Downloading mods.

L3gionTM

Hello. I came here with my problem that happened when i bought the game. I can join only to non-modded servers.
I tried tons of other, but no one works. I found some topics with troubleshootings, but maybe i am doing it wrong.

Details: Even the servers with one mod cannot let me to join in. Manual mod adding don't help too. Deleting workshop in %appdata% - same below.
Other:
- Running as administrator
- Disconnect > Run downloaded mods > Join again.
- Reinstalling Game.
- Unsubscribing mods.
- Verifying Steam caches by NS2 options > Local files.
- All tips together.

Everything that i see after a try is this:
NAME|STATE|SUBSCRIBED|ACTIVE
hy<8|UNAVAIBLE|YES|Yes/No
hy<8|DOWNLOADING (0%)|YES|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No

hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No
hy<8|QUEUED TO DOWNLOAD|NO|Yes/No

Please, can someone help me with this? If the topic was already, please for link. Thanks!


I have this problem out of 3-4 months.
If cache would help, please, tell me, how to delete this cache.

Unsubscribe all mods, delete %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\. Start ns2 and try to join a modded server and post the log here.

Maybe also try to change your steam download region. Steam -> Properties -> Downloads -> Download Region .

Now it says: "Missing required mod/s" I tried 2 servers.
Where i can find that log?

GhoulofGSG9

You find the logfile log.txt in the %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\ folder

When trying to connect to that server, what was the mod that was mentioned on the server screen? the mod listed in those files does not exist on steam workshop. I am wondering if there is a language issue...

GhoulofGSG9

What i find strange is that your client is trying to download a mod which doesn't exist anymore in the workshop ( ns2stats beta ). Did you try tochange the download region?

L3gionTM

Yes, i did. From UK to Ukraine.

IronHorse

Did you un subscribe from everything through the steam work shop?

L3gionTM

Please, read this again:

Other *adds here* THAT I TRIED:
- Running as administrator
- Disconnect > Run downloaded mods > Join again.
- Reinstalling Game.
- Unsubscribing mods.
- Verifying Steam caches by NS2 options > Local files.
- All tips together.

I still need a help, any chance?

L3gionTM

Today i tried to join to the server on an other computer. Test was positive, i was able to join to server. I saw Something while the game was loading:
Server modifications:
*Here all 6 mods had a normal name*
*I saw 6, not 1 or 0*

In my case its something like this:
Server modifications:
[NS2] Shine
y8
y8
* Or*:
Server Modifications:
*Nothing here*

Yes, i unsubscribed all my mods in-game.

L3gionTM

I see i cannot get help here. It's sad.
