MODS (modio) fixing for Win7
Im using Windows 7 x64 Professional
Yesterday I started the game in Safe Mode for a troubleshoot. Now I cant install any mods even I started normal mode. The install just loading and nothing hapening even I have subscribed mods.
I deleted mods folder both in FSD and SaveGames as a try, but it did nothing also.

Any idea what should I do?

There's your problem.


UPDATE REGARDING MOD.IO NOT WORKING:
We have been investigating this issue and have identified that the
cause of this bug is because you are running an unpatched version of
Windows 7 that does not support the latest security protocols (TLS1.2)
which our servers may require for secure communication between your
game and our service.

We strongly recommend updating to a supported operating system such as
Windows 10 or Windows 11. However, if you wish to continue to use
Windows 7, you must update it to support TLS 1.2 by installing the
latest required Windows Updates from Microsoft.

You can find instructions on how to update your copy of Windows 7 to
support TLS 1.2 at this Microsoft Support article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392

Please note: that these update instructions are provided without
warranty from mod.io and we cannot guarantee they will work correctly,
or that the update process will not cause issues with your
installation of Windows 7.

I've never used any mods, so not sure about what the source of this issue could be, but have you checked that you're still subscribed to the mods on Mod.io?

Yes my friend, I subscribed those mods. I even re-subscribed them all just in case.
Still no mods installing, it only show loading animation on Mod panel ingame.

how long do you wait in solo lobby? I've noticed modio being a bit slow recently to where I have to wait roughly a minute before the game realizes I installed/uninstalled a mod and adjusts accordingly regardless of how many mods I have installed

Hey Frisky!

i dont get your question. How long it load a mission? Or how long load me first into the Rig when start the game?

My problem started after when I used the Safe Mode (Mods disable) option. Since then I cant install mods, even i subscribe them. It just loading but nothing hapening.

what I meant is just how long you spend waiting in the space rig after you loaded into DRG, usually before I join a mission or start I mission I wait a minute or two for mods to catch up and update/download since they seem to react slowly now for me

I open up the Mods panel in setting and there it say no mods installed, it is empty. There is a button Install Mods, whatsend me to modio where I already have subbed mods.

Update: I uninstalled DRG and deleted the remaining folder and files. I reinstalled DRG, loaded the saves and the Mods still NOT installing after subscribe.

I dont know how the Safe Mode screwed this so much. It supposed to help not ruin things even more.

I would realy appreciate some advice. What more I can do to solve this issue?

Have you tried logging out/logging back in?

Also, did you choose a Dx mode when you started "normally" or did you just hit the top option to play DRG?

Also, also, check you launch parameters for DRG.

I logged out from modio then logged back. (It needed anyway after Safe Mode)
I always start with DX11 mode, just in case as im on Win7.
Yes I checked launch parameters and there is no -disablemods thing there. That command line is empty. Or what else I can check on launch parameter?

Haven't people been having issues using Mod.io with Windows 7 lately? I thought I remember hearing that?
