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
