Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General Workshop Mods Not Downloading Properly?

I've had some complaints about my little autosave mod not properly being placed in the mods folder in My Documents






I remember this happened in D:OS 1 but I don't remember what the resolution was. Any ideas?

Confirmed to still work as intended.

The system fetches steam information from the subscribed modules on startup and copies everything to the mods folder. If the Mod is the active campaign, it puts it in an Input folder and throws a message that the mod will be replaced after a restart.

Copying is indeed something Steam does not do by itself, the back-end provides mod information and "subscribed"/"downloaded"/... events that get handled at run-time.

A common problem might be file permissions (steam mods are in Program Files) or maybe very bad connections, not allowing the download or information fetch requests to occur properly.

The problem though is people are saying it works for other mods but mine is simply never showing up:

So I finally figured out what the heck was going on.

I changed the name of my mod in the project settings. Well the name I changed it to was "Timed Autosaves for D:OS 2".

Only problem is Steam apparently likes to rename the actual pak file as the logical name you give it in the project settings. The editor itself does not do this when uploading. Which would be fine if I hadn't used a character (:) that windows can't write as a filename.

We'll make sure to disable the ability to add those invalid characters to the project name.

FYI, invalid Windows filename characters:

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)
ASCII NUL
Control Characters (1 through 31)
