Mods on GeForce Now...

[ctcatuga]

I have been following all of the tips I have found online, but they are from 2 years ago or so.

Is not possible to play with mods on GFN now?? I have tried starting the game in GFN and subscribing to an asset, but the asset nor any of the previous mods/assets I am subscribed to on the computer are loading....

I have finally run out of memory on my computer, so this no longer loads. I have to use GFN.

Any help is appreciated!!

Do you have enough disk drive to run a substantial page file?

Have you tried setting your page file allocation to manual and setting the minimum/maximum to a set value, say, 4x that of RAM? Automatic page file allocation sometimes fails to keep up with memory requirements fluctuations and you get crashes that way.

I do not use GeForce so I cannot help you with that. This might help:

Yea, I did see that one. It unfortunately did not work for me.

How do I make the page file allocation the maximum? I'm not very tech savvy.

How well does it work with only a few mods installed?

Also, how many subscriptions do you have in total on the workshop?

What are your GeForceNow specs?

A simple solution might be to copy your steam workshop folder to geforcenow. You will need access to appdata to copy mods to the mods folder and assets to the assets folder.

Mine is located at:
C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons

You'll need to change Mar to your user folder name.

Hopefully it shows up in geforcenow and able to select all workshop you want/need. But you may need 32GB minimum for this game. and more, depending how much RAM geforcenow has. This game has a severe memory addiction. LOL

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask your current computer's specs? You may not even need GeForce Now. This game is 9-years old and most newer PCs will run CS1 just fine, even on a laptop.

In order to download your mods on GFN, is to uninstall the game, logout of steam, log back into steam, and then it will automatically start to download the game and your mod/assets. Once the game is downloaded launch the game and the mod/assets will continue to download in the background. Just do not start the game until everything is downloaded.

This method will not work if the game requires you to restart cs for the first time after installing mod and launching the game.

Do you mean start the launcher and wait until the donwload manager is finished?? I don't think I understand what you mean launch the game but do not start the game...

The mods start downloading after the game has been downloaded. After the game has downloaded you have the option to click "play" in steam. Click play but do not click "Resume" or "Start" on the next screen and wait for all your mods to download before starting. If you do not have that many mods you can wait for them to all download before clicking "Play"

But GFN stops due to inactivity after like 5 or 10 minutes or something like that and if your mods take longer than that to download you need to make sure you have started clicked "Play" at least. This will allow the mods to continue downloading but not force GFN to quit.
