To make a long story short, I made a map on a computer that broke down, and I can no longer use it or access the files on it. Prior to that, I compiled it into an .SGA, and put it on another computer to test run it.

There was at some point an update for the game, and since that update, I can still play the map on the computer, but the .SGA is completely gone. It cannot be found in any folder related to Company of Heroes 2. Not in Documents/My Games/Company of Heroes 2, not in the primary Steam folder, nowhere. It seems to have ...completely vanished.

Obviously, the map still exists in some form, somewhere. I've attempted extracting various .SGA files related to maps, but they only yield Relic-made maps. Community maps show up as numerical files in Documents/My Games/ etc. My map was never uploaded, so it can't be found in there either.

Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm completely baffled.

The SGA file isn't located in
Code
\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2\mods\scenarios

?
If not, very weird.

As I said in my original post, the map was never uploaded to the workshop.

apparently my dyslexian brain skipped that line...
:loco:
okey i dont know if windows would allow coh2 to do this, or if your computer had enough whit disk-space to do this.

please check if you have a root folder on your C drive named Windows.old, if you have folder it's possible that coh2 of some reason reads from your old user.

if this folder does exist, then try this:

Code
C:\Windows.old\Users\"user"\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2\mods\scenarios

One solution is to upload the map to workshop and download it again :D
