Location [Modname] already used by another extension

Post by PilotterDib »

After coming back to the new 7.50 update I am having a problem with mods.
While playing on NvidiaGeForceNow everything was okay before the 7.50 update I have been playing since Cradle of Humanity and never experienced this problem.
'' Location [Modname] already used by another extension''
Which is a problem of steam workshop mods trying to reinstall themselves in the same location thus somehow bricking the mod
I have found the fix which would be just deleting old and new files before reinstalling mod again, but since I am playing on cloud gaming thing that is not an option for me.
After extended search across the internet I have been told to ask here on forums since information or help is not available outside of egosoft forums wondering if anyone has found a fix for this or is there anything I could do?
Is this a case of I had access to mods and now I just don't?

I'm afraid this isn't something we can help with. This is a matter between Steam, GeForce Now and modders, which we have no control or influence over.

Can the thread be left then? in case any users find a solution? I would appreciate any and all answers not only from developers. or should I delete this? I am not clear on how this whole forum thing works.

Of course we can leave it open. I was just letting you know that we wouldn't be able to help you ourselves. :)

On that note, it might also be worth asking in the scripts and modding forum, in case anyone else there has run into similar problems. In fact, I'll move this over there for you.

GeForce Now? I believe they broke something their end for Workshop and Egosoft games.
