Mods Broken?

[NZ-Wanderer]

I was not sure where to put this, so if it is in the wrong place can someone please move it.

I installed the Beta 2.0 patch today, and all of a sudden I am getting this in the extensions area of the game:

http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/328 ... 7DD32D4FB/
and
http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/328 ... 8515F3244/

Now the reason I am posting this, is that I never had these conflicts before installing the beta patch, so I am guessing that something in beta broke most of the mods..
Anyway, the pictures show the mods that seem to be broken.

Yes, most likely none of those mods will work with the latest version without updating.

Well I figured out what was causing the problem...
Taking out only Mad Jokers mod fixed it, there are no more errors on all remaining mods now.

Hi,

I just tested my mods with the 2.0 Beta and I don't have any problems. The error seen in your screenshot ("The location '' is already used by another extension") also seems weird.

My suggestion is to remove all mods, validate your game files via steam, and then re-subscribe to or re-download the mods.

Hafe vun!

Thanks for the MJ, I will give it a go tomorrow and see what happens.. - I thought it was kinda wierd, but not knowing anything about how mods work I didn't have a clue what was going on.

Hi,

these errors are not expected. Changing to the beta version (or any Steam update in general) should not touch the installed extensions.

The message "The location '' is already used by another extension" indicates that Steam sends incomplete data about the subscribed Workshop items (specifically, the folder name is missing) and the game fails to update them.

Perhaps one or multiple of these steps can help you to resolve the problem:

• Delete the folder "ugcmsgcache" from Steam\userdata\<accountID>
• Delete consumed.vdf from Steam\userdata\<accountID>\ugc
• Delete all "ws_..." folders from Steam\SteamApps\common\X Rebirth\extensions, or even the whole extensions folder

Deleting the extensions folder is safe, unless you have non-Workshop mods in there that you want to keep, or disabled updates. The game will automatically re-download all subscribed extensions.

Hi there
Thanks for that, I did as you suggested and deleted the first two files, however, I did not have any "ws_..." folders at all, just the normal names for the extensions.
So what I did, was move all other mods that weren't steam to another folder then just deleted everything else.. - Then I moved the mods back, and restarted steam.
Running X-Rebirth now with all mods installed does NOT show up those errors any more.
Thank you
