Recently, updating mods through the mod manager often ends up stuck perpetually trying to download the updates. If only the mods are slightly larger, at least.
At first I only experienced this with a less-popular mod and promptly reported it for potentially breaking the download. But right now I've experienced it yet again while trying to update the Mystic Class, which is quite a popular mod.
Has anyone else experienced this problem more frequently as of late?
Whenever this happens, I have to exit the game, delete my modsettings file, and unsubscribe from the mods on mod.io to prevent the download from automatically restarting.
All of this because nobody bothered to include a simple "stop download" button in the mod manager? Or a progress bar to at least be able to tell whether the download is proceeding (albeit slowly), or genuinely stuck?
I can only hope this doesn't happen on one of the mods I'm already using, because if I need to delete them from my mod manager, it will break save files. At this point I've just been refusing to update anything.
(I quite enjoyed the "Brutal Difficulty" mod, for example, but the addition of Arcane Exertion and Exhaustion completely took the fun out of it. I want my enemies to be stronger if I want more of a challenge - not to artificially debilitate my player characters. What was worst about that particular mod was the fact that player characters already established in game would receive Arcane Exertion without the passive to toggle it off, so there was no longer a choice. Had to delete a save file because of it, or I would have been stuck forcefully playing with Arcane Exertion, i.e. only one spell per turn, for the rest of the game. What's the point of playing sorcerers or casting Haste, then?
Anyway, that's beside the point - at least "Brutal Difficulty" did update correctly. But these unwanted modifications to existing mods are yet another reason to avoid updating.)
