That's not a bug, that's a cheat... be careful when downloading maps from strangers.
I know, there's no official Cursed Ravine - Bonus map, but that's also because the Bonus script isn't meant for that map, and while it can be made usable in any map it still can't be balanced around all of them*.
Cursed Ravine is a map where very powerful defences can be set up... Snipers are already more powerful than they are meant to be (due to a problem with OnUnitAttacked, which makes it proc while arrows are still mid-air), but imagining them on that map... even the mere thought of it hurts.
*Actually it can, theoretically, but it would either be extremely difficult and the loading process would pretty much become eternal or it would be a very time-consuming process, and both possibilities would likely be too prone to errors for it to be worth it.

Hey guys,
I have two computers. On each I have a copy of KAM Remake. On my first computer I've been playing the game for a long time now, including the multiplayer games with the whole community.
However, on my second computer the singleplayer works normally, like it was supposed to, but I am having difficulties with the multiplayer mode. When I'm in the main menu (main screen) and try to press the "Multiplayer mode" button, the game freezes all over! Then I have to kill it with the task manager. And no matter how many times I restart my computer, or uninstall and reinstall the game the problem doesn't seem to go away. It just reoccurs everytime.
Has anyone ever encountered a similar issue and how did you solve it? Is there a solution to it? I really don't know what to do.
Hope you guys can help me out.

Could be firewall blocking the connection to the kam remake servers

Shouldn't that trigger some sort of error message instead of a crash?

Yeah I forgot to mention, that beside all other things, I also made sure to have added the exception to the firewall, both Windows and user-installed antivirus/firewall.
And yes, like

said, it shouldn't crash, it should pop-up some kind of message....right? :/

It's interesting that it crashes/freezes without an error message, that implies it's something unusual since most crashes are caught and handled by our crash reporter. It could be related to a number of things, since a lot of stuff happens when you first enter the multiplayer menu:
- The server list and announcements are downloaded via HTTP
- A UDP broadcast is sent to your LAN searching for local KaM Remake servers
- A shared mutex object is locked to prevent you running multiple copies in multiplayer simultaneously (to prevent cheating by loading saves of a multiplayer game you are playing)
I'd guess it's related to one of those. You could try an older version of KaM Remake (e.g. r5503) to see if it still crashes there. That version doesn't scan for local servers so it would rule out one possibility.

Exactly, I wish it would at least pop-up a message so I would know exactly the problem that has occured.
Now the problem is, I'm not so sure I understand all the things you have listed or its implications nor how to detect or fix them:
1) ...via HTTP - so it could be something wrong with my internet connection/modem?
2) UDP broadcast -> no idea what this is and how to fix it?
3) mutex object -> no idea, but I have a feeling that I cannot run the game on both computers in multiplayer simultaneously?
Do you have any suggestions as how to fix the problems? I'll try the older version in the meantime and report back. Many thanks!

Some firewalls behave nicer than others :-P

Mutex sound extremely unrealistic.
That is a local object, so running it on two systems shouldn't be an issue.
I am sure of this as I did run three vm's with a test compilation of KMR to test change's stability and none crashed. O.o

[Wine barrels] production is not shown in graphic statistics (global production section in the after-match).
It should appear between [gold chests] and [corn].

@Krom: In multiplayer games. The 4th tab that is about "Global Production" which compares the resources of all players.
Even if someone makes wine barrels, the icon of wine barrels doesn't show up.
You can verify this by setting a multiplayer game with AI's, make some wine barrels yourself, then finish game to see statistics (last tab).
