Mods constantly "downloading" all of a sudden (Steam)

[twoski]

if it's only happening to certain people then would that suggest there's a file that needs to be redownloaded somewhere?

has anyone tried deleting clientregistry.blob or something like that?

it deinstalled eversthing in stem workshop folder, the game configs and the game itself.
It only works until i restart my pc/steam.

Same thing for m, as soon as I restart Steam, no matter what I did before, it's there again.

Since not everybody has this problem, it's probably dependent on certain versions of either the PC or Steam.

So wait, all of a sudden now everyone is having this problem together, all at once?

Did something change with Steam to make this start happening?

Idk others but I had this problem since at least a couple of weeks before A16 was released. I was just too lazy to report it.

In my case it was just always 1 mod that was downloading and idk what it is or if its actually a mod, never happened having all of them like that.

I reported it here (sadly didnt noticed that it was already reported) recently because this time I saw 2 mods like that (from about 30) and i thought that shit might be slowly becoming serious. For some reason the second one disappeared, but since it started I always, always had 1 mod downloading. Even switching computers and installing rimworld from 0 didnt make the trick.

could everybody having this problem report if they are using the beta or stable build of the steam client. (I've heard quite a few ppl reporting here use the beta build, me aswell)
This might give us a clue why this happens. (switching back to the stalbe build doesn't fix the bug tho)

[RickyMartini]

Well the bug is gone now for me..... Can't really say what made it fix itself, but 2 days ago I changed a couple of things in the Steam settings, not sure if it got fixed because of that.

[twoski]

weird, it seems i am on the steam beta. gonna disable beta and see if that helps

edit: nope, still buggy

[twoski]

ok now my game is back to normal. did tynan change something or was this a delayed effect caused by me opting out of the steam beta?

someone else with this bug needs to try opting out of the steam beta then restarting steam (as well as their pc) to see if that fixes it.

[RickyMartini]

Your story sounds similar to mine. Maybe Steam beta has something to do with it.

Maybe Tynan/Ison should check what exactly changed in Steam in the last couple of weeks/months.

[Tynan]

I have talked to Valve. It is their fault, and they are fixing it. So when they push their fix, things will work again properly.

Closing this now because there's nothing for me to do.
