[The Seb 2.0]

I am unable to download mods In ASM (Ark Server Manger) , I have googled this all over online and I am unable to find anything on the case, it seams like its missing the destination folder, but when I use the file path locator in ASM I find a folder called 'mods' My error info:

[UPDATER] Mod 731604991.

*Happens with any mod I try
Any help given is greatly appreciated!
!!! I fixed it lol, the error I was having was due to me watching a youtuber do it, I read over how to install the mods on the ASM website, and that seams to have fixed it. Thanks everyone!!!

go to ASM settings, click Get WebApi key, insert the steam WebApi key on ASM

You can also manually update the mods if you get them first yourself on the workshop. add me if you want to know how to do this. It saves time and is easy to do.

Most probably it isn't the API Key but the fact that he checked "Force mod download" and "Force mod file copying" in the ASM Settings, which seems to have some trouble with the Directories.

Cause the download seems to complete just fine "Success. Downloaded item 731604991" , but force copying resulted in the Error.

On second thought, how much space is avail on Drive C ?

The last and only time i had issues with mod downloads, i setup the api key. No problems since then.

I don't have my server installed to 'program files'. Might need to allow ASM admin access, that folder has added security.

I never had to install any API to use mods in ASM.

there was a time a lot of people didn't got updates cause the standard API Key had his max web hits exceeded. Was back in early 2017 if i remember that right. So changing that isn't the worst Idea ;-)

I have at least 20gb avilable in drive c, and I have force mod/copy mod all disabled, I also have tried adding a WebApi Key, did not work
I can also confirm that the mods are downloaded on my system, just arnt being recognised by the server

Only other thing I can think of is your folder being named with spaces and it having issues with spaces, I got into the habit of making mine ark_server or something like that otherwise you have to have " around the path for it to understand it's all one line.

Could be a permission issue. It could be that it is just that mod. I saw another post about s+ not downloading properly.

And this won't help, but if you only have 20GB left it is far past time for a new drive. You should never let a drive get that full, especially if it's an ssd.

I have force mod download unchecked and force mod file copying unchecked
and I still can't download Primal Fear(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=839162288)
I also have a web api key.
