Workshop content downloading over and over after update

[Zenidar]

Is this happening to anyone else? My client updated today and since the update every time I log into steam it re-downloads every single workshop item I am subscribed to. Once I log off and then log back in, it downloads them again, and again and again. I was looking to see if anyone else posted about this but haven't seen anything. A bug? There are also new sections in the download area that show the same things. One section is called Workshop, the other is Completed. It is a bit annoying to download so many rimworld and cities skylines mods every time I start the client.

The same problem. I have downloaded mods for Arma 3 game over and over again. I really hope for a speedy fix. (Sorry for my bad English)

It's not just affecting players in this way. Logged off of Ark to d/l a new map. Went through the process then, said mod failed to install. nothing else downloaded. But now, can't find any of the servers I played on. No survivors,no favorites, no direct connect works.......nothing. Doing all that other stuff isn't going to fix this. VALVE needs to get on this now. Why aren't they posting any announcements anywhere concerning their screw up? This happened early yesterday.

I agree, no excuse for a multi million dollar company to have an issue like this and not, at the very least, post something about it letting their customers know they’re on top of it. The steam mobile app hasn’t been updated in years and is borked all to heck and gone too. Wish they’d fix that as well.

all of the games that uses workshop items are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up :D

I am wondering if they tested the update with workshop or not.

[AKscene]

Same here! MODS disappeared and game fails to load! Backups not loading! What have they done?!

I've got 9 games that keep downloading workshop content over and over again since yesterday's update. Pausing downloads is the only way to make it stop, and only then until Steam is re-launched. Clearing my download cache, restarting Windows and so on have not helped.

I think I have the same problem. Also NONE of the mods are working so I can't play the game with my save game :(

[Larsen]

i had opened a ticket on this problem...

Same problem with DAYZ workshop

Steam should fix this because I'm getting pissed off at them for these updates that breaks stuff rather than fixing it.

One Steam update years ago broke the offline mode for Cities Skylines, now the actual Workshop content. Come on! Why you can't enjoy us play our games properly!

1. Unsubscribe one of the game mods you want to use
2.After that, all mods of the game are downloaded and installed (consistency check) on the Steam client side, so wait until completion
3. When the download progress is complete, resubscribe the mod you unsubscribed in step 1.
4. Wait for the download progress to complete
5. Perhaps at this point all mods will be registered correctly and the game will work properly

warning:
However, restarting / terminating the Steam client will disable all of these measures. The next time you launch the Steam client, it will return to its previous state.

Time wasting mostly if you have 1,300 content. Also stresses your disk.

Conan Exiles got unplayable nearly. Broken mods... broken servers... it's no fun. Please fix it.

You got it to work for you this way? I tried everything, including this and it was still borked. I suggest just waiting it out and all should be normal again.
