Map Not Showing? Common Problems & Fixes
The most frequent Workshop issues and how to solve them in under a minute.
Steam says 'too many requests'
Use Quick View (magnifying glass icon) to subscribe instead of opening the full map page.
Map not in lobby after subscribing
Restart Steam and the game. Make sure the download finished in Steam's download manager.
Friends can't join my custom map
Make sure everyone is on the same game version. v1.1.0+ requires matching versions for multiplayer.
Custom map lighting looks wrong
v1.1.0 disabled the default skylight on Workshop maps. The creator may need to add their own lighting.
