Maps loaded into maps folder, still can't load the maps.
I followed the instructions included in many of them, and they are all the same.
Download
extract ( I put them into their own folders in Steam/Steamapps/Common)
cut .bsp file, then paste .bsp file into Steam/Steamapps/Common/Portal 2/Portal2/maps/
run steam
start game (here it is unclear whether to start new game, or continue an existing game, I did both)
enable developer console (has been for a long while now)
press the ~ key
type map <map name> (without the <...>)
But, what happens then is I get disconnected from the server, and I can't play anything until I load a new game again, or continue an existing game.
I feel like I am so close, but doing something wrong.
<---- ID10t error.
Is this a co-op map or a singleplayer map?
Also, which map is this?

all of them are SP, and I have tried Cubi, missing geodome, angrybombs, lost in testing among others.
Also, I verified the something or other, and did something to the cache too. Sorry, I can't brain tonight, I have the dumb. I will check the instructions I followed from the google search using the error messages I had originally.
originally, after loading the maps and trying to run Portal2, I had the error message "failed to load the launcher dll" and I followed the instructions to
Verify integrity of game cache...
And finally do Defragment cache files.
There is an 'edit' button for a reason...don't triple post. ?_?
Try following the playing Portal 2 maps guide located in my signature.
You just need to place the .bsp file in 'portal 2/portal2/maps'. If it is a .vpk file, place it in 'portal 2/portal2/addons/'.
If you are running Portal 2 whilst placing the .vpk type in the console 'update_addon_paths' then do the 'map <mapname>' step.
From the looks of your instructions...
extract ( I put them into their own folders in Steam/Steamapps/Common)
cut .bsp file, then paste .bsp file into Steam/Steamapps/Common/Portal 2/Portal2/maps/
run steam
start game (here it is unclear whether to start new game, or continue an existing game, I did both)
No need to start any game, be it saved or you are creating a new one.
Once you have started Portal 2, and you are at the main menu...just enable the developer console and type 'map <mapname>'.
If that doesn't work try this.

yes! that's it. use the dev console from the main menu. That wasn't mentioned anywhere, and for some reason I thought it only worked within a game. Nice.
Thanks!
Also, I didn't think I triple posted. At least, not the same thing.
You posted one after the other...three times...want me to count again? ?_?
Also...this means I shall update my guide...didn't think that some people would try to do it in-game.

Um it works in game. I do it in game all the time. I test other peoples maps and at the end I <map name> into the next one. Works fine.

Maybe it works differently in the campaign *shrugs shoulders*
