Find answers to common questions about downloading maps, submitting your creations, and more.
Maps go through a review process before being published. Common reasons for delays include broken download links, missing screenshots, blank or non-unique descriptions, or submission errors. Our moderators review maps gradually, so please be patient.
Your map may still be in the review queue, failed to submit properly, or was declined. Not all maps are accepted—we look for quality content with proper descriptions and working downloads. If you believe your map should have been approved, please contact us.
Yes! You can submit updates to your existing maps. Go to your account dashboard, find the map you want to update, and submit the new version with updated files and changelog.
You need to meet three requirements: verify your email address, have at least 2 published maps, and reach level 10. Once all three are met, you'll be promoted automatically. Verified Creators get instant approval for uploads and edits without moderator review.
All comments go through manual moderation to prevent spam and inappropriate content. Due to the volume of comments, approval may take some time. Thank you for your patience!
