Mods in-game menu bugged?

Csae

<div class="IPBDescription">Lots of blank entries and several old entries</div>Anyone else having issues? Theres a ton of blank entries, meaning i'll have one mod listed, a bunch of space underneath it with SUBBED/ACTIVATE and then more mods actually listed underneath...

Can't remove them.

Even some mods i unsubbed from are still listed. Is there an ini file or something i can reset or edit?

I would like to add that some sort of preview would be nice too, not all of them are named descriptively enough :P

Phasing to Tech Support.
You can try to clear the "%appdata%\Natural Selection 2" folder

Ah! Cheers, i cleared the workshop folder and it fixed it. Reading through some of them they seemed to be server downloaded mods, things like admin kits and whatnot.

A preview button for mods, and even a remove altogether button might be nice! /said the orderly marine comm

But cheers my problem is fixed.

You're welcome and thanks for confirming!

I experienced the same thing with regular mod installs, I believe it happens to everybody. The steps to reproduce:

1) Subscribe to a mod via the workshop
2) Wait for the mod to be installed (in the game, perhaps restart it)
3) Unsubscribe to a mod via the workshop

Expected behaviour: Mod removed from appdata folder and mods menu
Actual behaviour: Mod folder remains in appdata, phantom entry in mods menu

As far as I can tell, there is no simple way to uninstall a mod from NS2. You have to both unsubscribe from the workshop and also delete it from the appdata folder.

Known issue, I also mentioned it during the live Q&A last night (Hugh answered it towards the end) - I think the latest patch might make it "worse" by showing the names of the mods, even though you're not subscribed, and they're not active - and because you can't sort by subscribed / active...

Anyway, I've already made a suggestion to the devs about a couple of ways to resolve the issue - either by allowing the user to delete them from the list, or to automatically work out what you're subscribed to, and either display only those mods, or to delete anything that you're no longer subscribed to.

needs a toggle or separate form to show cached non-subscribed mods, their size*, and an option to delete them.

* then again, if the developers are bad at asynchronous programming, maybe it's best to keep it simple?
