some empty folder in cstrike called 'name.wad' , and the game crashes.
Does anyone know why appear this problem right now? I've searched about empty wad name folders.. and i found only discutions about engine updates.. but that isn't helpful.
- again, sorry for poor english.
PS: I'm steam on.

d@rc@, it seems you found the original HL bug reports of this problem at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/160 and https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/234 It's sad that the problem has re-appeared. To be honest I don't think Valve care that much about fixing it. The best advice is to make your players aware of the problem and have them delete the empty folders.

I believe the main reason the empty folders are created is when the client fails to download a map from a fastdl server and then tries to download the map directly from the CS server.
