This goes the same way when extracting a map pack DO NOT lump all of the maps in the pack inside one folder and putting it inside the Maps folder like that-the game will not read the files since the maps would technically be two folders deep. 'C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/Red Alert 3/Maps/zone_control_v1.4/' with the map.xml, overrides.xml, etc and all of those other files for the map being inside the zone_control_v1.4 folder. The directory should be set up so that the map is placed like this: This is a very sensitive step: you need to make sure that the files are ONE folder deep inside the Maps directory.įor example, I have the map 'zone_control_v1.4'.

Now, here is where the magic happens: if you've downloaded and extracted a map already, all you need to do is paste in the folder that contains all of the files related to the map itself (map.xml, overrides.xml, etc).

If the Maps folder doesn't exist for you, then create the folder yourself. Inside the Red Alert 3 folder, you should see a handful of folders already there there should be a Maps folder-go into that folder. This will take you to the Roaming directory on your PC. To install a map, in your File Explorer, type in %appdata% at the top of the page where it shows your current directory. You can get maps from places like CNCLabs, ModDB, here on Steam from peeps like MaD_Animal, and a plethora of other places.
