Workshop Problems Overall
1. There are currently 900+ maps uploaded to the workshop, but many of those are duplicates and some have names like "$180....No Range". Where is the simple quality control of preventing duplicates (example maps having the same name)? Good maps are being drowned out because of this.
2. The lack of instructions to the workshop
For example:
a) How to upload maps (we had to figure that out ourselves)
b) Can we upload mods like in CoH 2 (example: Spearhead mod)
c) How can we update our workshop content (a friend of mine never figured that out)
3. Frame rate spikes for some reason when using Workshop via main menu
No. it is not my computer, I run steady 30 FPS on vanilla. I think it frame rate stutters and lags because of loading of maps...but even after loading the maps it's still lags like all hell

Thank you for posting this, I couldn't agree more. There isn't any QC as far as I can tell, and too many people just randomly pressing the "publish" button without checking to see if it isn't already published. Moreover, these same folks don't put any quality to their manic button pressing. If you're going to repeat a map, at least, make a jolly effort to have fun, be helpful, and creative with it. The Workshop is swiftly gumming up with gunk. :-)

well, i created a map back in 2010 i guess, and i would like to share it...
but i have no clue how to upload it into workshop... seems extremely difficult to me.
its a .sga already and it works fine, but i cannot find this "publish" button whatsoever to put it on the workshop in the first place...
if u guys can tell me how, i would like to upload my map, maybe you like it

by the way: KE4Dy, this post is really on point, thx for that

@CRN
you have to go to the in game workshop
then (supposedly you have put your map in my documents>my games>CoH Relaunch>ww2>scenarios>MP) you will go to manage tab in the workshop area and click on your map then click publish button
If you want to edit your post like add pics (don't know how to update the map itself), go to your name>content>workshop then find your item
then there ya go

sounds pretty simple...
but i dont have a publish button.
my 5 buttons down on that manage-tab from left to right are : "subscribe" , "delete" , "play" , "show in workshop" , "show workshop agreement"

and i guess this last "show workshop-agreement" is crucial cause i have to agree with the terms of steam workshop to publish.

the thing is i already did that and i can only accept again there, and if i do nothing happens or changes... maybe i will figure it out
KE4Dy 10 Jun, 2017 @ 5:09am 
even managing your downloaded subscriptions don't show so maybe it's broken....the first time it released it was fine (you had the option to publish I mean)
EDIT:
So you have to wait for the maps select in skirmish to show the "Gear" logo (denoting it is a workshop map) to see stuff in the Workshop via main menu....Weird thing there is the non-workshop map I put says "Unsubscribed" not "Unpublished". Furthermore, some subscribed maps showed "Unsubscribed" sometimes "Unpublished".
Also the location was changed (by default) my documents>my games>CoH Relaunch>ww2>scenarios>subscriptions (yes it will work there too I tried putting a non-workshop map there)
It is so broken (plus unusual frame rate spikes probably due to loading the maps but even after loading still stutters for a few secs)

ok, i managed to realize i have no clue of anything going on...
my personal custom map "saint credille" is and was in the my documents>...>subcriptions location all the time.
but to put it very simple ---> i cant publish, i see my map in the manage tab and i can play my map and everything but i can not publish it.
maybe because i have the german language version of the game (sounds stupid, but who knows)
Maybe someday i will figure out what's going on, or anyone else wit the same prob solves the prob and i read it by chance ;D

EDIT:
the workshop just seems bugged to me
i can agree the steam terms of whatever but nothing is happening so...

did your subscribed maps in the skirmish map selection show the gear symbol?
CRN 10 Jun, 2017 @ 6:44am 
yes, they do

CRN es funktoniert bei mir auch mit der deutschen version

und zwar wie folgt:

Du startest das Spiel ganz normal. Im Hauptmenu gibt es nun den neuen Button "Workshop". Da drückst du drauf. Du bist nun innerhalb der Spieloberfläche im Workshop und nicht auf der Steamoberfläche.

Dort gibt es die Reiter "Start" "Durchsuchen" und "Verwalten". Du drückst auf verwalten. Dort werden all deine installierten Maps angezeigt. Jede Map dort in der Liste hat einen Status. z.B. Unveröffentlicht. Du klickst einfach die Map an, die du in den Workshop haben willst und drückst auf den Button "Veröffentlichen". Fertig.

Viel geschrieben, aber eigentlich ganz einfach.

@Peter Pervers
I used translate.google.com to understand you so bear with me
For us it does not appear that way. As I said before, I put some maps that were not in the workshop at that time and it said "Unsubscribed" rather than "Unpublished" which disables the "Publish" button
CRN 11 Jun, 2017 @ 11:23pm 
@Peter Perverse
er hat recht, der button "veröffentlichen" existiert nicht für uns, es scheint verbugged zu sein...

but i have a new idea why my workshop isnt working properly:
i never had the intetion of "moneytarizing"(dont know if that's an english word) my work so steam does not have my adress and bank-info whatsoever...
maybe thats why workshop doesn't let me publish anything... for now this is the best explanation i find except it's bugged...
KE4Dy 12 Jun, 2017 @ 7:25am 
unlike CoH 2 I do not think there is monetization in the workshop (yet)
even CoH 2 maps are just added as community spotlight maps which are 100% free....it is the skins and commanders which are monetized
CRN 12 Jun, 2017 @ 8:30am 
yep, it was just a thought, the workshop just works if i properly give the data... like address and bank info etc... but i don't know really, i just run out of possibilities.
Finally i guess it's just bugged as f*** ;)

i have duplicates do you know how to get rid of them? some one told me the names would be the same in the doc folder but all names are numbers and different.
