installing campaigns

[BlitzCanuck]

I've downloaded a number of user made campaigns from the repository and i've confirmed that they have been extracted to the proper folder. they show up in the list of campaigns in windows explorer but they're not listed when i start the game.

Any ideas?

If they are not showing up in game likely they are not compatible with the game you installed them for. I would check the version numbers for the campaigns to ensure they are compatible with the latest version of the game and to make sure they are for the correct game. For example a campaign designed for the Pacific Theater release will not be compatible with the Weapons and Warfare release and so on.

Alternatively if you are on Vista or Windows 7 take a look at this link as it might have to do with Compatibility Files:

In this case you will have to click on the Compatibility Files button and then place the campaigns inside this virtual folder inside the applicable 'Campaigns' folder.

Let me know if you get it working and I hope this helps,

You're right. I was trying to open a PDE campaign in WaW.

All sorted now.

Cheers.
