ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
“key-value-modded-strings-utf8” text files (ruling custom strings in mods and campaigns) from Local Mods conflict with Subscribed Mods.
Basically, the game fails to load “key-value-modded-strings-utf8” files when it has to load this file from a Local Mod. It works fine if the game only has to load Subsribed Mod(s). But as soon as you try to load a Local Mod that includes a modded strings text file, the game fails to load all of these, both for Local and Subsribed Mods.
So custom names ruled by custom strings are not displayed, and the renamed objects instead display the code name.

REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Have a Local Mod that includes a custom strings text file (key-value-modded-strings-utf8.txt).
- Make sure the Mod is enabled and launch the game.
- See that the custom strings (custom names) don’t load and don’t work. Everything else from the mod, including sound files, do load properly, only the custom strings text file won’t load.
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Local Mods should load “key-value-modded-strings-utf8.txt” consistently, and thus display the correct strings attributed via the editor.
“key-value-modded-strings-utf8.txt” file should load from Local Mods regardless, and shouldn’t interfere with subscribed mods that included a “key-value-modded-strings-utf8.txt” either.
I believe that this issue has something to do with the latest modifications towards mods created from Steam Accounts, which authors still cannot access at this point.
