custom maps are placed here ~ C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Maps

Problem solved. In my C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance folder, the Maps folder didn't even exist... I had to create one from scratch, stuff the maps in and everything fell into order... is it me or is steam's FA full of problems?

Anyways, thanks for the help!!

Absolutely love what you guys are doing!

I'm having the exact same problem... I am on steam's FA though.

After downloading the map pack from the vault, I extracted it to here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\maps

I do have the SupComDataPath.lua in both the bin and the FAFbin folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\binFAF
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\supreme commander forged alliance\bin

Anything I can try?

edit: btw, I have been noticing, In the custom game lobby, games I can't join have "unknown' map sizes and number of max players, thought it might help identifying the issue...

All custom made maps are meant to go in the following location.
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Maps

Because it can contain something that make it buggy.

Listen either you answer or I add a feature in the lobby that send it automatically to the server so I can stop begging when I'm asking for debug informations.

FA lobby check that folder for maps. If it can't reach that directory, it lead to the same problem you have.

So the problem is surely in that path. So either you give it or stop complaining.

Don't worry, knowing your user name won't make me or anyone able to hack your computer in any way.

And if it's your family name or something personal, send it in PM, I promise I won't give it to anyone, and really, I don't care of what your name is.

As I said, it's because your custom map path is incorrect.

It's your game map path. Custom maps are not supposed to be there but in your user folder. What is your user map path ?

And it works on GPG because it doesn't really check if you have the map of not.

i can play custom maps... but i cant join them.

if i join a game (with an official map) and the map gets changed to a custom map, i have no problems to play.
