Mods not loading when joining friend's server

[KillSwitch Disengage]

As the title says. Modded weapons won't load into the game when joining a buddy's server even though I am subscribed to all of the proper mods. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing the issue?

[♂TheBlasterMaster™✞]

Do they work on other servers?

[Tripp]

my friend is also having this issue

[ScoobyDrew]

same problem, don't get prompted to sync mods any more. friend looks silly walking around holding an invisible gun

[LoneClue]

same just after changing the map via f8..they worked before though..

i hosted a server with mods yesterday,first it didnt work...then i checked "modding" in the main menu. there are 2 settings within,one is called local the other server settings.

if you want to host go into server instead of local settings

all players must manually enable mods they want play and drop them into the window below where they are listed, highlight the mod and click on the little arrow facing down to add them.

that worked for my mate and myself.
hope this helps.

Yep no mods loading for anyone that joins my server. Yes I got everyone to go through adding all mods to their server but still 0 weapon mods for them but they join and play map mods no problem.... There goes my weekend!

Did you load them in your local server mods on the main menu? You have to add them to server mods first and then, once that is done, reboot your game before hosting

Yep they worked a few days ago (I stream it on Tuesday nights on twitch). I put in a new map and shot gun mod via steam workshop today as I normally do and now none of the weapon mods show in game even though we used them last Tuesday. I see all the mods in game but joiners don't, even though I am holding a mod rifle they don't see it.

I will over this weekend disable and delete all the mods I have in local and server, reboot and play default then exit and start adding the mods back in to see what happens. The server has stopped downloading the mods automatically to anyone that joins also.

Yep, mods still not working.. Mod sync used to work and now it's totally bugged, even if we use the same mods my mates try join and it unloads all mods before joining.

Like I said, I was playing with a friend, just changed the map via F8 and after that the mods stoped working. They worked before in the same seassion. I did not close the game so this is a bug.

Do you remember if it was a mod map you changed to? Was it Run down - room clearance only? Terrorist hunt

it was a mod map, but I cant remeber wich one..but not the one you mentioned as I didnt subscribed to it.

[Jack Spanner]

OK thank you. I was wondering if maybe it was the map mod that did something.

[Jack Spanner]

Right I managed to get it all working again.

I disabled and deleted all the mods, local and server side and submitted the changes. *
Restarted the game.
Loaded in to the hosted lobby with no mods.
Exited the game.
Resubscribed to all the mods.
Activated the mods in local
Added the mods to server.
Restarted the game.
Checked the Mutator tab and found 2 errors "The mutator failed to load. This is usually due to a programming error in Lua script"?
I clicked refresh list and 3 new mutators appeared to load correctly. Inventory management, Server management and Weapon restriction.
I then loaded in to a mod map and when 2 friends loaded in everything worked as normal for 2-3 rounds.

I will be trying it again later today but so far it fixed it.

* Some of the mods I needed to disable twice as the first time didn't work.
P.S. The server is still not auto downloading mods to joiners.

Hope this helps.

Update:

Started playing again tonight and played 3-4 round with no problems. On changing the map to 747(full map) all mod weapons vanished for joiners. So the game is borked for me somewhere.
