Set an Open Fortress startup map and recover from a missing map

Default Map takes the internal name of an installed map, such as dm_2fort. The startup map is separate from any rotation file or map-voting plugin.

Make the change

  1. Check the map file under the game’s open_fortress/maps directory.
  2. Back up your configuration and record the working Default Map.
  3. Stop the server and set the new map name without .bsp.
  4. Start and inspect Console for missing files or map-load failures.
  5. Join a test match; if it fails, return to the previous stock map before adding more custom content.

Check the result

Do not copy TF2 map names into the field simply because Open Fortress uses the Source engine. Confirm that the specific map and its required assets are installed for Open Fortress.
