Issue:
Whenever I select mods they do not show up in the standard game and are not downloaded.
So I installed this game at launch and I have been trying to play the game with a few mods. For example, I would like to play on a forest nothing map with x9 tech mod or something. But the mods are not activated correctly and are not downloaded properly. In this image:
, you can see that I have selected and activated a few mods. However, when I try to select the map in the custom scenario, it doesn’t show up.
When i select the mods in the “Browse mods” tab, they get an “!” before them in the “Installed Mods” tab. Then when I hover over the mod it says downloading, but it never stops downloading. If I then relaunch the game, I get what you can see in the picture, but the files are not downloaded. I also tried to just let it download for a few minutes but it doesn’t seem to download anything.
Furthermore, when I go to the folder on my PC with the mods (C:\Users###\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE###\mods\subscribed) , I can see the folders with the mods to which I am subscribed to. But when i open the folders, the actual files needed for the mod to work are not there, there are only the info.json files there.
And I don’t know if it is part of the same issue or not, but whenever I try to click the: “Open Directory” buttons in game, it doesn’t open the folder in Windows (not even in admin mode), while the “More Info” button does work.
Steps I have taken to try and resolve the issue:
- Reinstalled the game, first it was on another drive but now it is on my C drive
- Subscribed to the mods in game as well as on the website, and being logged in in the game with the same account (Microsoft account)
- Installed the Xbox Console Companion app in Windows, like one of the mods in the Discord suggested
- Deleted the folder with the mods in it, and started the game in admin mode
- Verified game integrity
