This simple guide will walk you through installing the custom maps that we have available on our Website.

-> Firstly download the .zip file from the site
-> Unzip or extract the files
-> Place the folder containing the map files in your RA3 custom map directory
- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Red Alert 3\Maps
- Vista: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Red Alert 3\Maps

Load up the game and you're away. Easy as that!

Um, how do you install the maps on Windows 7? I know the new one is a pain, soz.

It should be the same as the Vista setup, I'd assume.

Sorry, but it isn't. I even searched for the file and get nothing...it would be easier to revert back to XP i guess. But i just want to play on those RA3 maps...thanks by the way!

Odd, I can find that folder on my Windows 7 partition. You know AppData is a hidden folder, yes?

I've typed it in, but i get the readme files that talk about the AppData folder. nothing else. man this is such a pain! On the otherside, I have another question, but where is the thread for the first decade? i just bought it and tried to play it on my computer, however C&C1 and RA1 both have that weird colour problem, not to mention the others dont work. weird...thanks again
