Subject: Whenever I try and go on a game with Custom Content, I get an error.

So there was once a penguin who was a jerk to me in a restaurant. So when the waiter came to be with the check, I told him to give it to the penguin. I said...

"Bill the Penguin."

It says that I was not unable to connect to the game.

Why not?

Tell me, inactive forum.

First of all I'm assuming you are referring to Halo: Custom Edition PC.
Secondly, If I'm not mistaken, I believe you mean to say: "It says that I was unable to connect to the game."

I believe you are getting this error because you do not have the specific custom map in your "maps" folder that is the same custom map being used by the server you are attempting to join. In other words, you need to have the same custom map that the server you want to join is using.

I did download Coldsnap (the map in question). Nut it just says
'Unable to connect to Game Server!'

JUST Servers with Custom Maps. Normal maps are fine.

Why would I have an Illegal Halo?
