Steam Workshop Forcing 34GB Redownload; I already have all mods!

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

So today i go to log onto arma only to become infuriated because steam workshop is forcing me to redownload 34GB of mods.
 
Originally all my mods were from the workshop and in the default directory. Now, steam has created a hidden folder called !workshop and moved every single mod there. This is fine, i can see all the files there. What is annoying me is that it is now redownloading every single one! WHY? I can see all the files that were previously there but it is trying to completely re download them all? Does anyone have a fix? I live in Australia and redownloading everything wtih our crappy internet isn't really an option

I reported this exact problem maybe 6-8 months ago. The BIS Devs actually wrote a program for me to run but I could not duplicate it so at least with my ticket, it was never fixed.

This has happened to me twice. Both times, every single one of my mods got corrupted because of this so I had to download them ALL again. Whatever you do, let it do its thing. If you try to stop the download, you will screw yourself.

I've come across a similar problem regarding the workshop. Please let me know if this should be in a separate thread.

 

I recently downloaded a bunch of addons and missions, including Isla Abramia. While configuring ArmA3Sync, I noticed that there were three (3) Isla Abramia folders ("@Isla Abramia 1.3", "@Isla Abramia 1.66", and "@Isla Abramia 1.7"). I noticed that only 1.7 was actually in the Steam Workshop, so I decided to delete the other folders.

 

After doing that, my Steam Downloads interface started flickering with "Arma 3 - Workshop Content".

Opening up Arma 3 Launcher and clicking "Repair" on Isla Abramia 1.7 does nothing, and neither does restarting Steam.

Do I need to restart my computer or redownload Arma or something?

Thanks for your responses guys. This is the second time its happened to me. As for your problem @Georg_Ravioli. Im not sure how to fix it. You could try unsubscribing to 1.7 in the workshop and resubscribing?
