Hi! I made the Cheat Commander mod released on Steam Workshop and on NexusMods. It's needed some updates and while this is easy and already done on NexusMods, Steam Workshop doesn't let me update.

When I press Update in the Publish Project window, it goes through all the steps, uploads the file, etc, but after it finishes nothing happens at all, and the workshop isn't updated at all.

I've tried many times with no success. I've also tried making a new test mod and uploading it to the workshop, and I can easily update that test mod, everything works fine. When I swap back to the Cheat Commander mod though, it still just does the same thing as before. Goes through all the steps, then nothing. No error comes out in the Message Log. Nothing.

Has anyone else come across this, and is there any way to fix it? My mod already has close to 10k subscribers on Steam Workshop, so recreating it isn't really an option, but I also really want to get an update out to them because it contains new features and important fixes.

Thanks in advance. If it helps, my workshop page can be found here:

Does publishing it locally work?

That's seems pretty strange then. What happens if you publish it as a private or friend's only mod? Same problem?

Worst case scenario, you could upload your updated version on Nexus, and link it in the Workshop version's description for the time being, until someone from Larian can help you figure it out, or we figure out a solution.

Have you tried restarting Steam? Maybe there's some sort of verification error that the account using the editor =/= the mod's author on Steam. Or maybe something is specifically corrupted in your mod's files, related to the Workshop. Maybe look at the Mods/YourMod/meta.lsx file and see if anything looks off - Make sure none of the xml tags/nods/elements are broken, and make sure your attribute values don't contain something invalid, i.e.:
Code
<attribute id="Description" value="This is technically an invalid "description" since it has quotes within quotes" type="30" />

Oh man, I was typing up a reply for each point I attempted, how the meta file looked fine and everything...

Then on a whim, in frustration I removed all of the displayable value text manually in meta.lsx file such as the description, author, mod name, etc. Then, back in the editor, I simply typed it all back in how it was before, and it worked!

I'm not quite sure what the problem was before, since the xml formatting seemed correct and the info I put back into it was essentially the same, and I didn't think to make a copy of the previous data since I fully expected it to not work. But it did!

Thanks for the pointers and the help! Glad it's all working again. smile

Sorry for missing this one. Must've been a frustrating issue.

Glad you got it resolved! I'll put up a request to investigate the code behind it to see if we find what might have caused this issue smile

Sincerely,
Kevin
