Can somebody explain how this works to me?

When I join other custom map lobbies or host a custom map myself everybody in the lobby usually starts to download the custom map.

However, when choosing some custom maps (namely, the ones i made myself) nobody will start downloading them. I even let a buddy host one of my maps and nobody started downloading it.

So why do some maps get downloaded and others dont?

Have you published your custom maps to the steam workshop?

Yes of course, i published one a few months ago, one a few weeks ago and one a few days ago. They dont seem to work when i host them. However: A stranger hosted the oldest map and everybody started downloading it, when I did so it didnt work though :/

Is there anybody else with a similar problem? Or can you guys host any custom map you want without any trouble?

Aparently youre simply not allowed to host your own maps. Had a friend host a custom map made by me and people started downloading as long as I werent in the lobby. Quite odd

It seems weird, as out of the 3 maps i published in the workshop, they all have more subscribers than unique visitors. This seems to indicate that they are spreading through ingame downloads, i don't know for sure.

That and you can also subscribe to a map without visiting the map page, by just browsing the workshop and clicking on the subscribe button

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
