"An error occurred with the following problem: A parameter is incorrect" Unable to upload anything to workshop

[_MaZ_TeR_]

Every time I try to upload literally anything to Workshop through SFM, it gives me the error I mentioned in the title. Already tried everything, even recompiling my models I want to upload and it just doesn't work. It happens with other models I've already uploaded before and haven't changed a bit.

Is there any way I can fix this?

'along the lines' is not very helpful. should be the correct error message. you also got a link to the old thread? is the model loading correct? everything working correct? entirely.

a thing i slightly remember i experienced is that, i think if it finds shared resource files that are in the workshop folder it denies the upload. iirc i had that happen when doing a texture mod with sharing something from the workshop model. vague memory from me tho. give it a try? :)

thinking about 'any model' you may have to figure out how many gigabytes of storage you use for your workshop submissions. i think there is a limit on it. i dunno what that error would look like. i'm not abusing that much space. or maybe just wait til tomorrow. you never know when the server is not really responding and throw some random stuff on your screen.

You model may have a material that you are not using (it doesn't actually have a vmt and you forgot to remove it from the 3d editor material list when you exported) or one that ships with SFM that can't be replaced. Make sure you're not trying to upload to a game controlled folder.

Sorry for the late response, I was supposed to answer earlier but then forgot the entire thread.

Once the upload reaches 100%, I get a pop up saying:

An error occurred


A parameter is incorrect

And the model I'm trying to upload won't even get uploaded. Same happens with the spesific model I'm trying to upload, with a simple cube which uses a single material of the previous model or any of my earlier workshop uploads I haven't touched even the slightest. I'm really confused.

No it doesn't have anything like that. It uses materials and textures that are required and there's nothing extra or left over or anything that came with SFM. All is custom.

And the texture/material paths are the same ones which my previous models are using, although with different sub-paths.

Come on -__-

It was because I had an unusual letter in the description of the model

ASCII Characters Only without using things like $#^&*@()!{}|\?/ (reserved characters) is the best way to go... t

I hope this discussion hasn't died out, but I also got this problem. I was trying to submit a TF2 Cosmetic to the Worshop. I tried to change the files' names and I still have that error, can anyone help me too, please?

Change the description as well. Just remove everything from it and add it later once it has uploaded

I did that, but it did asked me to put a description, I tried to just put a word, then just a letter and I still have the problem
