Workshop Mods not updating automatically

[Slimurgical (Stormy)]

My workshop mods for Stellaris are not updating as quickly as they should be. Digital-only distribution is only worth it if the service is adequate enough and suffice it to say, it simply isn't.

Allow us the ability to manually scan for mod updates and install them all at once. When a game is open, mods won't update, they should do so anyways.

There are many games that updating mods mid playthrough would cause glitches, corrupt your saves, etc.

So true.

Total War games have an acceptable system. Their launcher is basic but workable.

I have installed hundreds of mods, have to review them at some point, even made a few myself.

Usually when in Steam browser and have downloads it is one of those mods updating in the background.

Installing/reverifying time stamp even with a mod during game play is just asking for trouble.

For every game I have, I have background downloads disabled.

If I want to use a major mod for play I check if it is up to date before launching game.

You can force an update by unsubscribing and resubscribing.
