How playint maps in coop as axis

[mercury26]

Hello, I want to know what to do or adjust to play all the coop maps as axis.
When I launch a game in a local coop server, I am not able to change from US to axis.
I found no way to spawn as axis.
Please help.

Hi,

1) Select a map from co-op and load it

2) Then, you should be able to change sides ingame from this panel here:


If you could find the country and attempt to switch sides, the only possible reason you couldn't switch was that "auto balance" was turned on from menu options.

I hope that helps, please let us know!


Best regards,

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
It was that "auto-balance" which was turned on.
It works fine now.

By the way, I notice that when the 2nd map from my local server is running for 5 minutes, I have a CTD. I haven't this when playing on allied side.
I noticed this on each local coop game I have played yesterday.

Hi, regarding the CTD, what maps did you have this issue?

Perhaps just by coincidence you selected the "play at your own risk" maps. As can be seen here:

Changes in 2.5
Complete lists of "good" and "play at your own risk" singleplayer maps, as of 2.52

The list of "good" maps
These are the maps with up-to-date (as in multiplayer) equipment, more or less balanced gameplay and pathfinding, mostly bug-free, and having the latest code "sweeteners".

The following maps have one or more of these issues: outdated/broken gameplay and equipment, bad AI pathfinding, no code "sweeteners":
