playing custom maps crashes SMR

[The Titanium Hip [CRG]]

when I try playing custom maps in SMR (from https://archive.org/download/sid-meiers-railroads-custom-maps-collection) they crash with a runtime C++ error.
are there custom maps that can be used with the steam SMR, if so where would find them.

The above link does not work for the steam version and may only be for the original game
Or
I may need to do something to be able to have the steam version run them.

While i have not tested all of the maps yet, most do work as they were downloaded from https://sidmeiersrailroads.net

Which maps have you tried with the launcher?

Note if you are not using the launcher then make sure UserMaps goes in the correct location in My Games\Sid Meier's Railroads

the maps from That site work fine. it appears the archive,org has old maps, there is a site that talked about replacing fpk? in the maps , which might be what archive.org still has in the maps Thanks for the link.

I have removed all the old maps from archive,org and have 205 maps from sidmeiersrailroads.net

Update to version 1.12 https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-SMR-Launcher/releases/tag/version1.12

And dowload any missing map and try the update, most maps should now work.

update: it looks like I can only have one map in the usermaps folder. I put the Australia_3_v1_01 folder in there and it ran fine. later (after posting the above) I put 10 other map folders in there and tried playing the saved Australia game and it crashed, I move the 10 other maps out of the usermaps folder an was able to load and play the saved Australia game. (saw a post about only one usermap is allowed at a time). so it looks like the issue is, "only one user game/usermap can be in the usermap folder, otherwise the game crashes (unless ver. 1.12 fixes this).

You can only put 1 map at a time in usermaps and when you load the map in usermaps you must "touch each file" that is why i created a Launcher for this, try it out.

You can also ask on the Sid Meier's Railroads discord https://discord.gg/Th8MBdYW5v
