InGame Mod Browser not working.

[Flyingdwarfzz]

After playing through a bunch of games in single player, i thought i would try out the mod database.

When i open the online database i get a single page of mods: i chose one i like and it attempts to connect. Nothing Happens.

After about a minuite of looking at the avalable mods, the list dissapears, leaving me with a emptry box.
I try and refresh the browser, and a ring appears in the centre. It fills up, and emptys, fills, and emptys, and after a minuite, it stops.
Blank screen.

When i check the "Downoads" Tab, it shows the mods i have chosen, but they arent doing anything.

Under status, it sais "WARNING" But nothing happens.

Help?

Edit:

Mods that i have downloaded from this website work fine, by the way.

Same problem here. It's very annoying, especially since I'm a heavy mod user. If I manage to click a mod in the 5-10 second window I have before it disappears, it will actually start downloading the next time I start Civ (although if I exit civ soon after going into the mod browser, it just hangs and I have to open the task manager to close it). However, clicking any of the sort options or waiting 5-10 seconds makes the whole list disappear so I can only use my workaround to download the most recent mods.

That is exactialy my problem...

Sometimes the mod database seems to work... 99% of the time it doesnt, however.

I had no problems with the mod browser for a while. Suddenly I get this same behavior. I cannot see any mods in the browser now. This is quite frustrating

This is still an issue for me even after the patch...anybody else? Any suggestions?

I have had same issue for a while i feel like i shouldn't have paid for this game

yeah this is a joke, firaxis really needs to get their sh*t together. my mods have been claiming that whenever i try enabling a mod that "another version of this mod is already enabled" now i cant even get into the "online" section of the modbrowser.

 

[SilentStorm73]

No answers for this??

Several people have told me to clear my cache...but I check that out and there doesn't seem to be anything to clear. I don't really understand what clearing my cache means and I am sceptical about this having anything to do with the mod browser disappearing.
Please advise!!!

nice frenze of posts last 3 days.
Atleast, now im certain im not the only one with this problem.

And it IS still a problem, it hasnt been fixed in the recent updates.

*Headdesk*

Who told you where to clean your cache?
Because i havent heard that fix yet ( i havent even heard a single fix yet )

Tell me how to do it, and ill try it myself.

Unfortunately I don't know what clear my cache means. A friend of mine who is a big PC gamer suggested that I look in the game files and do this. I found a file called cache but again, I don't see how this would only affect the in game mod browser...everything else works perfectly and I don't want to delete a needed game file.
I've been going to this sites' mods and downloading the old fashioned way. The Medics mod is cool as is the improved city-state diplomacy mod, but I'm very dissapointed with this issue. And the fact that not many people seem to be experiencing this problem makes me think that maybe I have some mysterious setting not correct or something.
If any of you figure this out please share!!

Clearing the cache exactly means what you assume: Delete everything in that folder.
It's not harmful. In fact, the cache is a temporary storage place for the needed ingame files, so it will only affect the loading time at the beginning.

 

[SHaW1986]

so deleting all of the database files wont affect the game in general or my save games?

 

[The_J]

The cache is not a database (just temporary storage room, which is not the same), so no, will not affect anything.

Same problem here.

I cant even reliably browse for the mods, let alone download them.

When I have the mod browser open in Civ5 and alt tab back to other applications my internet is either really slow or dead, so I think it is something to do with the internet access.

 

[SHaW1986]

all the files are "database files"

 

[The_J]

Does not matter, trust me .

These problems may be related to getting disconnected from the internet when opening the mod browser. That seems to happen because a lot of connections are opened simultaneously.

That thread might help with these issues also.
