I don't have a solution, but the map I built did exactly the same thing. Whenever teams are set, it messes up the map. in experimenting I got different combinations when testing 2v1v1v1v1 or 4v2v1v1 I even got the right display once 1v1v1v1v1 but it still crashed. It is apparently (another) bug in t...

Thanks for the ideas. I got it to work.
