hey dodonotdodo, did the devs give any answer? today me and a few friends tested a few things and currently this is what we have got so far:
-
“update” button no longer works, in order to update one must unsubscribe, and re-subscribe.
-
when a player joins lobby has an older version, they do not automatically update, nor do they get prompt to update. you mentioned it should automatically be done but is that at the start of the program, after movie into main menu?
-
if the mod is big, after downloading (subscribe via lobby) they will freeze for 2-3 minutes and during this time they cant chat, nor click ready, its like the game is completely frozen to them, though it will unfreeze after 3-4 minutes, most people dont realize it.
-
multiplayer saved games with data mod cannot be restored, we even tried modify mod-status.json and just no luck, it’ll always say we have different data file even though all of us subscribe to same version of the mod and played/saved, restore just dont work currently.
-
AI mods will force player always download AI files from host even if all the players are subscribe to the same AI mod, maybe some optimization can be done here.
-
UI mod and priority will only take effect AFTER game is restarted, this defeats the purposes of having priority in the first place. the same applies for enable/disable mod still requires a restart.
if possible, some of the biggest ones are multiplayer save game restoral, and joining lobby does not automatically update the mod. currently it is very difficult to play with mods and seems to get worse by each patch. I wasn’t sure if this area is your expertise or @GMEvangelos would normally take it away, if you could let devs know it’ll really help alot, thank you!
