Where Are the Maps Located on Company of Heroes 2?

If you're looking for custom maps to play with in Company of Heroes 2, you might be wondering where they are located once you've downloaded them. Unfortunately, it's not always a straightforward process.

After posting about this issue on Reddit, I stumbled upon a solution that might help others who are facing the same problem. It seems that the maps don't automatically unpack into the correct folder in your Company of Heroes directory. Instead, they can be found in a rather unusual location within your Steam user data folder.

To locate the custom maps, you'll need to navigate to the following path: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\ugc`. Once you're there, search for files with the `.sga` extension, which is the file type used for mods, tuners, and maps.

If you're having trouble finding the right folder, you can also try extracting the downloaded zip files to see what's inside. Bak files, in particular, might be development files that aren't ready to be played.

Once you've extracted the files, you'll need to copy them into the correct location within your Company of Heroes directory. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Right-click on the Company of Heroes application icon and select 'Show Package Contents'.

2. Navigate to `/Contents/GameData/WW2/Data/Scenarios/MP/`. If any part of this path doesn't exist, create a new folder.

3. Download your custom maps into this MP folder.

4. Launch Company of Heroes 2 and start playing with your new maps!

It's worth noting that there are different ways to create custom maps for CoH, and the process might vary depending on the method used. If you're having trouble finding the right location or extracting your files, don't hesitate to reach out to the community or seek help from a more experienced player.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
