Missing Mod NS2+

o0ber

Alright I have done everything i can find on steam support as well as what as i found on the forums. I've deleting my %appdata%\Natural Selection 2 workshop folder, and the instructions along with them.
I have done the nuclear solution of deleting everything related to ns2 beyond what a normal uninstall from steam does and then re-installing the game. It is ns2+ that I have notice in my mods states unavailable for download, and I am hoping someone might know the answer to how I can have this downloaded properly to play on servers that use ns2+.

Do you get one of the classic Steam workshop errors in console every single time? Error 16,17,18,22 etc. etc. Usually I'm able to successfully download the mod if I retry a couple of times.

Perhaps try a different Steam server to download from? Could give you the files but @Mendasp updates the mod every other minute.

Workshop is probably on the fritz again. Regardless, you don't need to subscribe to NS2+ yourself unless you're using it on a local server. If the server is running it, it'll automatically download and be used.

Alright, I have tried changing my steam server download but this didn't work. I am not sure what kind of error i am receiving. In console i just see "Error: Error installing Mod 'NS2+', and the download won't even start for it. I have been trying different solutions all day yesterday.

My brother who has not been having any problems at all playing on ns2+ servers is going to get me an usb with a copy of his workshop folder. I don't know if this will solve the issue or not.

Maybe in one of these builds the community dev team will address some of these workshop issues with some fall backs. Your lucky your getting this on a mod b/c if you were trying to load a map then people could not even play on your server at all.

WOOT! Okay, my brother had sarcastically said "Why not just log into my profile and download it." And guess what... It worked lol. I was able to download the mods through his profile, switch back to mine and begin playing on ns2+ moded servers.
