:backhand_index_pointing_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.

If you have not already, try uploading it in-game. I always found the website a bit screwy at times. (It does work though sometimes.)

AFAIK, we haven’t been able to upload mods in the game itself for over a year.

Uh, of course you can. (although, an xbox account may be required. unless, you use your steam account. Which I do but, I have both but prefer steam.)

If not already, please read this guide: Steam Community :: Guide :: How to Make/Upload Mods

edit: this assumes "C:" but, other drives are possible as well.

edit: okay, so I was chatting with him on discord and even I cannot upload my theme. Maybe they disabled it because of me? :rofl: (I made a fully custom theme and broke things horribly. They probably don’t want people modding themes yet.)

I’ve tried this several times and also removed my widgetui folder from the mod, but nothing works. It just spins for a while then goes back to the mod page. Right now I’m at version 11.1 and then it goes back to 11.1 after I hit update. I’m pretty sure upload ingame has been broken for over a year. How do we upload mods now?

Also tried creating a new mod with my files, will not work. Same thing just spins. Are mods no longer able to be created or updated? Is there some new restriction or file type that is no longer supported? Devs please advise what is happening.

Fking AOE Team everyday, Yiyayiyayo~~~~

Alright. So, this is the same bug that I am with.

Even the in-game publish doesn’t work. It says publish failed for an unknown error.

I guess this website or game-generating files have some spaghetti codes that let unexpected bugs happen after a patch.

Please try again now. The issue preventing publishing should be resolved.
