To fix your install simple delete the new 'maps' and 'games' folders and put the ones moved at the start back where they used to be.

There are some permutations on this test which would be useful to try. Remember to run through the full procedure on each test. It is especially important to remove 'cache'.

Try a different game. Download ba-V7.78.sdz from http://packages.springrts.com/builds/ instead of zk-v1.2.1.0.sdz.

Try a different map. Run the test with a very large map (such as http://zero-k.info/Maps/Detail/7385 ) or a very small map (such as http://zero-k.info/Maps/Detail/28633 ). If the small map loads very quickly but the large map takes a long time then it indicates that pathing is at fault.
