Mod Browser Breaks Down

[TheBrit]

I have an issue with the mod browser...

When I first click on "Online" everything's fine... the list is full... but at this point, no matter what I click on, clears all the table columns and nothing comes back

I wanna try some of these mods that are already out

 

[mattpilot]

have the exact same problem.


Only way to get the list with mods back is to restart the game. But then when i go back into the mod browser the list will only stay there for 10-20 sec before it clears.


The navigation bar on the left side also clears.


no mods for meh?

Thank heavens I thought it was just me In which case I'd never get an answer

Out of curiosity - do you have steam on C: drive or another?

Mine is on the E: drive. I read on the official forum that installing steam on the C: drive fixes quite a few problems. The problem for me thou is that i can't do that - my C: drive is way to small.

Mine is on the C drive, same issue. The way this is going, it is good that this site has a file database.

My mod browser is always blank. I thought it was just because the SDK hasn't been released yet. I guess I have a problem also. Never have seen anything for even a second.

I guess this is more something for the devs than a general tech problem.

When I go to the mods screen to see what I can download, I can only see the available mods for a few seconds before the list disappears. The categories list disappear too. It will only appear again if I restart the game, but, again, for only a few seconds. It doesn't even give me a chance to download any. Suggestions?

Yea basically this.

One time i was quick enough to download something... anything. I just clicked my way through really fast. It did work and i could 'install it'. It was oceanic map type or something... no clue if it worked because ican't find that map type anywhere, but it shows as installed. Either way... annoys the shat out of me that the list goes blank every single time after a few seconds >:C

I feel stupid. I revisited the mods menu and then realized there are "tabs" at the top. Clicking the middle tab brings up available mods. Am now using the clock mod, works great!

I wish that was my problem But I'm glad you found a solution! Go you!

I have Steam installed on a different drive entirely and since the .20 patch I've been able to run mods absolutely fine. So I'm not sure the problem is to do with that. Have you tried using Steam to validate your civ files are all ok?

I should add that the list disappears after a few seconds for me too. I never noticed this before. I thought I had to click on something first. I assumed this is because the list auto-refreshes or something every four seconds?

My list of mods also disappears in a secs

Same problem here.
After clicking "online" list of categories in left window shows, but clicking on category or trying to search do nothing or all categories just disapearing.
Never got any list of mods, just categories...sometimes.
