I'm trying to play an older map, that crashes upon running. (nobody can join game either)
Trying to find out the most popular reasons for this to happen so i can fix it.
I set the name/description to all normal characters. Also set all units to default names. As far as i can tell, there is no stacked buildings or units.
Thanks.

If nobody can join your map, you probably have overlapping characters in your map title (or high latency).
First, check these things in your map:
1. High Index colors (Player color) like 145 and 255. Stick with colors 0-17
2. Maps with illegal dimensions
3. Units placed off the edge of the map (buildings)
4. Placing sprites off the edge of the map.
5. Many sprites crash the game.
6. Illegal units may crash the game such as an Independant Command Center.
7. 2x speed tends to crash the map.
8. Showing the portrait for a unit that does not exist. (including mission breifing)
9. Many units crash the game when disabled.
10. Placing a tile index that doesn't exist.
11. Having a building with 0 max HP. (Windows Only)
12. 0 build time for units. (And then building them)
If you still can't figure it out, post your map.
