Assumptions and Limitations

Before diving in, it's essential to note that these instructions are specific to the base game version of COH and do not apply to mods. Mods often create separate folder structures and locations for maps, which can make finding and installing custom content more complex than what we'll cover here.

Locating Map Folders

-------------------

1. First, launch Company of Heroes 2.

2. Once in the main menu, navigate through these directories:

- For Steam version: `C:\Program Files\SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/companyofheroes2`

or (if you've installed it elsewhere):

`C:/Users/'YourUsername'/Documents/Saved Games/Company of Heroes 2/Maps`

- For non-Steam versions, the location may vary. Consult your game's documentation for specific instructions.

3. Within these folders, look for a subfolder named 'maps' or something similar (the exact name might differ depending on your version).

Placing Custom Maps

---------------

1. Once you've located the correct map folder(s), simply copy and paste (or drag-and-drop) your custom maps into this directory.

Tips & Variations

--------------

- If you're still having trouble finding the right location, try checking within these additional folders:

- `Company of Heroes 2/Maps`

- `AppData/Roaming/Ivy Games/Company of Heroes 2/Saved Game//maps`

-------

By following these simple steps and taking a bit of time to explore your game's directory structure, you should be able to locate the map folders for Company of Heroes 2 and install custom maps without any issues. Happy gaming!
