Painful Installing Mods!

[Slim Skinny]

Ultimate Edition player here. I am assuming the reason why it is painful right now to download the new mods is because of traffic. This is Crazy...the process for getting the mods is painfully slow on my i7 13700, RX7900 XTX, 64 GB of ram...what gives here CO and Paradox!

Your hardware doesn't matter when it comes to downloading mods. The pdxmods servers are overloaded.

That's why its an issue. Best plan would've been to stagger by regions.

This.

And LMAO we have steam workshop that would have been used by all the players without a any problem from the first second. And these developers keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up everything they touch....

I think having the ability to just add mods in game is fine using the paradox installer, just gotta wait until there's less people trying to download the same mods.

I doubt it is traffic. Current Steam users is 8300 and I seriously doubt even half are browsing mods - plus mods like move it are 50kb which is... tiny, right? Every mod I looked at was like 50kb or 2-3mb.

It took me over an hour and several restarts to download the equivalent of 50mb worth of mods... and now I am getting continual errors trying to download 1 map!

Or just have proper autoscaling and overprovisioning for the first day.

Steam workshop : <10 seconds to get a MOD or an asset
Paradox MOD : errrrrooooorrrrrrrrrr

any idea where the mod files would go? Because you can easily download them manually on the website without any issues, but where Would you put them.. unlike cs1 there isnt a folder i found that looks to be accepting the mods..

Biffa was praising PDX mods and latest dlc while hating on steam workshop in his latest video but at least steam workshop works.

Come on guys please say that i am in a dream.....The Paradox Hamster Servers cant handle this few players downloading mods ??? Other games have a own modhub too, like Farming Simulator. And look how many play this on steam and the standalone store version out of steam and on other platforms. Some more then here this city painter. And there you can easy download a mod which has more then hundreds mb. And when there is a new good mod release, thousands of people download this. Without problems.

I pray that a other company or indie team see this disaster and say: This is our chance. Lets make city builder great again. And bring the players a good game. Sorry that are hard words, but its amazing how they drive this game against the wall.

I don't believe I should have to wait personally. I think staggering by some regional process would relieve this bottleneck.

Yep, very painful process. Now it included Paradox since they took the Modding in-house. I get it, its a beta, but I can't get in the door. At this point it'll 8 hrs before I start checking the city I built with the patch and mods in place. Sucks, just sucks
