When backing up a modded patch + maps on a data storage device from a 3.50 ps3 you lose the maps even though you have them installed, mine were from a friend and when you try to play online it will tell you to download the new maps after restoring from the backup.

1. All you do is go to the psn store and attempt to download the maps.
2. When it says "Activating..." wait for it
3. Once activated it should start the download cancle it and exit from the psn store.
4. Do that for both map packs.

Done! In game you should have the maps, as its activated them for you.

Even though you have a backup of the maps when restoring it wont allow you to play on them. So this method above will get them back for you.

Why is the thank button glowing ?

when you put a new patch on the ps3 and transfer from a external HDD you lose all the maps and data realated to the ps3 activated account (3.50)

1. go to playstation store and go to my downloads (at the top next to redeem code)

2. it will come up with a list of all the thing you have downloaded on the account (note if you havent downloaded the maps origionaly from this account the maps want show up ,theyll be on the other one you paid on )

3. search for the maps ,click dowload ,they should say activating once you click download you will see the download in the xmb , but you can start the game and the maps will be there to play on even thoogh there are downloading :bro:

lol, you dont need to download the maps only the activation is needed once activated they are there, prior to have already been in the backup that is.

Ok. Confused. How would you get the map packs on your 3.41 ps3 so everytime your backing it up. All it would take is activation.
