    [Far Cry Arcade] Searching for maps

    Today, I found an outpost map, called "desert". Original author: "zacharydpippin", revision author: "P-W-D". First I wanted to play the original produced map. So I searched for the original map, by a search for author "zacharydpippin" and found a map, called "desert", published at 2020-03-16. I was really wondering about that, because I played ALL outpost maps, which were published in the month march. So I started a new search only for outpost maps, sorted by publishing date. And really, the original map "desert" from "zacharydpippin" did NOT appear. This happened also in the browser (https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com), when I used the "advanced map search". The map appeared only, when I used the search criteria "author".

    Now my question: Are there other "hidden" maps, which doesn't appear, by searching e.g. "outpost maps, sorted by date"? I had a sneaking suspicion before, but was not sure. But the example above verifies it. What causes this situation?

    That particular map is in the Workshop group so it was never in the NEW section. If you check the Workshop group every day you would have seen it when it was published.

    Thank you AKAFootloose!
    I've never been in the Workshop group. What is it meant for? Is it just for some unfinished work or are the maps in this group waiting for some other map makers to finish the map?

    Workshop is designed to catch "low effort" maps. It will also catch maps that were downloaded, only minor changes made and re-published. All maps are required to have a minimum number of actions(unknown number) or they will end up in Workshop.
