Map Compare

Pick two maps to compare metadata from our official and Workshop guides. Workshop platform ratings sync from the CVL compatibility index when available.

Map Compare lets you evaluate two Meccha Chameleon stages side by side before you queue or subscribe to Workshop content. Compare player counts, lighting, hider safety ratings, seeker sweep priority, and platform compatibility pulled from our official and Workshop guides. Workshop rows sync CVL compatibility badges when a CVL profile exists, so Steam Deck and Mac hosts can avoid maps that hitch on weak hardware. Use it when your group argues about Hotel vs. Backrooms or before adding a heavy custom like Candy Land to rotation night.

Frequently asked questions

Common player questions — written for search and AI citation.

Where does Map Compare data come from?

Official map fields come from `map-compare-profiles.json` maintained with our stage guides. Workshop platform ratings merge from the CVL compatibility index when available.

Why do some Workshop maps show Mac as unsupported?

CVL manual testing tracks CrossOver and native Mac stability per map. A ❌ means testers saw crashes or severe frame drops — not that Steam blocks the download.

Choosing a lobby map?

New players: start with official stages. Low-end PCs: filter for ✅ low-end ratings. Party groups: match Route Planner to your map pick.
