OpenRA custom maps disappear after update
Newbie here. Love the C&C map editor, however, after last update (Release 20200503) custom maps from previous version are gone and can't find them. How do I locate the original custom map file and transfer it to the updated version? Thank you for your assistance!
Re: OpenRA custom maps disappear after update
If you go up a level from where the old maps are, it should have all the versions you have currently installed on your machine. You may need to start a game or make the folder yourself on install (Im unsure what triggers the folders creation).
You just need to drop the map into that folder.
If you are completely unsure of where this is:

eg. my current version maps are kept at \My Documents\OpenRA\maps\ra\release-20200503 since Im on windows and have older installsThe support directory is where the game keeps the saved settings, maps, replays, logs and mod assets. The default location is as follows, but one can choose to move it to an arbitrary location by passing an Engine.SupportDir argument to the Game.exe
Windows: \Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\OpenRA\
macOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/
GNU/Linux: ~/.config/openra
Older releases (before playtest-20190825) used different locations, which newer versions may continue to use in some circumstances:
Windows: \Users\<Username>\My Documents\OpenRA\
GNU/Linux: /home/<username>/.openra/
