<<, there are still 3 or 4 machines out of 5 that will crap out, unable to find
a certain map (these are all identical machines with identical setups), and
they don't even crap out on the same maps…When maps are local, everything
runs fine, but only at the cost of an extreme pain in the ass.>>
Mathew,
Especially if you are making heavy use of maps, in a peer to peer network setup
having all machines access a single maps directory can quickly bring a network
to its knees.
However, there are several people on the forum who are using peer to peer
setups, and can tell you their experiences as to when a network starts to bog
down due to traffic. Hopefully they will chime in.
