Select and download your custom map for RA3 (visit our downloads section, select a map and choose the Download option to the right of each map) When the download is complete, you should find the compressed file in your own downloads directory [UserName] ->Downloads. Extract the map folder from the .zip file to the following path: C: -> Users -> [UserName] -> AppData -> Roaming -> Red Alert 3 -> Maps When you run the game - the newly downloaded map should show up in your map list, in the in-game selection area.

Hi again,
Also you say "...the newly downloaded map should show up in your map list, in the in-game selection area" Just exactly WHERE is that in RA3? Is it the Skirmish area?
Thanks JQ

Well. Begin by double left-clicking on the little picture of a Monitor screen that should be on your desktop, labelled "Computer" This should open up a screen showing all the drives your system has. Double left-click on the drive that is labelled C: (or Local Disk C:) You should then see a list of folders. Again use double left-click, this time on the Users Folder. That will open up another screen showing a list of folders for all the users who have login accounts on your computer. Using the above method, continue until you arrive at the folder you are looking for. |

Hi Major, Yeah I've done that several times but I NEVER see the "Roaming OR Maps" folder. There is a C:\\RA3 folder that the game loaded into which has the following folders; Data, Game Spy, Launcher, Patches, Support, Trailers. I also can see a "RA3 Saved" games folder??

Then that suggests that the folders are hidden. When you click on the Computer Icon on your desktop - the window that opens to show you your C: drive, has a menu bar across the top [File Edit View Tools Help] Choose the Tools option, then the Folder Options option. You will see 3 tabs at the top of the next sceen: General, View and Search. Click on the view tab. Under the entry for Hidden Files and Folders, make sure that Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives is checked:  Click Apply/OK then try looking for those folders once more.  |
