Mods Eventually Disappear Even After Successful Install And Gameplay

[Atromitos]

Hi everyone

 

So I´ve been playing both Subnautica and Below Zero modded, and it was all working perfectly, until after a few days break not playing any of them I loaded Below Zero and to my surprise all mods were gone.

I was puzzled by that so I decided to check if I had the same issue with Subnautica and same thing.

 

I´m using Vortex and at no point between my break I downloaded and installed anything. I checked for new mod versions but everything is up to date. It´s like Vortex suddenly stopped working.

 

The only thing I can think of is to uninstall everything and re-install, but that will take time and if it happens again it´s going to be tedious doing it over and over again.

Ultimately, what Vortex does is to copy mod files into the QMOD folder in your game installation.

 

Can you check what's in:

 

<steamhome>\steamapps\common\subnauticazero\qmods

 

You might try reinstalling Qmod Manager, too, in case Steam has removed it somehow.

Thank you for your reply.

 

Sorry, I was about the write a reply that a Discord moderator guided me what to do.

 

It was Steam, for some reason in ''qmodmanager_log-SubnauticaZero.txt'' Steam DRM wasn't loading and when I was launching the game the time stamp for ''qmodmanager_log-SubnauticaZero.txt'' wasn't updating.

 

What I did is Closed Steam, deleted ''BepPinEx'' + ''winhttp.dll'' + ''doorstop_config.ini'' + ''qmodmanager_log-SubnauticaZero.txt''

Reinstalled QMods Manager and restarted my PC.

Then I launched the game and the issue was resolved.

 

Everything is back to normal now, still no idea why it happened or if it will happen again, at least I know now how to fix it at my end.
