Will the „some active mods are not present on disk“ issue be ever fixed?

[martin.duchoslav]

I would really like to use all mods I have downloaded but can´t because of the „some active mods are not present on disk“ issue still persisting. I have disabled OneDrive, so there must be another reason some mods aren’t working. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Thanks in advance.

The Paradox Launcher can be buggy sometimes. There's a setting that lets you refresh the mods to double check, since sometimes the mods are loaded but the launcher just derps out and doesn't see them.

Go to the "All Installed Mods" section, click on the circle/refresh button on the top right and hit the checkbox that says "clear out cached information". You won't always have to do that, since sometimes it does just freak out and mess up a mod's installation. In that case you'll have to go into your game's workshop folder, (the location of which I've forgotten but can be found with a quick Google search) delete everything (since its almost impossible to tell the mods apart easily when they're named with random numbers) and then relaunch the game to start it re-downloading all the mods. If you get lucky and manage to click on the right random string of numbers that is the mod in question, just delete that.

If that doesn't help, sorry but that's outside my area of expertise. The Paradox launcher likes to break in unique and inexplicable ways sometimes. Sorry if all this is stuff you already know too.

Yeah, think its a true bug then. Nothing short of a complete uninstall and deletion of all game files followed by a reinstall is likely to help now.

Long story short: you are not providing enough information. You may check this thread.

TriumphBas is the official expert on the matter. By the sound of it the Grandfather is on the right track. Whether you can solve it easily by changing some lines in some files is up to you. I would not have disabled OneDrive if you were using it. If you were not using it, I would not have had it installed to begin with...

Sorry for the necro. I fixed it by going to the playsets section. It still shows the mods there. Just click the x to remove them.

Yeah, I've since discovered that sometimes a mod poorly updates or gets deleted off the Workshop. In doing so it ends up deleting itself off your PC, but the launcher stores the list of mods and is still looking for it. So when you try to launch it, it looks for mods that don't exist and freaks out.

Any idea how to fix this?

The only way I could think of is a full uninstall and reinstall. Even clicking the "Clear Cache" button in the launcher doesn't guarantee it'll go away. Luckily you can ignore the nonexistant mod, though it does get annoying after a while where they're bloating your list of mods and you have to scroll past 6 or 7 of 'em.

If you click stop and then go back to "play" again on steam it usually fixes that

If I do that, will I lose my progress in the pantheon?

Only if you're not using Cloud-saves, I imagine. Though with some Steam games your save data is saved, even if the rest of the files are deleted.

Yep. That at least should have your progress saved.

Saved me a full reinstall which probably wouldn't have fixed the issue
