Why i can't play with mods in Geforce now?
It seems that it does not identify the mods even having downloaded it in the workshop

i tried joining an online server with mods, and the mods i had to install within the game worked when i went back to solo

Found this work around when googling it, but can't say if it works or not: https://www.reddit.com/r/GeForceNOW/comments/vsdnbd/comment/if1cjd5/
I thought about this possibility of installing games while gfn is open, but that's only with Zomboid, gmod and other games I never had problems

I play most of my games with Geforce Now, zomboid included.

The issue with GFN is that you have to let steam re-download every mod each session. For zomboid, it sometimes get stuck.

So what you want to do is after launching zomboid, go into the mod tab ingame. And enable any mod you see there then exit to main menu. Let the game reload itself then go back to the tab. Mods should now be downloading and appearing slowly. If not or if it get stuck again, disable the mods you previously enabled or enable another one and repeat step 1.

Edit: Worth pointing out that **ANY** mod that requires you to edit any game file or folder will not work. Only mods that are as simple as download(from workshop) and play will work. This is the case for any GFN game.

Awesomeee, this really does work, just tried it and im so happy bc i really wanted to try mod on PZ and I been trying for so long. My mistake was that when i got out of the Mods tab, the game would freeze and I’d just alt-f4 but saw this post, waited, went back to the mods tab and there were my mods. Cant express my gratitude enough

Is there anyway you can keep the mods enabled or do you ah e to do it everytime? And can you pu mods with your friends everytime I try host one with mods it says “normal termination”
I have the same issue
