Can't download any mods.
The website says: Application error

An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

And ingame I keep getting Download failed __1__

When I attempt to sign into the site when it loads 1 out of 50 trys i get server error 500

Ive been trying since yesterday and i only got one mod to download from the ingame mod menu.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The servers don't have enough resources to handle everyone, so it semi-randomly shuts down for a short while.

It seems to be mostly ok during EU morning and early afternoon, but as soon as evening comes it starts to not work all that well.

i got the same issue in the last 2 days.
I usally get a random error when downloading mods ingame.

It was so bad i had to update only 1-2 mods at a time by transfering all mods form the main folder to a backup one, restart the game and try that update bouton over and over untill it works, then try to get those mods updated and hopefully avord an error.
Then once it's managed to update those i repeat the process untill all mods are up to date.

It took several tries to even update a single one.

It's not helping that 0.15 came out, alot of mods are getting updated now... making it worse. :steamsad:

I had regular errors before but it is so bad lately i had to make this work around to get 10+ mods updated...took over 15min to get those updated. ugh.

If you are doing things half-manually anyway, you could try to download the mods directly from the mod portal's website.

It seems to be working currently, downloading mods ingame without any issues right now.

Yea, I was getting this yesterday. They have the forums and mod portal running from the same IP and it bogs the server down at times. They should just to to steamworks but they wont for some reason.

They won't because the game isn't solely available on Steam. You can buy it DRM free off their own site.

The problem is really only arising because of 0.15. A hell of a lot of people have come back to play it, so the load on the server is far above normal.

The reason was explained in your thread.

Actually, I already knew the reason, and was just making a post on it to see if others where being affected. So shimmer on down and leave well enough alone. If you want to go ahead and be sadbad over it, go right ahead if you think you are feeling froggy, just beware, I am not some random that will roll over and will fire back at least ten fold.

Nice, straight in with the aggression again.

Don't feed then. You poke the bear then call him out when he growls at you. Hope you keep some silvernitrate around, seems like you are the type to get burned easily. Stop playing with fire.

Haha, ok big boy but you can save it for someone who might be impressed by an anonymous random making impotent threats on the internet.

What threat? Look dude, you opened your mouth, I replied back. I don't think you understand how a conversation works, so let me give you a few pointers. First, you get a reaction based on your opener. In this case you decided to take a jab at me about something that doesn't even matter. You act surprised when that I respond with aggression when your intent was obviously meant to illicit just that response. This is what I do not get. You go fishing and when you get the exact bite you are looking for, you cry foul and act like you didn't do anything.

Yea, I am aggressive. I talk this way on and off the internet, and believe you me, I get way more respect from it because it works both ways. Sure, you see the rougher side of personality because that is simply what you asked for. I reposnded to this thread, not with harsh words because no one said anything to warrant that. Until you popped in, laid down your cheap shot and now you got a problem because you got what you wanted.

Cool. Maybe try to be a human instead of garbage to someone first.
