[Bug] Scenario File Still "Transfers" Despite Being Subscribed to Mod

Game Version:

  • End of April 2020 patch
  • Steam
  • Windows 10
  • T-West

Issue:

When hosting a Custom Scenario in multiplayer, players may still receive a “transfer” download bar, despite already being subscribed to the mod and having the scenario file locally in their mod files.

Reproduction Steps:

Here’s how to reproduce the problem:

  1. Subscribe to a scenario mod.
  2. Host a lobby with that scenario.
  3. Have another player subscribe to the same mod.
  4. Have that player join a lobby.
  5. Have everyone click Ready.
  6. Notice the file transfers.

ATTACHMENTS:

Here’s Pete receiving a file transfer download bar, despite already being subscribed to the scenario mod. He ends up with a file in his %localappdata%\Temp\AOE2DE_Temp directory.
