Drop the maps in the Maps folder under Common/RedOrchestra/Maps

If there are custom textures or meshes, drop them under Textures and StaticMesh folders.

You mean the folders that don't exist, or the ones I can't find? :confused:

Could you be a little more specific on the path please? There is no folder named "common" or "maps" anywhere in the steam/red Orchestra program files. I also searched my computer for all folders named common. Found plenty of them, but none had anything to do with RO.

There should be, did you load RO lately? Steam will do an update that moves your RO files into that common folder.....

There is a Redorchestracommon.gfc file in SteamApps, but no common folder. I loaded up RO to the main menu and exited, came back to check. No folder. I even tried creating the directory myself and adding the maps, but they didn't work.

Wint you have not downloaded the latest patch somehow for steam. Delete your clientregistry.blob file and restart steam.

I did this, and it did not download any updates. I checked my version, and I have version 1007. I also checked the steamoptions for my RO game and it was already set to auto-update. Could my anti-virus programs be causing some sort of problem?

The last steam update several days ago changed RO's install location to steam/steamapps/common/RedOrchestra. You might want to create a steam support ticket if this update did not do this for you.


If you used the beta file system before it went live in the last update, try deleing your redorchestra.ncf files that are now in steam/steamapps, this will cause RO to revalidate.
