Mod.io not working

[kev11106]

I'm clicking in-game and getting nothing. I'm signed up. Wut...

its trash , we wanted steam workshop

[VeRrUeCkTeR_IWAN]

Sadly i think chances are low for that, since this game is also on EGS, they cant just download any mods from the steam workshop, so it is needed to have a external site...

But yes, not a fan of mod.io and not i also dont really want to create an account there

Yeah I just started getting this problem today, was working fine earlier. Now can't join any of the good servers (modded ones) because I'm "not logged into mod.io" even though I am...

[kev11106]

Figured it out. Go to your Steam settings and turn on your in-game overlay. Then go back into the game and click the Mod.io button. Should work.

[TheSurlyBambi]

Yeah, already had that enabled. Anyway, I deleted all the content of the mod folder for this game. Verified integrity like 5x now, logged in and out and in to mod.io numerous times, tried subscribing to downloads yet it doesn't download... My game used to work just fine, was playing earlier yesterday with 0 issues, on modded servers (about all I play anymore). Then suddenly mod.io is giving me problems... I really wish the devs would just integrate this into Steam, this mod.io is really broken it seems. Even when it does work, I still have to manually go into the mod folder and delete old versions of updates. It's ridiculous.

Okay, I went this route and it seems to have fixed the issue:

Uninstall the game, delete ALL content from your PC/hard-drive in relation to the game.

I forgot to delete this folder (uninstall will not delete this, content here was likely corrupted):
C:/Users/*UserName*/AppData/Local/Insurgency

When the game 'uninstalls' it just purges this one folder:
C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Sandstorm

I did also go through mod.io and redid my account authorization, I'm not sure this is really needed now. I'm thinking something was just corrupted in the files for the game. So best route is complete uninstall/delete all content, then just start reinstalling again.

Right now its downloading all the mods/maps I typically use/play (ISMC being one of the best).


Oh and just to beat a dead horse: I really wish they would have just kept it all in Steam Workshop, I never had this much BS in dealing with mods/downloads on any of my other Steam games.

With Mod.io you have to MANUALLY purge old downloads/files it doesn't remove/replace when you download a new version of a map/mod, it just makes another folder. I kinda found this out the hard way when I noticed this game was getting bigger and bigger, even larger than ARMA 3... I realized its the broken method in which mod updates are downloaded...

Yeah, I also have this problem since couple of days ago and funny thing that there is no information how to deal with it except this particular discussion. Looks like I will have to reinstall to though it'll take 2 days for me now :(

Thanks for the info, hopefully this thread might help others in the future.

I did try what your link says back when I was having this problem, but with no success. However for some this may be what they need to do.

I had the same issue several days ago for unknown reason.
I googled this issue and found this thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/581320/discussions/2/1867245278720136174/

It mentioned that if you go to the engine.ini file and modify a section titled:[/script/modkit.modioclient] , the problem could be solved.

I followed this process but with no luck. I logged into mod.io website, and found that somehow my access token is expired, I guess that thing only worked for 1 full year and was not auto renewed for me. I actived a new access token and copied the long string to replace the one in engine.ini.
But the issue is not solved in my situation.

After several back and forth, I simply delete the section [/script/modkit.modioclient] and saved the engine.ini file. And launched the game, the problem is solved! Seems like if that section is missing, the system would retrieve that information from mod.io and make everything work again.

I think this is a pain in the aXX for normal player to look at the document and code at mod.io and try different things for several hours but still cannot understanding what is going on. Hope dev could help to address these issues.

This worked for me, thanks!

Aaaa man, exactly what I did, just to realize that the same was within the Trello-board answered haha

Just for the sake of having it PERMANENTLY here:

------------------ SOLUTION ------------------

> This issue occurs whenever your Mod.io token becomes invalid. You can resolve this issue by renewing your token.

1) Navigate to:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsClient.

2) Open the "Engine.ini" file.

3) Delete the bottom portion under [/script/modkit.modioclient] and save the file.

The next time you click on the Mods option in the in-game menu, you will have to re-accept the Mod.io terms of service. After that, a new token will be generated for you, which should fix the issue.

You can do it this way too.
It was troublesome, so I deleted engine.ini and it was solved.
