Unable to load any created tracks

[RaySkids]

Hello, I am quite fairly new to trackmania and I am having trouble finding and loading tracks into trackmania2's track editor (trackmania2 Lagoon)
It's been telling me that "No appropriate media was found in this folder" and when I click on the folder button near the refresh button, it would open it in the Maniaplanet "my maps" folder and not the lagoon track editor folder, and clicking on the folder icon below the "open in explorer" text doesn't seem to do anything. I have tried seeing if moving it to the mania planet "my maps" folder would allow the tracks to be loaded but it still gave me the same message. I have since tried seeing if any other track editors have this problem and it seems the issue is the same with the others.

I assume you're talking about the Steam version of the game?

Yes, that is Correct.

There are several ways how to get tracks.

Of course, the simplest is to play on servers.
You can edit (create) your own tracks.

You can subscribe tracks in the Steam Workshop (they get downloaded and "installed" once you restart the game).
You can download tracks, like from https://tm.mania-exchange.com/, here you have to place the downloaded tracks typically into your Windows documents -> Maniaplanet -> Maps -> Downloaded
This also requires a restart of the game sometimes.

If you don't know where Maniaplanet is storing the data on your system, then please open the launcher (the Maniaplanet configuration tool) and press the help button, it will show two folders: game data, and personal data in the text next to the 4th button.
